Risk Considerations in Funds Management

Review trading, drawdown, fee, subscription, record, and redemption risks for Fund Managers and Investors using current terms and status.

Funds Management allows an eligible Investor to allocate funds to a fund managed by a Fund Manager. The current fund information, investment terms, fees, status and available actions are displayed in the supported FXTRADING.com flow.


Before subscribing to a fund

Review the information displayed for the fund, including:

  • the Fund Manager and available performance information;

  • the investment currency and amount requirements;

  • performance-fee information;

  • investment and redemption conditions;

  • current risk disclosures; and

  • the account or wallet that will be used.

Do not subscribe solely because of a ranking, previous return or invitation from another person.


How are results and fees reflected?

The platform records investment performance and any applicable fee according to the current fund settings and product calculation. Review the fund and investment records for the figures applied to your investment.

FXTRADING.com does not guarantee a return, and a Fund Manager cannot guarantee that an investment will be profitable.


What risks should I understand?

Funds Management involves trading risk. The value of an investment can rise or fall, and losses can occur. Platform controls over withdrawals or permissions do not protect an investment from market loss or guarantee the Fund Manager’s performance or solvency.


What Are These Parameters?

Both Maximum Drawdown and Stop-Loss Level are mandatory fields during fund creation:

  • Maximum value: Both parameters can be set up to 100%

  • Purpose: These parameters serve as risk disclosure indicators to help investors assess whether a fund aligns with their risk tolerance

  • Important note: These parameters are informational only and do not trigger any automated risk control actions (such as automatic stop-loss or position closure) during fund operation


How Investors View Risk Information

When a potential investor opens a current Funds Management Invitation Link and the fund page loads, it may show five risk-related indicators according to the current fund record and available fields:

  1. Return Rate: The fund's performance returns

  2. Expected Maximum Drawdown: The Maximum Drawdown value set by the Fund Manager during fund creation

  3. Actual Maximum Drawdown: The fund's real maximum drawdown since inception

  4. Expected Stop-Loss: The Stop-Loss Level value set by the Fund Manager during fund creation

  5. Risk Level: A 1-10 scale (1 = lowest risk, 10 = highest risk)

These disclosures support comparison before a subscription, but they do not guarantee understanding, suitability, future accuracy, or an investment outcome. An investor should review each value’s definition, period, risks, fees, and current record.


Performance Fee Formula

The Performance Fee is calculated as:


Fee = (Profit since inception - High Water Mark) × Fee rate

Where:

  • Profit since inception: Total results from all closed and open positions from the investment's start until the current billing period ends or the investment closes

  • High Water Mark: The highest profit level reached at the end of any previous billing period

  • Fee rate: The percentage of investment profit payable to the Fund Manager

At each billing period's end, we compare current profit to the previous High Water Mark. If profit exceeds this mark, the new higher value becomes the High Water Mark for future periods.

Note: If profit since inception is lower than the High Water Mark, no Performance Fee is charged for that period.



How do I redeem from a fund?

Use the redemption function displayed for the investment. A redemption can require review, calculation, settlement and transfer before the funds become available.

Use the current status and estimate shown. Do not submit duplicate redemption requests.
