Services offered
3.1
Quant Invest
Quant Invest is an automated cryptocurrency investment solution optimized for a long-term investment horizon. It is accessible to individual investors with a minimum capital of $5,000. Scale-In has fully developed its algorithm in a secure and isolated environment to ensure maximum safety.
a) Principles of the Quant Invest algorithm
Transaction types: The algorithm executes only spot buy and sell orders, without leveraging.
Asset allocation: The algorithm follows a strategic allocation across three asset classes:
70% in Bitcoin (BTC).
20% in Ethereum (ETH).
10% in a selection of two altcoins.
Goals and strategies: This allocation is designed to diversify the portfolio while maximizing stability through a majority exposure to high-cap assets. The selection of the two altcoins is determined by market conditions and opportunities identified by the algorithm.
Time horizon: The algorithm is built for long-term investment (4 to 5 years minimum), optimizing returns based on cryptocurrency market evolution while minimizing risks.
Exchange connection:
Clients can connect their Scale-In account to one of the following exchanges: Binance, Bybit, Kucoin, OKX, Kraken, Dydx, or Hyperliquid.
The algorithm becomes operational once the client synchronizes their Scale-In account with the exchange of their choice (via a secure API).
Deposit options:
Clients can deposit funds in USDC or USDT, depending on their preference.
Clients retain full responsibility for hosting their funds, whether on a personal hardware wallet or via a trusted third party (centralized exchange).
Withdrawals and deposit management:
Clients can withdraw funds at any time. Scale-In never has access to client funds.
For new deposits to be considered, annual management fees must be paid by credit card via the client dashboard.
Outperformance fees: These are calculated on realized performance, taking into account all deposits and withdrawals made during the period.
b) Payment terms
Subscription to Quant Invest is for a fixed duration of one year, automatically renewable at the end of each period, subject to payment of annual management fees.
Clients are notified by email 15 days before the renewal date to remind them of the deadline and avoid service interruptions.
Annual management fees are payable in a single payment by credit card at the time of subscription.
Management fees also apply to any new deposits made during the year, calculated as a percentage of the total deposited capital.
Performance fees are calculated and payable semi-annually by credit card based on realized performance, as outlined below.
Clients receive a notification by email 15 days before the scheduled deduction of performance fees, including detailed calculations and the amount due.
Our prices are fixed and non-negotiable during their validity period. Scale-In reserves the right to modify the prices at any time outside of this validity period.
Our prices are quoted in euros excluding taxes. The applicable VAT is added in accordance with current legislation.
An invoice is automatically sent by email to our clients at the address provided during subscription. The client must verify that this address is correct to receive the necessary information.
In the event of non-payment (declined or unpaid transactions), the client’s account will be suspended after a 14-day grace period. Reactivation will occur once full payment is received.
c) Annual management fees
Annual management fees are calculated on the total invested capital based on the following rate schedule:
Investment capital | Annual management fees |
|---|---|
From 5,000 $ to 9,999 $ | 5.0% |
From 10,000 $ to 19,999 $ | 4.5% |
From 20,000 $ to 49,999 $ | 4.0% |
From 50,000 $ to 99,999 $ | 3.5% |
From 100,000 $ to 199,999 $ | 3.0% |
From 200,000 $ to 499,999 $ | 2.5% |
More than 500,000 $ | 2.0% |
d) Ourperformance fees
A performance fee of 20% applies semi-annually if the total performance reaches or exceeds 12.5%. These fees are calculated on total profits, including gains from closed positions and the value of open positions at the time of calculation. They are automatically charged via credit card and detailed on the client dashboard.
It is important to note that the performance fees are calculated on a capital expressed in dollars (USD). At the time of payment, these fees will be converted into euros(EUR) using the real-time exchange rate via the API available on xe.com
Examples:
Client A invests $10,000:
Value at the end of the semester: $12,500
Performance: 25% (profit of $2,500)
Outperformance fee: 20% × $2,500 = $500 (payable to Scale-In).
Client B invests $100,000:
Value at the end of the semester: $120,000
Performance: 20% (profit of $20,000)
Outperformance fee: 20% × $20,000 = $4,000 (payable to Scale-In).
