The portfolio manager may have discretion to make trades in the account on behalf of the account holder. The portfolio manager might send automated trading signals directly to an investor’s account to trade a particular hedge fund’s strategy. • The managed account typically provides investors with extensive risk management tools that allow the investor to restrict the (1) maximum drawdown, (2) leverage and the (3) amount of capital the portfolio manager may invest on behalf of the investor. What does ”non-custodial” mean? • At no point would Hedge Fund Creator have the ability to transfer/move the investor’s money out of their accounts, i.e. we never take “custody” of an investor’s capital. The assets remain under the control of the investor at all times. • Investors would have full control over their investments and accounts at all times, and can switch on/off a hedge fund strategy within seconds.
