Everything you need to know about the FRCST Fund strategy, risk framework, and investment structure — answered plainly.
The foundation of the framework — how losses are bounded at every level.
No. There are no risk-free investments. However, in this system risk is always defined in advance and strictly limited. Every trade has a known maximum loss before it is opened, and a hard daily limit caps total losses regardless of market conditions. There is no scenario in which the system can incur unlimited losses.
Every trade has a predefined entry, stop-loss, and take-profit level. The maximum loss per trade is calculated from the distance between the entry and stop-loss, multiplied by the position size. This figure is known before execution and represents only a small fraction of total capital.
A strict daily risk limit is built into the system. Regardless of the number of open trades, the total risk across all simultaneously open positions cannot exceed a predefined percentage of current equity — at any point during the session. This limit is technically enforced and cannot be overridden.
No. The layered risk architecture makes a total capital loss structurally impossible under normal operating conditions. The hard daily loss limit, combined with automatic exposure reduction during drawdown phases, ensures that losses are always bounded. The system is explicitly designed to slow itself down when conditions deteriorate.
It does not mean that losses are impossible. It means that risk is never implicit or unknown. Every risk parameter — per trade, per day, and at portfolio level — is defined before any position is opened. The system cannot be exposed to surprises it has not already accounted for. We call this zero-risk because the framework eliminates uncontrolled, undefined risk — not all risk.
No. All risk decisions — stop-loss levels, position sizing, daily limits, and exposure adjustments — are governed entirely by fixed, pre-set rules. No human can override these parameters during normal operation. This removes emotion and inconsistency from the risk management process entirely.
From market selection through to intraday close — the full execution loop.
The system trades liquid digital asset markets. Only instruments that meet strict objective criteria — sufficient intraday volatility, a clear price structure, and proven tradability within the session — are admitted. Markets that fail these criteria are automatically excluded before any trade analysis begins.
Only fully closed market candles across multiple timeframes. The system does not use live feeds, real-time data, news, or sentiment signals. Every decision is based on historical candle data that is already confirmed and cannot change. This makes the system's decisions fully reproducible and auditable.
For each market that passes the pre-selection phase, multiple independent analytical models generate a fully specified trade proposal — including entry, stop-loss, take-profit, and an explicit risk-reward ratio. Each model analyses identical data but applies its own internal reasoning. The system then selects exactly one setup per instrument according to fixed, pre-defined selection criteria.
Yes. The system continues to monitor every open position throughout the trading session. If a market does not develop as anticipated, exit levels are automatically and defensively adjusted. The system can tighten a stop-loss to reduce risk, but it can never widen one. Open positions are not simply left to run — they are actively managed until close.
No. All positions are closed at the end of every trading session without exception. This eliminates overnight risk, weekend gap exposure, and any vulnerability to events that occur outside market hours. Every trading day begins from a clean, fully neutral baseline.
No. The system operates long-only. All trades are intraday long positions within selected liquid markets. This simplifies the risk profile and eliminates the unlimited downside risk that short positions can carry.
Leverage as a risk tool — not a return amplifier.
No. Leverage is used solely as a tool to apply the strategy efficiently — not to increase risk. The level of leverage at any given time is determined by the system's performance, not by a desire to amplify returns. If performance temporarily deteriorates, the system automatically reduces leverage. The system is therefore able to slow itself down.
This is handled fully automatically based on the development of total capital. The system continuously tracks the highest equity peak ever reached and monitors current drawdown relative to that level. As drawdown increases, exposure is automatically reduced through pre-defined thresholds. There is no human intervention, and adjustments are never made based on individual trades or emotions.
As drawdown increases, the system automatically steps down through pre-defined leverage thresholds — from normal operating levels toward increasingly defensive configurations. This happens gradually and without shocks. The deeper the drawdown, the lower the exposure. When equity recovers and a new high watermark is reached, leverage is gradually normalised again.
No. Each investor profile operates at a different base exposure level. Ultra Defensive runs at 1.0× (unlevered), while Accelerated runs at the highest calibrated level. The underlying strategy and risk framework are identical across all profiles — only the degree of exposure differs. All profiles are subject to the same automatic drawdown-based reduction mechanism.
Same framework, different exposure — how the four profiles work.
All four profiles run the identical strategy within the same Zero-Risk Framework. The difference is the level of exposure applied:
Ultra Defensive — Unlevered (1.0×). Lowest volatility. Full system access with no additional leverage.
Defensive — Moderate dynamic leverage. Controlled volatility expansion.
