Flameback Capital USA is a registered investment adviser that provides automated, algorithm-based portfolio management delivered entirely through our website. After you complete a short Investor Profile Questionnaire, our platform assigns you a risk profile and recommends a portfolio built from our systematic investment strategies.

Yes — we are a registered investment adviser (CRD No. 329123). Registration does not imply that the SEC or any state has approved or endorsed our services; it means we are subject to regulatory oversight and a fiduciary duty to act in your best interest.

Algorithmic Trading is the process of using pre-defined rules and mathematical models to make trading decisions.

Systematic investing strategies follow a rule-based decision-making approach and minimise the impact of human emotions and biases, resulting in more consistent and objective decision-making.

We do not rely on manager discretion or predictions. Our team analyses fundamental and market data to identify repeatable patterns, then codifies them into algorithms that trade according to defined rules. Trades are only made outside those rules in rare, exceptional circumstances, such as an ETF delisting or a technical error.

We invest exclusively in exchange-traded funds and exchange-traded products (ETFs/ETPs) listed on U.S. national exchanges, each meeting minimum criteria of at least $100 million in assets and $5 million in average daily trading volume over the trailing 90 calendar days at the time of initial inclusion in a strategy. We do not invest in individual stocks or bonds, options or other derivatives, penny stocks, private funds, single-stock ETFs, leveraged, inverse, or leveraged-inverse ETFs, or margin. Exposure to assets like gold or bitcoin also comes only through ETFs.

Dynamic strategies rebalance weekly or monthly based on momentum and risk-adjusted return signals. Static strategies rebalance quarterly or annually and focus on diversification and downside management. We also offer Hybrid portfolios that blend multiple strategies. Every client is matched to a strategy based on the risk score from their questionnaire.

We offer quantitative investment strategies—structured as Dynamic, Static, and Hybrid models—tailored to your risk profile, asset preferences, and investment amount. Each strategy is built on systematic rules and evaluated using extensive historical backtested performance data.

You grant us discretionary authority, which means trades generated by your strategy execute automatically.

We charge a single advisory fee of 0.90% per year of assets under management (approximately $75/month on a $100,000 portfolio), billed monthly. The advisory fee is Flameback’s sole source of compensation—we do not charge performance fees or receive trading commissions. However, your total cost of investing also includes third-party charges billed separately, including Interactive Brokers execution commissions and transaction fees, as well as the underlying expense ratios of the ETFs held in your account as disclosed in each fund’s prospectus.

$10,000 to open an account.

No. Your funds and securities are held by Interactive Brokers LLC (IBKR), your custodian, in an account in your own name. Flameback never takes custody of client assets — we only send trade instructions to your custodian.

Yes. Investing in ETFs involves market risk, and performance data presented reflects hypothetical backtested results, not actual client trading. Past performance — whether actual or hypothetical — does not predict or guarantee future results. Our strategies are systematic and rules-based, but they cannot predict markets or eliminate the risk of loss. Full risk disclosures are available in our Form ADV Part 2A.

Our quantitative strategies handle portfolio rebalancing, execution, and strategy discipline according to predefined rules—freeing you from manual trading. However, automated process management cannot eliminate investment risk or prevent portfolio losses. You retain full ownership of your account, should routinely review your statements, and must update us if your financial objectives change.

Getting started takes a few minutes: complete the Investor Profile Questionnaire, review your recommended portfolio, and sign the Investment Management Agreement electronically. You can end the relationship anytime with 30 days’ written notice and no penalty — you will only owe fees already earned up to that point.
