1. Nature of our service
Bostock Capitals provides discretionary investment management to qualifying clients through individually-held managed accounts at third-party regulated brokers. We do not hold client cash. We are not a bank, broker-dealer, custodian, insurance company, or deposit-taking institution. Our authority over your account is limited to placing trades and is granted by you and revocable by you at any time.
2. General risks of investing
All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. The value of any investment can go down as well as up. There is no guarantee that any investment strategy will achieve its objective, generate positive returns, or avoid losses.
3. Leverage and margin risk
Many of the products we trade involve leverage. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. It is possible to lose more than you initially invested in a leveraged position, and your broker may require additional funds (a margin call) to maintain a position. We size positions to limit this risk, but we cannot eliminate it.
4. Risks specific to crypto trading
Digital-asset markets operate twenty-four hours a day and can experience sudden volatility driven by central-bank decisions, political events, or macroeconomic data releases. Liquidity can evaporate during overnight sessions or holiday periods. Currency pairs involving emerging-market currencies carry additional country, capital-control, and convertibility risk.
5. Risks specific to digital assets
Digital-asset markets trade continuously, can move sharply, and remain a relatively young asset class. Digital assets are not covered by any deposit-insurance scheme, including (but not limited to) FDIC or SIPC. Custodial risk at exchanges is real and has historically resulted in client losses at major venues. Regulatory frameworks for digital assets vary substantially by jurisdiction and are evolving.
6. Risks of systematic and algorithmic strategies
Our strategies are systematic. They rely on quantitative models that, by definition, are calibrated to historical data. Past relationships between market variables can and do change. Models may underperform when market behaviour diverges from the conditions in which they were developed. Technology and connectivity failures, although mitigated by redundant systems, can affect execution.
7. Counterparty and operational risk
Your assets are held at third-party brokers that we do not own or control. The financial soundness, technology stability, and regulatory standing of those institutions is a risk you accept when selecting them. We require all client-side brokers to be regulated in a jurisdiction with active supervisory oversight, but we do not guarantee their solvency or conduct.
8. Past performance and projections
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Any historical figures, back-tested results, or hypothetical scenarios we share are for illustrative purposes only and have inherent limitations. Back-tested results in particular do not reflect actual trading or the impact of liquidity, slippage, and behavioural reactions to drawdowns that affect real portfolios. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
9. Suitability
Investing through Bostock Capitals is not suitable for every investor. You should only commit capital that you can afford to lose. Before investing you should consider your financial position, investment objectives, tax situation, and tolerance for loss. We strongly recommend you consult an independent financial adviser, tax professional, or legal counsel before opening a managed account with us.
10. Jurisdictional limits
Our services are not offered in every country and may be subject to local restrictions. By using this site you confirm you are accessing it from a jurisdiction where the activities described are lawful. Nothing on this site constitutes an offer or solicitation to any person in any jurisdiction where such an offer or solicitation is not permitted.
11. How to contact us about risk
If anything on this page is unclear, or if you would like to discuss how the risks above apply to your specific situation, please contact our investor relations team at ir@bostockcapitals.com or via the Request a Call form. We would rather have a longer conversation up front than a difficult one later.
