Risk Disclosure
Important information about the risks associated with quantitative trading and investment in Trinity Quant strategies.
Please Read Carefully
Trading in financial markets carries substantial risk and may not be suitable for all investors. You should carefully consider your financial situation, investment objectives, and risk tolerance before investing with Trinity Quant. Only invest capital you can afford to lose.
By opening an account with Trinity Quant, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted all risks disclosed herein.
Primary Risk Factors
Market Risk
All trading strategies are subject to market risk. Adverse price movements in gold, indices, or stocks can result in significant losses. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Markets can remain irrational longer than accounts can remain solvent.
Volatility Risk
Financial markets can experience extreme volatility. Rapid price swings can trigger stop-losses, result in slippage, or cause cascading liquidations. During high volatility, losses can exceed normal risk parameters.
Leverage Risk
Our strategies may employ leverage to enhance returns. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses. A small adverse price movement in a leveraged position can result in significant losses, potentially exceeding your initial investment.
Liquidity Risk
In certain market conditions, it may be difficult or impossible to exit positions at desired prices. Illiquid markets can result in wider bid-ask spreads, slippage, and inability to execute trades promptly.
Model Risk
Quantitative strategies rely on mathematical models and historical data. Models may fail to predict future market behavior. Assumptions embedded in models may prove incorrect. Strategies that worked historically may fail in different market regimes.
Technology Risk
Our strategies depend on complex technology infrastructure. System failures, software bugs, connectivity issues, or cybersecurity breaches could result in missed opportunities, incorrect trades, or unauthorized access.
Counterparty Risk
We trade through various exchanges and brokers. The failure of any counterparty could result in loss of funds. While we use reputable institutions, no counterparty is entirely risk-free.
Regulatory Risk
Changes in laws, regulations, or tax treatment could adversely impact our operations or your returns. Regulatory actions could limit trading strategies, impose capital controls, or restrict withdrawals.
Concentration Risk
While we diversify across strategies, all positions may be correlated during market stress. During crises, diversification benefits can disappear as correlations converge to 1.
Performance Disclaimer
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Historical returns, whether actual or backtested, do not guarantee future performance. Market conditions change, and strategies that performed well historically may underperform or generate losses in the future.
Backtested performance results have inherent limitations. They assume perfect execution, ignore market impact, and benefit from hindsight bias. Actual trading results may differ substantially from backtested results.
Performance figures shown are net of fees and expenses unless otherwise stated. Individual results will vary based on timing of investments, market conditions, and fee structures.
Potential for Total Loss
YOU MAY LOSE YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
Trading financial instruments carries the risk of substantial or complete loss of capital. In extreme scenarios, losses could exceed your initial investment if leverage is employed. There is no guarantee of profit, and you should only invest money you can afford to lose entirely.
Trinity Quant employs risk management protocols to limit losses, but these controls are not foolproof. During extreme market events, risk controls may fail to protect capital.
