Platform Structure & Value For High Net Worth Investors

The Structure and Value of the AlphaMetrix Platform:

The AlphaMetrix Platform combines the advantages of individual managed accounts with pooled investments, including hedge fund investments and commodity investments. AlphaMetrix, LLC is the Sponsor of the AlphaMetrix Platform and maintains the entire back office process. The AlphaMetrix Platform provides real-time online investment tracking to high net worth investors. When investments are made through the AlphaMetrix Platform, trade validation and risk of fraud is mitigated.  High net worth investors only need to perform their operational and structural due diligence once, but will have access to the selection of managers on the AlphaMetrix Platform, freeing up resources to focus on the investment process.

But the key element of this investment system is the "structured managed account." Each structured managed account provides investors with the same benefits as the manager's own fund and traditional managed accounts.

Leverage:

High net worth investors are not required to fully fund the investments, which includes commodities investments, on the AlphaMetrix Platform, but are required to in the manager's fund. For most managers on the AlphaMetrix Platform, the investor may achieve up to three or four times leverage on their cash invested, or, stated another way, can achieve 100% exposure by depositing 25% to 33% of the nominal trading level (to achieve maximum leverage). There is no borrowing cost associated with leverage for accounts containing futures or FX trading programs.

Trading:

An investor has semi-monthly liquidity in most cases for investments on the AlphaMetrix Platform and the AlphaMetrix Risk Management Department has real-time liquidity to manage any risk.

At the same time, AlphaMetrix's structured managed accounts also offer advantages over traditional managed accounts themselves through:

  • Limited Liability:Unlike direct managed accounts that can subject high net worth investors to potentially unlimited liability in the event of a market disaster, investors in the AlphaMetrix Platform would only be subjected to limited loss (to the extent allowable by law).

  • Efficiency:No need for long negotiations and credit review process. Investors will not need to make arrangements with a broker or negotiate fees with the trading advisor.  Instead, investors will be able to easily make an investment in one or more trading advisors on the AlphaMetrix Platform quickly without excessive paperwork.

Administration/Back Office:

Managed by AlphaMetrix, LLC to remove the operational burdens of managed account investments.
