Explainers
The same questions, answered once and answered well.
Why NAV Matters More Than Balance
Balance answers "how much is in the account." NAV per unit answers "how good is the fund." They are different questions, and confusing them is the most common mistake investors make.
Why New Investors Don't Dilute Existing Ones
You own 10% of a fund. A new investor arrives with twice your money. Does your slice get diluted? No - and the reason why is the difference between a fund and a company.
What Is First-Loss Capital
Every fund claims its interests are aligned with yours. Alignment is easy to say and hard to verify. First-loss capital is what that promise looks like once it's written into the accounting - the manager loses first, by structure, not by character.
Why We Pay To Lose Less
Everyone wants protection. Nobody wants to pay for it. Those turn out to be the same thing. This is the honest trade - give up a little upside in calm markets to avoid the kind of drawdown you don't come back from.
Why We Don't Predict Markets
Every fund sells you a market view. Forecasts are opinions about the future; conditions are facts about the present. We don't predict the storm - we read the barometer and dress for it.
Where Return Actually Comes From
Ask most funds where the return comes from and you get a shrug called "proprietary" or a word that means nothing - "alpha." Here's the honest answer: a stack of small, measurable edges, and not a black box in sight.
