Is total loss of invested capital possible?
Yes. Investing in digital-asset derivatives carries a high level of risk and total loss cannot be categorically excluded. The firm’s risk architecture — hard-coded leverage caps (3.0× aggregate ceiling), dynamic volatility scaling, automated stop-losses, and a drawdown-escalation ladder that alerts the trading desk and the Investment Committee — is specifically designed to make catastrophic loss unlikely. But the inherent volatility of the underlying markets, the possibility of an exchange insolvency, a stablecoin depeg, or a black-swan combination of all three, means the worst case is a complete loss of the allocated assets. Allocate only capital you can afford to lose.

What is the “drawdown budget”, and how likely is it to be exceeded?
The drawdown budget (previously called the account’s “target risk”) is the maximum peak-to-trough decline of the account’s gross value that the selected configuration is engineered to stay within — 10 / 20 / 30% for Algotoria Classic Stable, 15 / 25 / 35% for Algotoria Classic Diversified. No drawdown-triggered de-risking is applied by default and none is implemented in the trading software: at two-thirds of the budget the Investment Committee reviews the account and decides case by case whether to reduce risk, and at the full budget the client is notified and elects whether to continue, reduce the budget or stop trading. The budget is an engineering envelope, not a guarantee. Over a three-year horizon the firm estimates the probability of exceeding the full budget at roughly 1 in 5 for Stable (30%) and roughly 1 in 4 for Diversified (35%); exceeding the budget by 10 pp at roughly 1 in 25 / 1 in 20, and by 20 pp at roughly 1 in 200 / 1 in 100 — statistical estimates from the live track record, not limits.

How is drawdown measured, and why does the gross figure differ from the net figure?
The Algotoria risk-monitoring engine measures drawdown every 5 minutes as: Current Margin Balance / Adjusted Max Margin Balance − 1. “Adjusted” means a smoothed peak — a new high is only locked in at the 24-hour minimum that follows it, which stops transient exchange glitches from artificially inflating the reference. All firm risk limits operate on the gross trading-account margin balance, before the quarterly performance fee is deducted. Net-of-fee drawdowns experienced by the investor are larger by construction.

What about stablecoin depeg and issuer risk?
Algotoria Classic Stable holds up to 100% of the portfolio in approved stablecoins, including USDT, USDC, RLUSD, OKUSD and USDG, as primary collateral. These instruments carry depeg risk — they may lose their 1:1 fiat parity due to issuer insolvency, loss of underlying reserves, regulatory intervention or smart-contract failure. In an issuer default or a freeze on circulation, the market value of the stablecoin can collapse and the capital held in it can be lost in full, irrespective of how the trading engine performed. Algotoria Classic Diversified partly mitigates single-issuer concentration but does not eliminate the risk.

What happens in an exchange insolvency or a regulatory action against a venue?
Client assets sit at the exchange in the client’s own account, so an exchange insolvency directly impacts the client. Algotoria selects venues with proof-of-reserves practices and strong regulation, but the residual venue risk is the client’s. If a competent authority takes enforcement action against a supported VASP, the firm will immediately halt algorithmic trading on the affected exchange and, where feasible, assist the client in migrating their SMA to an alternative approved exchange. The firm is not liable for losses arising from regulatory actions against third-party VASPs.

How does Algotoria prepare for black-swan events?
The firm models extreme statistical deviations in price, liquidity and infrastructure connectivity rather than specific geopolitical narratives. The trading logic is back-tested against historical data extending to 2014, including the 2018 liquidity crunch, the March 2020 COVID flash crash, the May 2021 flash crash, the Terra-Luna algorithmic collapse, the November 2022 FTX insolvency and the October 2025 drawdown. Portfolio liquidity is algorithmically capped so the book can be fully unwound within 24 hours while consuming at most 33% of the 30-day average daily volume of each instrument.

How is leverage capped, and what happens if a tier ceiling is breached?
Each Investment Committee–approved risk tier carries hard-coded leverage ceilings and a drawdown budget: average leverage of 33% / 67% / 100% at Conservative / Medium / High, with max leverage capped at 100% / 200% / 300% respectively, and matching drawdown budgets (Stable: 10 / 20 / 30%; Diversified: 15 / 25 / 35%). The leverage ceiling is enforced on the exchange account itself. The drawdown budget is monitored rather than enforced: no drawdown-triggered reduction of exposure is implemented in the software, so if gross drawdown from the most recent peak reaches two-thirds of the budget the Investment Committee reviews the account and decides case by case whether to reduce risk, and if it reaches the full budget the client is notified and elects whether to continue, reduce the budget or stop trading. The Investment Committee may also reduce the operating risk below the selected budget on a discretionary basis in adverse market conditions.
What is the AI / model risk, and how is it bounded?
In the operating layer, AI-assisted workflows handle compliance triage, reporting, customer communications and policy drafting under named human-in-the-loop oversight; every AI artefact is preserved in tenant-level audit logs for at least twelve months. Today’s production trading is deterministic and rules-based — no AI model places orders without explicit Investment Committee sign-off on the underlying sub-strategy logic. The firm additionally researches machine-learning (neural-network) signal engines as successor strategy generations; these are admitted to live capital only after out-of-sample walk-forward validation, pre-registered forward gates, parallel shadow operation and Investment Committee approval, and they carry specific additional risks (lower interpretability, regime sensitivity, model-refresh risk) disclosed in §7 of the Risk Disclosure Notice. The Board-approved AI Policy is aligned with ISO/IEC 42001 and NIST AI RMF.
