I see you are an offshore company, why?
Correct, we are set up as an offshore company. When we incorporated, we had two choices, incorporate onshore, or offshore. After a full review, we decided to incorporate offshore, which was mainly so our trading strategy wasn't hampered or exposed to UK compliance interference, and also due to the want of some of our clients to have offshore banking options.
Union, who are they? I see they operate your reporting and back office.
We understand the need for total transparency, especially in this day and age where there are many companies out there claiming they make excellent returns with little risk or alike, but they are rarely able to prove that, or prove it via a credible outlet. We also wanted our clients to feel comfortable that the returns, trades and results they are seeing are 100% true and accurate, and that’s why from the outset we decided to select Union as our 3rd party audit, risk, and CRM partner.
We could have taken the KPMG route, but typically that audit process happens yearly and is slow, by using Union, we are audited every time we trade, and thus you can be sure of true and transparent reporting 24/7.
We not only use Union for the above, they also provide our client back office set up (what you use and see when you log in), and they publish all of our trades and returns, meaning whenever you see trades, returns or statistics, they are always true and accurate, and collected and published by a 3rd party live, 24/7.
