What Arcus Does
Arcus Quant Fund manages client capital through algorithmic trading strategies across cryptocurrency perpetual futures and equity markets. Every strategy is developed through rigorous backtesting, walk-forward validation, and Monte Carlo simulation before deployment with real capital.
We operate on a performance-fee-only model — we earn nothing unless your account grows. Capital stays in your own brokerage or exchange account at all times; we access it only through trade-execution API keys that have no withdrawal permissions.
Currently in pilot phase with live capital deployed, targeting $150-200k AUM across 3-5 clients by mid-2026.
