Are your trading systems fully automated or discretionary?
International Forex Investment was inspired by algorithmic trading research and the primary objective of the firm is to focus on developing trading models and strategies based on market price volatility. International Forex Investment utilizes trading systems based on algorithmic trading approaches, as well as variety of non-predictive and discretionary models incorporated into a trading portfolio. Currently we use High Frequency trading, automated scalping, manual trading and Price Volatility strategies on Forex market, however, this model can be applied to other markets.
The minimum investment is 5,000 USD or equivalent in base currency supported by the broker.
Clients are charged a fair fee for the performance, which is a 50% of any new profits made, based on a High Watermark on accounts less than 50,000 USD.
Accounts over 50,000 USD are managed on 40% High Water Mark Policy. Accounts over 100,000 USD are managed on 30% High Water Mark Policy
It means that incentive fees are paid only on NET new rises in asset value. If a temporary decline occurs, it must be recouped before new incentive fees are paid.
This ensures that Portfolio Managers receive a performance fee only when the account value exceeds its previous high.
Portfolio Managers fees are being paid as a fraction of the spread, which is part of the agreement with the broker.
There are no any other extra fees for the Application, Withdrawal etc...
Our managed funds program offers High Water Mark protections for the investor. This is the status quo within the industry now and assures investors that profit sharing will be calculated based on a fair valuation of returns earned.
Managed Forex Account. How it works?
Managed Forex Accounts are fully segregated accounts individually owned by each Investor at a brokerage firm and managed by our Portfolio Manager on client's behalf.
How it works, is the investor opens a trading account at a reputable brokerage firm. The investor then funds their account. No one can access the funds in this account apart from the investor who retains full access and control over the account at all times. Forex Managed Account is than added to an International Forex Investment Master Account that allows the Investor to have their funds traded professionally by International Forex Investment Portfolio Manager.
As a part of this arrangement an authorization document is signed called a Limited Power of Attorney (LPOA). This document is an agreement between the International Forex Investment and the Investor, which enables the International Forex Investment Portfolio Manager to trade an Investor's account on their behalf. Clients retain full control over their accounts at all times and International Forex Investment Portfolio Managers are granted "trade only" access to the accounts.
The PAMM (Percent Allocation Management Module) distributes gains, losses and fees on an equal percentage basis. In this way all accounts regardless of size obtain the same percentage returns.
The MAM (Multi-Account Manager) is a combination of the features found in a PAMM and offers more flexibility to the trader managing investor accounts.
This is all handled by the trader and the brokerage, making it seamless for investors to participate. Investors have read only access to their managed account at all times, either through an online report viewer or directly through the trading platform. They can view their account, including balance, profit and closed trades; however they will not be able to place their own trades on the account, unless they revoke their LPOA, which as stated, is the document that enables the trader the ability to trade on their behalf. This structure offers clients full control, access, flexibility and true transparency.
Safety and control of your funds
You are the one in total control of your account. For example you can withdraw your funds at any time without penalty or stop trading at any point if you decide to do so.
This puts you in control of your investment. With a Forex Managed Account your funds are held by you and only you in your brokerage account. You do not send International Forex Investment your funds at any point. A Managed Forex Account protects you, as you would retain complete control of your funds in a fully regulated brokerage. You are the only person that would have access to your funds and the only person who can withdraw those funds. As we trade only with regulated brokers, your funds are held on segregated accounts by the brokers.
The security of investment solely depends upon the broker you choose.
This whole process can all be completed within a matter of few days. The first step is to fill in your details on the open a new account page. Then we will guide you through the process to open your account at the brokerage where International Forex Investment holds its MAM master account. This is a very simple process to fill out the brokerage online application form and provide them with your proof of address and photo ID. Once your account has been approved you will be sent the LPOA form to sign. You can then fund your account and as soon as your account is funded live trading will commence.
