The Methodology
Two return streams. One combined yield.
1. Base Yield
Generated from low-risk traditional income-producing instruments such as: U.S. Treasury bills, Money market funds, Repo and fixed-income instruments, Staking and treasury yield.
Provides stable and predictable income.
2. TL AlphaEngine
Generated through proprietary AI-driven systematic trading. Operates across highly liquid institutional markets. Designed with strict drawdown limits and automated risk controls.
Generates incremental alpha and enhances total yield.
Only 3–5% of capital is posted as margin to the AlphaEngine, but the trading exposure it controls — and the P&L it generates — is sized against the entire portfolio. The sleeve is just the risk budget; the return is on the whole book.
Performance Scenarios
Good year, flat year, bad year — how principal stays protected
The structure is engineered around one rule: in any 12-month window, the Base Yield earned by Stream A must be large enough to absorb the maximum drawdown of the AlphaEngine sleeve. That's what makes principal structural — not a promise, arithmetic.
The scenarios below are illustrative targets, not guaranteed outcomes.
Regular AlphaEngine year
Both streams contribute fully. Combined return lands at, or above, the headline target.
Base + Alpha → at or above target
Flat AlphaEngine year
AlphaEngine returns roughly zero. Stream A still earns its full Base Yield on the bulk of capital.
≈ Base Yield only
Bad AlphaEngine year
AlphaEngine hits its hard drawdown cap. Base Yield is sized to fully offset it → principal preserved.
Loss < Base Yield · capped by design
Structural protection holds at the 12-month portfolio level. Intra-period mark-to-market on the sleeve will fluctuate.
Horizon & Liquidity
Designed for 12+ months · redeemable any day · daily P&L
12-month design horizon
Headline returns and structural principal protection are engineered over a rolling 12-month window. Base Yield is sized to absorb a worst-case AlphaEngine drawdown over that period.
Daily redemption, no lock-up
Capital is never locked. Redeem any day from your own custody — Stream A unwinds at market, Stream B closes at the CME mark.
