Renaissance Performance.
Accessible Minimums.

Three reasons:

1. Size advantage: Two Sigma manages $60B+. DE Shaw manages $60B+. We're starting smaller, which means we can exploit opportunities they can't touch due to capacity constraints.

2. Modern technology: We're using cutting-edge ensemble ML and real-time signal processing. Many large funds are constrained by legacy infrastructure.

3. Multi-engine architecture: Our Quant Engine Room™ runs 3 specialized engines (QLCDX: AI Intelligence, QLCDE: Equity Growth, QLCDO: Options Income) optimized for different market conditions. Large funds often dilute returns with too many uncorrelated strategies.

Because we can be. Large hedge funds raise minimums to manage capacity and reduce operational overhead (fewer investors = less admin). We're using modern infrastructure (Allocations.com, automated reporting) that makes it economical to serve investors starting at $250K. Plus, we want to democratize access to institutional-grade quant strategies.

Renaissance can charge those fees because:
1. They're closed to outside investors (employees only)
2. They have 30+ years of unmatched track record
3. Investors have no alternative — you can't get in even if you wanted to

We charge standard 2% + 20% because:
1. We want to attract serious capital early
2. Our performance speaks for itself — no need to gouge on fees
3. If we're delivering 60-100% returns, you'll net 46-78% after fees. That's exceptional by any measure.

Absolutely. $5M qualifies you for our Accelerator tier, which includes:
• Monthly performance reports
• Priority 24-hour support
• Quarterly strategy calls with fund manager
• Early access to new strategies
• Standard 2% + 20% fees

You'd get better service than most $10M minimums at competitors, for half the entry point.

Perfect. That's exactly who our Founding Member ($250K) and Foundation ($1M) tiers are designed for. You get:
• Access to the same strategies as $10M investors
• Same fee structure (2% + 20%)
• Quarterly performance reports
• Ability to scale up to higher tiers as your investment grows

Think of it as getting into Renaissance at ground floor, before they closed the door.

Different universe entirely:

S&P 500 Index:
• Historical return: ~10% annually
• Max drawdown: -50%+ in crashes
• Fees: 0.03-0.09%
• Strategy: Buy and hold everything

Quant Lucid:
• Target return: 60-100% annually
• Max drawdown: <6% (target)
• Fees: 2% + 20%
• Strategy: Active quant with ML signals

We're not trying to match the index. We're trying to beat it by 6-10x with better risk control.
