Delta Neutral Trades
Delta-neutral structures across liquid FX pairs and equity index futures. Long and short legs offset market direction, so the book earns from pricing inefficiencies rather than market direction.
40% of portfolio
Statistical Arbitrage
Short-horizon statistical arbitrage across FX, equity indices, commodities and metals. Mean-reversion and cross-asset signals exploit pricing inefficiencies under strict, rule-based limits.

Measured. Accountable.
| Metric | Value | Basis |
|---|---|---|
Net CAGR | 26.34% | Net of 40% performance fee, after the 5% hurdle |

Hurdle Outperformance | 5.2x | Return multiple over the 5% benchmark |
Max Targeted Drawdown | < 5% | Systematic risk controls, per strategy mandate |
Target metrics reflect strategy objectives for 2026, stated net of performance fees after the 5% hurdle rate. They are not realized results and not guarantees of future performance. Methodology and full terms available on request.
Built for different markets.
A 4-quadrant view of how the strategy behaves when conditions change. Behavior is rule-based — not improvised.
Market crash / volatility spikes
Volatility spikes widen arbitrage spreads — the book tilts toward relative-value trades while directional exposure is cut by rule, and the cash sleeve absorbs the shock.
Extended bull market
Directional beta stays hedged while arbitrage sleeves harvest basis and cross-market spreads that persist in calm conditions. Hurdle logic keeps fees tied to new net highs.
Deflationary stagnation
Directional regimes fade, but pricing inefficiencies don't. Arbitrage across FX, indices, commodities and metals carries the book while cash yields do quiet work.
Liquidity squeezes
Liquidity filters tighten before fills suffer. Arbitrage sizes scale down, position limits lock in, and capital preservation outranks return capture.
Fees, with alignment in mind.
If we don't clear the hurdle, we don't take performance fees.

Asked often, answered plainly.
The essentials on minimums, fees, strategy and getting started.
What is the minimum starting investment?
The fund accepts a minimum starting investment of $1,000 USD. The calculator on this page compounds any amount you enter at the fund's 3.0% target monthly rate, net of fees, over six years.
How is Fast9 Capital compensated?
There is no management fee. Compensation is a 40% performance fee, charged only on returns above the 5% hurdle — the firm earns when its clients earn.
What does the fund actually trade?
A systematic, rules-based program built on delta neutral trades, statistical arbitrage and a dedicated risk sleeve, allocated 40 / 40 / 20. Every position is sized by rule, not by opinion.
Are the projected returns guaranteed?
No. Figures are illustrations of compounding, not forecasts. Trading carries risk, and neither past nor projected performance guarantees future results.
