Noncustodial
systematic alpha.
A Bridgewater-grade systematic strategy, on rails that remove the trust requirement.

The problem
The $300bn problem
with hedge funds.
Every hedge fund runs on one thing: your trust.
Opacity
You can't see what they hold, or what they're doing with your money.
Illiquidity
Lockups and gates decide when — or whether — you get your capital back.
Misconduct
When trust fails it fails catastrophically, and ordinary people lose everything.
What if there was another way?
Why now
It took ten years for the tech to catch up.
