Concept

What is a Hedge Fund and why might it matter to you?

A hedge fund is an investment vehicle where a professional team manages capital pooled from multiple investors with the goal of generating absolute returns, without tying performance to a market benchmark.

Unlike direct trading (where you make every call), here you delegate management. This lets you diversify with strategies that need time, infrastructure or scale an individual trader usually doesn't have.

Direct trading vs Hedge Fund

Direct CFDs / Forex
You open, manage and close every trade. Total control + total responsibility.
Hedge Fund
You subscribe capital to the fund. The manager trades, you watch NAV grow (or drop).
NAV model

How your return is calculated

NAV (Net Asset Value) = value per fund unit. Grows with profits, drops with losses. Transparent, calculated by an independent administrator.

Profits compounded to capital

Profits are reinvested into NAV (compounding). No separate "rewards" balance.

Fee only on new highs

High-Water Mark: performance fee only charged when the fund exceeds its previous historical peak.

Independent administrator and custody

NAV calculation, asset custody and audit aren't done by AP Markets — they're done by independent third parties.

Tiered range

Four profiles, one clear progression

Each tier has its target volatility, horizon and investor profile. Start where you feel comfortable, move up as experience grows.

Holding and redemptions

Clear rules from day one

Hard lock-up

Initial period with no redemptions (varies per fund). Gives the fund stability and you discipline.

Scheduled dates

Redemptions are processed on defined dates (monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly) with notice.

Pro-fund penalty

If you exit during the declining tail after lock-up, the fee stays in the fund (not with AP Markets).

Transparent gates

If redemption demand exceeds the window cap, requests are pro-rated with the calculation published.
