First-Loss Alignment. Simple Rules. Data-Driven.
Baseline objective: match S&P 500 (or your composite) with a 30% Options Sleeve + 70% Treasuries—then deploy extra cash on drawdowns to amplify recoveries. Founder contributes $1,000,000 first-loss capital. No mgmt fee. Transparent hurdle & carry.
Starting Capital & Roles
- Options calibrated so 30/70 ≈ market before any dip-buys
- Thresholds (e.g., 10/20/30/40/50%) deploy cash cumulatively
- Rebalance options to 30% monthly (toggle)
- All charts are interactive with detailed tooltips
Why Invest (Friends & Family)
Alignment
Founder’s $1M first-loss covers the first 10% annual loss (until exhausted). GP suffers before LPs do.
Conservative Base
~70% in cash/USTs at configurable APR (default 4%). Compounds while waiting for opportunities.
Systematic & Transparent
Clear rules deploy cash on benchmark drawdowns; fully inspectable backtest + simulator.
Options Expertise
30% Options Sleeve tuned so 30/70 ≈ benchmark at baseline; downside-aware convexity.
No Mgmt Fee
Only 25% carry on profits above a 7% LP hurdle; high-water mark.
Clear Reporting
Equity curve with labeled axes, drawdown, allocations, yearly collapsible results, fills table.
Strategy Overview (30/70)
Baseline: Track the Market with 30/70
The Options Sleeve is calibrated so 30% options + 70% T-Bills approximates the chosen benchmark’s return on average (before any dip-buys). That keeps most capital in Treasuries while matching market drift.
When the benchmark falls from its rolling ATH by d%, the cumulative target deployed from cash equals d% of the original 70% cash. Deploy only when crossing new thresholds (e.g., 10/20/30/40/50%); hold through recovery.
Parametric Options Model
Ropt = α + β·Rmkt + γ·min(0, Rmkt) (monthly).
- α (premium drift), default 0.004/month
- γ (downside convexity), default −0.15
- β auto-fit in “Match Benchmark” mode to minimize 30/70 tracking error.
Backtest & Simulator
Offline, monthly step. Defaults include synthetic but regime-realistic monthly series for SPY, QQQ, IWM, TLT (2000–2024). Upload CSV to override.

Fees & First-Loss Economics
Waterfall (Annual)
- First-Loss: First 10% annual loss on HWM NAV is absorbed by GP’s $1M (until exhausted).
- No Management Fee
- Performance Fee: 25% of profits above a 7% LP hurdle, with high-water mark.
Calculator
Examples
- Down 8%: GP absorbs entirely; LPs flat; no fees.
- Up 6%: Below 7% hurdle; no fees.
- Up 18%: First 7% to LPs; remaining 11% × 25% = 2.75% fee; remainder to LPs. HWM updated.
Risks & What Could Go Wrong
- No deep pullbacks: Strategy may lag in straight-line bull markets if thresholds never trigger.
- Prolonged bears: After final threshold, dry powder is spent; you ride the cycle until recovery.
- Options sleeve model risk: α/β/γ mis-specification or volatility spikes can hurt at the wrong time.
- Execution/slippage: Real-world frictions around rebalancing and fills in stressed markets.
- Leverage (if enabled): Amplifies both gains and losses; default is OFF.

Methodology (Formulas & Notes)
Time step: monthly. Treasury monthly rate rm = (1+APR)^(1/12) − 1.
Composite: weighted sum of selected tickers’ monthly returns; rolling ATH & drawdown DD = 1 − Index/ATH.
Buy-the-dip: when DD crosses threshold T, cumulative equity target equals T% of original cash (70% of start NAV). Invest additional to reach that target; hold through recovery.
Options model: monthly Ropt=α+βRmkt+γ·min(0,Rmkt). “Match Benchmark” solves β by least-squares minimizing 0.7·rrf+0.3·Ropt − Rmkt over the backtest range (no DIP flows).
Rebalance: if ON, set Options to 30% of current NAV at month-end (cash ↔ options).
Metrics: CAGR, vol (σa=σm√12), Sharpe=(CAGR−APR)/σa, Sortino uses downside σ vs rf, MaxDD over NAV, Ulcer=RMS(drawdowns). Upside/Downside capture vs composite.
Forward sim: Bootstrap (sample monthly returns) or GBM with μ/σ from composite. Scenario paths. S&P lines use deterministic CAGR (7/10/12/15%).
Fees/HWM: Annual. First 10% loss absorbed by GP first-loss. 25% carry on profits above 7% hurdle, HWM gates fees to only new net profits.
