MANAGED FUNDS
The FX Pro Trading managed account option was set up in January 2005 in
response to demand from clients who were unable, or did not wish to
follow trade signals. It is now attracting other clients who have never
traded Forex, but were looking for above average returns.
The Managed Fund options are designed to appeal to clients that are looking for long term capital growth with a limited downside risk.
Key features:
Overview: Our clients have a choice of three Managed Funds options:
1. Mini Account - trades same systems as Standard MA. However trading lots reduced by half (4 instead of 8).
2. Standard Managed Account - trades are executed as per Easy and Pro systems (minimum investment of $20,000 is required)
3. VIP Managed Account - includes four systems Easy, Standard, Pro and Exclusive (minimum investment $30,000)
4. Custom Portfolio option - gives our clients freedom of choice. By choosing this option our clients may include any number of systems to their account. (Minimum investment $50,000)
We start from the basis that you understand what currency trading is all about and understand the risks as well as the potential rewards.
Our managed account options are for experienced investors only, so we will make no effort to explain the Forex market. If you are not familiar with Forex trading or managed accounts, please spend some time researching the subject.
All managed accounts are held in US dollars. All deposits made in non-US currency will be automatically converted to US dollars by IFX Markets.
Below you will find simple straightforward facts about FX Pro Trading managed account options.
Objective: We have a very simple objective: to maximize capital growth whilst managing risks.
Our managed accounts have more conservative money management rules, so we expect the returns to be between 100% and 200% per annum.
More importantly, we are committed to protecting the downside risk.
Performance figures for Managed accounts can be found here.
Risk Management: With any individual trade, it is important to limit the maximum loss than can be suffered. We have set the following limits for various account sizes:
Trade Size:
Trade size is calculated at 4% (8 mini lots) of $20,000 (Standard)
account equity and 3% (9 mini lots) of $30,000/$50,000 account equity
(VIP/Custom Portfolio options). The correct trade size is allocated to
each client account and this is increased automatically as the account
equity grows.
(Lot size is equal to 10,000 units of base currency)
We monitor each account and make fortnightly adjustments to the trade
size to reflect the current equity level and stay in line with our
money management strategy.
Number of trades: We follow different systems for different managed account options. Hence there may be >20 trades per month for each managed account option. We also can have multiple trades opened for same pair.
Account Setup Fees: FX Pro Trading will only charge once off account setup fee of $499 (Standard) and $999 (VIP/Custom Portfolio) and will not charge any joining, membership or other on-going monthly fees. Our remuneration is entirely performance based. (If we do not make profits for our clients, we receive nothing)
We are paid 25% of the profits achieved. This is calculated from net return. Broker's transaction Fee per round turn is $1.25 per (1 mini lot) 10,000 of the base currency charged on entry. Overnight rollover interest varies daily for each pair.
Our remuneration is paid monthly in arrears directly from the client accounts at IFX Markets on a 'high watermark' basis.
'High watermark basis' means:
If for example we grow an account from $20,000 to $24,000 in a month, we are paid $1000 (25% of $ 4,000)
The client account now stands at $23,000, so in the following month we are paid 25% of the account value above $23,000 (which is the new high watermark)
Please note: Out incentive fee for all Mini Accounts is 50%
