These days many company at Forex try to attract capitals by promising their clients hundred-per-cent income almost every month. The head of “Nordhill Capital” fund Maksim Sepp finds such proposals unreal. In his opinion, even if someone tries to reach such high results, the risks will be too high to expect stable profit. “Nordhill Capital”, in the first place, provide safeguard of invested means, thus maximally limiting the risks. However, the fund guarantees profit amounting to 40-100% per year.
Maksim Sepp has shared some conditions, provided for investors, with readers of the “Market Leader”.
Risk Control in “Nordhill Capital”
According to Maksim Sepp, stop loss levels, applied for every order specifically, as well as for an investor’s account in general, are the main instruments for risk control in “Nordhill Capital”. If maximally accepted level of loss is reached, all offers on the account will be automatically closed, and trade stopped. Therefore, there appears reliable guarantee from loss of entire capital, which allows a client of “Nordhill Capital” fund either to withdraw his means, or return the lost money and get profit during further orders.
“By all means, such situation is unlikely,” claims Maksim Sepp, “the point is that we never load the deposit to one hundred percent. Usually, no more than 10-20% of capital is used. So in case of failed transactions the major part of money means remains untouched. We suppose that our claimed risk of up to 40% is a critical level when trade needs to be stopped."
Another important point: “Nordhill Capital” fund has very cautious approach to trade of correlated pairs. For example, EUR/USD and USD/CHF currency pairs correlate with one another, as American dollar is involved in both cases. When dealing with such, specialists find it unacceptable to open orders, which suppose growth (or decline) of exchange rate of the same currency in various instruments, as any strong movement of quotations can lead to very big losses.
“Nordhill Capital” fund also cares about safeguard of means, not involved in open deals. The clients’ money is kept on segregated accounts of broker companies, chosen by investors. This means that investors’ capitals are separated from means that belong to the company, and nobody can use them for other agendas. Even if the company goes bankrupt, creditors will not have the right to pay off their losses by means of your deposits.
Additional guarantee of safety is provided by regulation of the fund’s activity by holding annual audit. What is more, “Nordhill Capital” works in close partnership with a large Swiss bank “Swissquote”, which is a provider of liquidity to the fund. By the way, besides trading accounts clients of “Nordhill Capital” can open an account in this bank.
Advantages of “Nordhill Capital” Strategy
“Nordhill Capital” works exclusively with STP-brokers, which do not take any risks and do not make any actions against their clients. All offers are recorded on clearing accounts, opened in providers of liquidity. This means that “Nordhill Capital” fund provides exclusively market fulfillment of orders at real quotations and in real time. Clients of the fund can rerequest reports that prove this fact.
Nevertheless, Maksim Sepp supposes high professionalism of traders that manage over capitals of “Nordhill Capital” clients to be the main advantage of the company.
“Trading transactions of the fund are managed by my friend and colleague Arthur Berzinsh,” explains Maksim, “he has created truly reliable systems, which have shown stable trade for many years. Frankly speaking, Arthur is our main advantage! If to speak about the situation in general, our advantage lies in stability of results. We do not have the goal to “make” 100% per month. We approach the process of risk control very seriously. Our goal is to make 40-100% per year at risks amounting to 10-40%. Also, unlike most of our rivals, we do not hide our results. We have open statistics on “Myfxbook” web site. On request we also give access to our accounts, so that potential clients could make sure in reality of our trading systems.”
Let us remind that the head of “Nordhill Capital” fund Maksim Sepp was born in Tallin, graduated from a local university, and worked in one of Estonian large banks. His activity was closely connected with financial markets. Seeing its problems and unused opportunities, in due time Maksim has put forward an idea to create his own fund, which would give investors maximal comfort and safety. Before “Nordhill Capital” appeared at the market, Maksim has managed to familiarize in financial environment, make many useful acquaintances, and gain enough knowledge and experience. As a result, there has been created a fund, the very first concern of which was investors’ service. “Nordhill Capital” has been successfully working at the market for over two years, actively expanding geography of its presence. Thus, there has recently started expansion to Asian market. Particularly, a representative office will be opened in China. Office in Singapore already works.
What will “Nordhill Capital” offer investors next year? Will the fund please them with new, even more effective products?
“We constantly work on improvement and development of new trading systems,” says Maksim Sepp, “the nearest future we will launch a new product, which will certainly attract conservative investors. Promotion at the world market will strengthen financial condition of the fund, which will become additional guarantee of reliability for our clients. Besides Asian, us are interested Middle-East and Latin-American markets.”
To finish our talk, we have asked Maksim about his recommendations to investors that want to make a profitable investment at Forex market. What mistakes should they avoid in the first place?
“Most investors choose investment products only judging by current profitability, without paying any attention to risks.This is absolutely wrong!” claims Maksim Sepp, “there are no wonders at financial markets. If you meet a trader that offers you a stable 30% profit per month, I can say for sure that such trader will lose your deposit or its considerable part during the first three months of work. The point is that if you earn 30% per month, your trading system presupposes very high risks. Sooner or later (usually sooner) such systems fail, thus bringing investors a considerable loss. This is the reason why there are so many people that have lost their deposit at Forex market and now call it a fraud. My advice to you: never run after high profit. Instead, always regard the correlation of potential profit and risk.”