Balanced — Elevated dynamic leverage. Greater return variability with stronger upside potential.
Accelerated — Maximum calibrated leverage. The hard daily risk limit remains fully intact.
No. The market selection, trade setup, execution logic, and risk architecture are identical across all profiles. The only variable is the base exposure level. A participant in Accelerated sees the same trades as a participant in Ultra Defensive — the difference is in the magnitude of the position sizes applied.
Profile changes are subject to the terms of the fund agreement. Please contact us directly to discuss profile transitions and any applicable conditions.
The right profile depends on your tolerance for equity fluctuation and your return expectations. Ultra Defensive is suited to investors who prioritise capital stability above all else. Accelerated is intended for investors with a high risk appetite who accept greater short-term volatility in exchange for higher long-term upside. We recommend discussing your situation with us before selecting a profile.
The 5% Capital Release Programme — structured returns tied to performance.
The Capital Release Programme is a structured mechanism by which a participant's initial investment is progressively returned through performance. Each time the strategy closes a month at a new high watermark, 5% of the participant's original investment is released back to them. This continues until the full initial investment has been returned.
A release is triggered only when the strategy reaches a new monthly high watermark — meaning the fund closes the month at a higher equity level than any previous month-end. Flat months and declining months do not trigger a release. The release mechanism is strictly tied to verified, realised performance.
5% of the participant's original investment amount at time of entry. This is a fixed figure based on the initial commitment — it does not fluctuate with current fund value. For example, if a participant's initial investment was €100,000, each qualifying release is €5,000, regardless of how the fund has performed since entry.
The programme runs until 100% of the initial investment has been returned — which takes a minimum of 20 qualifying months. After that point, the programme concludes and the remaining capital — which by definition consists entirely of profits — stays fully invested within the strategy.
Once the full initial investment has been returned, the remaining capital continues to compound within the strategy under the same Zero-Risk Framework. At that point, the participant is effectively operating entirely on profits — with the original capital already secured.
Exit requests are processed on a monthly basis. Participants who wish to withdraw their capital may do so by submitting a redemption request in accordance with the fund's administration process, with the exit taking effect at the next available monthly settlement date.
Participants who exit within the first six months of their participation are subject to an early exit fee of 2% of the withdrawn amount. This fee reflects the operational costs associated with early redemption and is intended to support the stability of the fund for remaining participants. After six months, no early exit fee applies.
How the fund operates, who it is for, and how to get started.
The minimum participation amount is €100,000. This threshold reflects the fund's focus on qualified and professional investors for whom a meaningful allocation is both appropriate and proportionate. All participants go through an intake process prior to onboarding to confirm eligibility and suitability.
FRCST Fund is intended for qualified and professional investors — including high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutional investors — who seek systematic, rules-based exposure to digital asset markets with strictly defined downside boundaries. It is not designed for speculative short-term traders or investors with low tolerance for any drawdown.
FRCST Fund operates under a professional fund structure. The strategy is managed by FRCST; administration, NAV tracking, and fee calculation are handled by an independent administration party. FRCST does not have direct access to participant capital. Please contact us for detailed structural and legal documentation.
Live performance data for all four profiles is published directly on the FRCST Fund website and updated daily. Key metrics include ROI since start, year-to-date return, average monthly return, maximum drawdown, and Sharpe ratio. Full monthly return history is available in the performance section.
The strategy and underlying infrastructure have been in active development and refinement for three years. This period was deliberately used to stress-test the system across a range of market conditions — including periods of high volatility, prolonged drawdowns, and rapid recoveries — before opening participation to external investors. What is now available to the market represents the output of that full development cycle, not an early-stage concept. Live performance data reflecting this track record is published on the website and updated daily.
Yes. FRCST Fund provides all reporting and documentation that is legally required under applicable regulations. This includes periodic statements produced by the independent administrator covering participant positions, NAV, and distributions. As tax treatment varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstance, participants are advised to consult a qualified tax adviser in their country of residence.
FRCST Fund operates on a management fee and performance fee structure. The performance fee is calculated above the high watermark — meaning fees are only charged on genuine new profits. Full fee details are provided in the fund documentation, available upon request via the Investor Portal.
The first step is to contact us via the Investor Portal or by email. We will schedule an intake conversation to discuss your situation, confirm eligibility, and help you select the most appropriate investor profile. Onboarding documentation is then handled through the fund's administration process.
We welcome detailed questions from serious investors. Reach out to schedule a conversation, or access the Investor Portal for documentation and onboarding.
