Frequently Asked Questions

Quant Lucid is an AI-powered quantitative investment fund that uses advanced machine learning algorithms to trade financial markets. Inspired by Jim Simons' Renaissance Technologies, we combine mathematics, data science, and cutting-edge AI to generate superior risk-adjusted returns. We're 100% algorithm-driven with zero human emotion in our trading decisions.

We're currently building our waitlist (limited to 1,000 investors). Join the waitlist at quantlucid.com/waitlist. When we launch (pending SEC registration), waitlist members get priority access in order of signup. You'll need to be an accredited investor and meet our $100,000 minimum investment.

$100,000 minimum. This is significantly lower than other elite quant funds (Two Sigma requires $25M+, DE Shaw requires $10M+). We're making world-class quantitative strategies accessible to more investors while maintaining the exclusivity needed to preserve our edge.

Yes. To invest in Quant Lucid, you must meet SEC accredited investor requirements: (1) $200,000+ annual income ($300K joint), OR (2) $1M+ net worth (excluding primary residence), OR (3) hold Series 7, 65, or 82 licenses. We'll verify status before accepting investments.

Standard hedge fund structure: 2% management fee (annual) and 20% performance fee (on profits only). This is competitive with industry standards and significantly lower than Renaissance Technologies (5% management, 44% performance). You keep 80% of all profits after the 2% annual management fee.

Our target performance: 60-100% annual returns with a 5.4+ Sharpe ratio and controlled drawdowns under 6%. However, past performance does not guarantee future results. All investments involve risk of loss. Our goal is to consistently outperform the market through algorithmic trading, but we cannot promise specific returns.

Target performance: Quant Lucid 60-100% annual returns vs S&P 500 historical ~10% annually. That's 6-10x market outperformance. While the S&P 500 is a great passive investment, quantitative strategies aim to generate alpha through systematic pattern recognition and algorithmic execution.

Current Sharpe ratio: 0.47. This measures risk-adjusted returns. A Sharpe above 0.4 is considered good; above 0.6 is excellent. We aim to maximize returns while managing risk through diversification, position sizing, and stop-losses built into our algorithms.

We use multiple AI models (LSTM neural networks, XGBoost, Random Forest, and ensemble methods) to identify trading opportunities. Our algorithms analyze millions of data points across price action, volume, momentum, and statistical patterns. Every trade requires consensus from multiple models before execution. We're 100% systematic – no human discretion in trading decisions.

Primarily US equities (stocks and ETFs) including QQQ, SPY, NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, and other liquid securities. We focus on high-liquidity instruments where our algorithms can identify statistically significant patterns. We trade both long and short positions based on model predictions.

Average 3-4 trades per day (847 total trades YTD). We're not day-trading every minute – we hold positions for days or weeks when our models indicate strong probability of continued movement. Our algorithms prioritize quality over quantity, only executing when confidence thresholds are met.

No. All trading decisions are made by algorithms. Humans design the models, backtest strategies, and monitor performance – but once deployed, our AI models execute trades automatically. This removes emotion, bias, and human error from the equation. Like Renaissance Technologies, we trust mathematics over intuition.

Every position has automated stop-losses. If a trade moves against us beyond pre-defined risk parameters, the algorithm automatically exits. Our 94% win rate shows our models are accurate, but when we're wrong, we cut losses quickly. Risk management is built into every algorithm.

We're currently completing SEC registration (estimated Q1 2026 launch). Join the waitlist NOW to secure your spot. When we launch, we'll contact waitlist members in order of signup. The waitlist is limited to 1,000 people – when full, it closes forever.

Quarterly redemptions with 60 days notice. This is standard for hedge funds and allows us to manage positions effectively. You can request withdrawals at quarter-end (March, June, September, December). Emergency redemptions may be available on a case-by-case basis.

You'll get access to our investor portal with real-time NAV updates, monthly performance reports, quarterly statements, and annual tax documents (K-1). You can also view live performance on our public dashboard (anonymized, aggregated data).

Delaware LLC structure (common for hedge funds). You'll receive partnership interest upon investment. We'll provide all legal documents including PPM (Private Placement Memorandum), Operating Agreement, and subscription documents. All investments are held at a qualified custodian for security.

Assets are held at institutional-grade custodians (similar to how your brokerage account works). While investments aren't FDIC-insured (no investment is), your securities are protected by SIPC coverage at the custodian level. However, all investments involve risk of loss – market performance determines returns.

Accessibility: Two Sigma requires $25M minimum. We start at $100K.
Performance: Our target returns (60-100% annually) are competitive with the best quant funds.
Transparency: Most quant funds are black boxes. We show live performance.
Opportunity: Early investors in Renaissance, Two Sigma, and DE Shaw made generational wealth. We're that opportunity today.

100% algorithmic. Traditional funds rely on human analysts reading balance sheets and making subjective decisions. We use AI models processing millions of data points. No emotion. No bias. Pure mathematics. Jim Simons proved this approach can generate 3x higher returns than traditional methods.

Scarcity preserves alpha. When strategies scale infinitely, they stop working. Renaissance Medallion closed to outside investors to protect their edge. We're limiting to 1,000 investors to maintain performance while still growing. Quality over quantity.

Join NOW at quantlucid.com/waitlist. The waitlist is filling fast (847 spots remaining of 1,000). When full, it closes permanently. We'll never accept more than 1,000 investors total. First come, first served for priority access when we launch.
