4. Our Business Divisions and Brands: Not Separate Legal Entities

This Site makes reference to “Alphaxis Strategies”, “Alphaxis Labs”, and “Alphaxis Research”. These are operational and marketing divisions of Alphaxis Partners Ltd. They are descriptive labels used to organise and present the firm’s activities; they are not separate legal entities, incorporated companies, regulated entities, or distinct legal persons. Any reference to these divisions is a reference to the corresponding activities of Alphaxis Partners Ltd. All legal rights, obligations, and liabilities in connection with those activities vest in Alphaxis Partners Ltd.

Similarly, “Cockpit”, “Cockpit by Alphaxis”, and any other named tools, dashboards, or platforms referred to on this Site are proprietary systems operated by and owned by Alphaxis Partners Ltd. They are not independent products, standalone services, or separately regulated activities.

You should obtain independent professional advice before making any investment decision or taking any action in reliance on information from this Site.

6. Risk Warnings

Investment in alternative strategies, hedge funds, and digital asset markets involves substantial risk. You may lose all of your invested capital. Risks include, without limitation:

• Market volatility and adverse price movements;
• Liquidity risk: strategies may be unable to exit positions at intended prices;
• Leverage: amplifies both gains and losses;
• Counterparty and custodial risk, including insolvency of trading venues or custodians;
• Technology and cybersecurity risk;
• Model and algorithm risk (see Section 9);
• Digital asset-specific risks (see Section 10);
• Regulatory change: laws applicable to investment activities may change materially;
• Operational risk including systems failure, human error, and force majeure;
• Concentration risk where strategies are not diversified across sectors, geographies, or instruments;
• Strategy risk: no assurance is given that any strategy will achieve its objectives.

Past performance, whether actual, simulated, or backtested, is not a reliable indicator of future results. Favourable historical performance does not guarantee future profitability.

7. Proprietary Systems and Trade Secrets

Alphaxis Partners has developed, and continues to develop, proprietary trading strategies, quantitative models, algorithms, signal libraries, risk management systems, execution infrastructure, research methodologies, data pipelines, and associated processes (collectively, “Proprietary Systems”). These include, without limitation, tools referred to on this Site such as “Cockpit”, the Alphaxis Research Series, and all strategy frameworks described or referenced on this Site.

The Proprietary Systems constitute confidential information and trade secrets of Alphaxis Partners Ltd, protected under the Trade Secrets (Enforcement, etc.) Regulations 2018 (SI 2018/597), implementing Directive (EU) 2016/943, and under applicable Gibraltar law and common law principles of confidence. The absence of a formal patent, trademark, or copyright registration does not diminish the confidential and proprietary nature of the Proprietary Systems, nor the firm’s rights to enforce protections against misappropriation.

Nothing on this Site discloses, transfers, licences, or grants any rights whatsoever in or to the Proprietary Systems or any component thereof. Access to this Site does not confer any right to reverse-engineer, replicate, copy, reproduce, derive works from, or commercially exploit the Proprietary Systems or any part of them.

8. Intellectual Property

All content on this Site, including text, graphics, logos, design, layout, trademarks, reports, research publications, and all other materials, is owned by or licensed to Alphaxis Partners Ltd and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. The Alphaxis Research Series and all papers, articles, and publications produced under it are copyright works of Alphaxis Partners Ltd.

You may view and download materials solely for your own internal, non-commercial reference. You must not reproduce, redistribute, modify, publish, transmit, create derivative works from, sell, or commercially exploit any content without the prior written consent of Alphaxis Partners Ltd. Systematic or automated extraction of content, including by web scraping, crawlers, bots, or similar means, is strictly prohibited (see also Section 12).

9. Algorithmic and Systematic Strategy Disclosure

Alphaxis employs proprietary quantitative models and systematic investment strategies. The following disclosures apply to all references to algorithmic or model-driven approaches on this Site:

• Quantitative models are constructed using historical market data. Past patterns may not persist and models may fail to perform as expected in unusual, extreme, or unprecedented market environments;
• Models are subject to development, modification, and discontinuation at any time without notice;
• Human oversight: Alphaxis combines algorithmic tools with the professional judgement of experienced investment managers. Alphaxis retains full discretion to deviate from, override, or suspend any model or systematic process at any time. Automated signals and system outputs are inputs to human decision-making; they do not replace it;
• Multiple investment managers may employ similar quantitative approaches, which could result in crowded positioning and amplified losses;
• Execution of model-generated signals is subject to market impact, latency, slippage, and transaction costs not reflected in any backtested or simulated results.

No representation is made that any strategy, model, or algorithm will achieve its stated or implied objective. References to strategy names (e.g. “Flying High”, “Dual MA”, “Opening Range”) are internal designations only and do not imply any particular performance guarantee, risk profile, or regulated status.

10. Digital Asset Risks

Where this Site references digital assets, cryptocurrencies, tokens, or blockchain-based instruments (collectively, “Digital Assets”), the following additional disclosures apply:

• Digital Assets are highly speculative and their value may be extremely volatile. The value may fall to zero;
• Digital Assets are not legal tender and are not backed by any government or central authority;
• FSCS and FOS: Digital Assets and services related to Digital Assets are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) or the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). You will have no recourse to these schemes in respect of any loss;
• The regulatory classification of Digital Assets varies by jurisdiction and may change. Assets currently treated as non-securities may be reclassified, materially affecting their tradability and value;
• Technology risks include smart contract vulnerabilities, protocol failures, forks, and loss of access due to key management failures;
• Exchange, custodian, and counterparty insolvency risk is material in digital asset markets, as demonstrated by multiple high-profile failures in recent years;
• Market infrastructure for Digital Assets is less mature than traditional financial markets and may be subject to manipulation, illiquidity, and settlement failures.

References to Digital Asset trading activities on this Site are for informational purposes only and do not constitute advice or an inducement to invest in Digital Assets.

11. Performance Information: Past, Projected, Backtested, and Illustrative

This Site may contain references to performance metrics, returns, Sharpe ratios, drawdown figures, and other investment statistics. The following applies to all such references:

• Past performance: Historical returns are not indicative of future results. Past performance, including actual track records, should not be relied upon as a basis for any investment decision;
• Projected and forward-looking performance: Any projections, targets, estimates, or forward-looking statements reflect current assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially. Projections are not promises and must not be treated as such;
• Backtested and simulated performance: Results shown as backtested, simulated, or hypothetical were derived by the retroactive application of a strategy to historical data. Such results have many inherent limitations: they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight; they do not represent actual trading; they do not reflect the impact of material economic and market factors; and they may over-state performance relative to what would have been achieved in real trading conditions. No representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve results similar to those shown;
• Illustrative metrics:Certain metrics shown on this Site (including those displayed in demonstration dashboards or tools) are clearly labelled as “illustrative” or “representative only”. They are not drawn from any live account and should not be relied upon.

Fees, charges, and expenses reduce investment returns. Any performance figures shown may not account for all applicable costs.
