EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

SMARTER INVESTMENTS

Page 2: Richfox Capital Executive Summary

copula density (probability theory)

In the past three years, our flagship strategy has delivered five times the returns of its benchmark. We can proudly claim that such a performance can compete with the world‘s most esteemed funds. While I am sure most of you would love to know how, all that really matters is driven by why.

In Richfox, we are united in a belief there is more to finance than quick profits. There are important truths about us and even beauty to be found in the fascinating complexity of markets, this marvelous mirror of the world’s stage and myriads of human interactions, which has so far defied any attempts to reliably depict its inner mechanics. It is in our nature, our very hearts, to conquer the unknown, to explore, to seek knowledge, understanding and discover order and harmony in this seemingly chaotic universe. This ultimate purpose, this need to know, fuels our passion that presents the true secret of our performance. In a nutshell, “Rich” in Richfox was never meant to be solely about material wealth.

That is also why I committed myself in 2015 to dedicate most of the profits I shall receive as the majority shareholder to set up the Richfox Foundation to support exceptional scientific talents in the region on their paths to move humankind forward. I very deeply care about this project and with your help, we will succeed.

We believe in finance that is intelligent and ethical as much as caring and responsible. As foxes, we outsmart any bull or bear and we don’t dance with wolves. If you belong to our species, welcome to the family.

BEATING THE ODDSL O V I N G T H E J O U R N E Y

In early 2013, we started building Richfox with a strong vision, a passion for finance and with very little AUM comprised mostly of our own savings, as the first pioneers in quantitative investing in the region. There were many voices eagerly forecasting our inevitable demise. You are too small, too young and too fragile, they said.

Only a few understood that we started small not because we necessarily had to, but because we felt it to be intellectually and morally honest to prove the concept on our own savings before risking capital of anyone else, and because we treasured our independence that enabled us to pursue benefit of all our investors alike. We smiled and kept working hard.

And here we are, almost four years later, bigger and stronger than ever. Along the road, we delivered performance comparable to the world’s best, built strong partnerships and established a great family of happy investors. We still very much love our journey and we take great pride in uniting exceptional minds under the common banner of building the better world of finance.

From time to time, we still hear those voices. You are too alternative, too difficult to understand, too outlandish, doomed to fail in the end, they say. We smile and keep working hard.

Thanks to his background in psychology and neuroscience, Caslav understands better than most the stresses that any discretionary trader must withstand, thus making him more resilient to such pressures. However, that is also why through his almost 20 years of successful trading, he has employed a thorough, systematic approach to different asset classes with emphasis on neural signal detection and machine learning rather than purely discretionary trading style.
