Common questions
-
Do I need to be an “accredited investor”?
No, because you are not actually buying shares in a partnership or LLC (as you would if you invested in a hedge fund). Instead you are using the Collective2 Platform to send electronic trading instructions into your own brokerage account automatically, based on the strategies you select.
-
Who do I write a check to? Who keeps my money?
You don’t write a check. You keep your own money in your own brokerage account.
-
What kind of strategies can I select?
You can select from strategies that trade futures, stocks, options, or foreign exchange.
-
How can I decide which strategies to use?
You can see the historical trading records of all the strategies on the Collective2 Platform. This helps you decide which strategies you are most comfortable with.
-
What percentage of profits do I need to pay to you?
Zero.
-
What percentage of assets do I need to pay to you?
Zero.
-
Huh? What gives? How do you make money?
We charge one flat fee for each strategy you want to deploy inside your brokerage account, typically around $100 per month (some strategies are less, some are more.) That fee does not change whether you have a lot of money or a little. You never pay a percentage of profits.
-
Can you guarantee trading profits?
Of course not. Trading is risky. But hedge funds can’t guarantee trading profits, either. They can’t guarantee anything, really… except that you will pay them their management fees.
