Minimum Capital
Minimum Capital Requirement — USD 500,000
The program requires a minimum starting balance of USD 500,000 per client account.
This threshold has been established to ensure:
1. Institutional-Level Execution
A USD 500,000 account size allows the trader to:
Implement structured position sizing
Maintain disciplined risk management parameters
Access sufficient liquidity across targeted AI, infrastructure, and energy equities
Avoid over-concentration in single positions
Smaller balances can restrict trade structuring flexibility and reduce capital efficiency.
2. Proper Risk Allocation
The program is designed around:
A USD 500,000 baseline enables:
3. Alignment With Qualified Client Profile
This is a private placement structure intended for:
The minimum capital level ensures the program remains aligned with a sophisticated investor base capable of understanding equity market volatility and structured trade mandates.
4. Scalability
Clients may increase capital after the initial 3–6 month trial period.
The segregated account structure allows:
Each account remains independently structured and under the client’s name at Lightspeed Financial Services Group LLC.
Capital Protection Structure
Importantly:
Funds are held in the client’s own brokerage account
No pooling of investor capital
No transfer into trader-controlled master accounts
Full transparency and daily monitoring capability
The USD 500,000 starting balance remains under the client’s direct ownership and custody at all times.
Trial Period
Trial Period — 3 to 6 Months
The program includes an initial 3–6 month trial phase, designed to allow both the client and the trader to establish performance alignment, operational familiarity, and strategic confidence before longer-term capital scaling.
This period serves several important purposes:
1. Performance Validation in Live Market Conditions
The trial period is not a simulation or theoretical model. It reflects:
Real-time market execution
Actual volatility conditions
Live capital deployment
Transparent performance tracking
Clients are able to evaluate:
This ensures performance assessment is grounded in real market conditions rather than projections.
2. Operational Familiarisation
During the trial phase:
The client becomes fully comfortable with the account interface
Trade activity can be monitored daily
Reporting cadence (monthly or quarterly settlement) is established
Communication protocols between client and trader are refined
This creates clarity and avoids structural misunderstandings before scaling capital.
3. Capital Protection & Controlled Scaling
The 3–6 month window allows:
Conservative initial deployment
Gradual capital layering
Measured exposure to targeted AI and energy equities
Realistic drawdown assessment
The program prioritises disciplined execution over aggressive early capital expansion.
4. Exit Flexibility
At the conclusion of the trial period, the client may:
Continue under the same structure
Increase capital allocation
Maintain current capital level
Withdraw subject to brokerage and settlement procedures
There are no lock-up structures imposed by Multistream. Funds remain in the client’s segregated account at all times.
5. Alignment of Interests
Because profits are settled on a 50/50 basis, the trial period ensures:
Performance-driven alignment
Mutual evaluation of working relationship
No management fees extracted independent of results
The trader’s incentive remains directly linked to account performance.
Profit Settlement
Profit Settlement Structure — 50 / 50 Performance Basis
The program operates on a performance-based profit-sharing model, structured on a 50/50 split between the Client and the Trader.
This means:
No management fees
No upfront performance charges
No capital custody by the trader
Compensation is earned only from realised profits
How Profit Is Calculated
Profit settlement is based on:
Net realised trading gains
After brokerage and execution costs
Calculated at the agreed monthly or quarterly interval
Unrealised (open position) gains are not included until positions are closed and profit is crystallised.
Settlement Frequency
Clients may elect:
Monthly settlement
Quarterly settlement
Settlement timing is agreed within the private placement agreement prior to commencement of trading.
Distribution Process
Trading activity occurs within the client’s segregated brokerage account.
At the end of the agreed cycle, net realised profit is calculated.
The client retains 50% of the net profit.
The trader’s 50% performance allocation is distributed from the client account in accordance with the executed trade management agreement.
All calculations remain fully transparent and verifiable through the brokerage reporting system.
High-Water Mark Principle
To maintain alignment and fairness:
Profit share is calculated only on new net gains
If a drawdown occurs, performance must recover to the previous high-water level before additional performance share applies
This ensures the trader is rewarded only for genuine net growth, not volatility recovery.
Alignment of Incentives
Because the trader earns solely from performance:
Capital preservation remains a priority
Excessive leverage is discouraged
Risk discipline is embedded in the mandate
Long-term sustainability outweighs short-term speculation
The structure ensures both parties benefit from disciplined execution and consistent growth.
