[SBRAND] doesn’t condone money laundering and endorses the fight against money launderers. [SBRAND] follows the guidelines set by MONEYVAL (Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures). MONEYVAL is a permanent monitoring mechanism of the Council of Europe, a pan-European organisation with 47 member states, reporting directly to its principal organ, the Committee of Ministers. MONEYVAL is entrusted with the task of assessing compliance with the principal international standards to counter money laundering and the financing of terrorism and the effectiveness of their implementation, as well as with the task of making recommendations to national authorities in respect of necessary improvements to their systems. MONEYVAL also conducts thematic typologies research of money laundering and terrorist financing methods, trends and techniques. MONEYVAL was originally an observer to the FATF and from June 2006 became an associate member.
[SBRAND] now has policies in place to dissuade people from laundering money. These policies include:
Money Laundering usually follows three stages:
A. Firstly, cash or cash equivalents are put into the financial system. Secondly, money is transferred or moved to other accounts (e.g. futures accounts) through a series of financial transactions made to obscure the source of the money (e.g. executing trades with little or no financial risk or transferring account balances to other accounts). And finally, the funds are re-introduced into the economy so that the funds appear to have come from legal sources (e.g. closing a futures account and transferring the funds to a bank account).
B. Trading accounts are one vehicle that can be used to launder illicit funds or to hide the true owner of the funds. In particular, a trading account can be used to execute financial transactions that help complicate tracing the sources of the funds. [SBRAND] directs fund withdrawals back to the original source of remittance, as a preventative measure. International Anti-Money Laundering demands financial services institutions to be aware of potential money laundering abuses that could happen in a customer account and implement a compliance program to dissuade, detect and report potentially suspicious activity. These guidelines have been enacted to protect [SBRAND] and its clients.

In order for [SBRAND]’s team to process all your withdrawal requests in a timely manner, traders are required to comply with the KYC identification process. It’s compulsory for traders to submit all required documents and additional information to safely and accurately process their funds back to them.
Withdrawal requests are generally handled by [SBRAND] within 4-7 business days of receipt. Nevertheless, the amount of time that it takes for withdrawals to be processed back to traders as refunds may vary in regard to traders’ compliance, withdrawal methods and due to any additional security policies in force. Clients are advised to regularly follow up with their respective bank independently.
Refund requests can only be processed in the same method through which the initial deposit was made. That is, if you deposit funds in your account balance via a credit/debit card, you’ll be able to extract your funds in the same manner. Likewise, if you initially deposited funds through a bank wire transfer, you will be able to retrieve your refunds solely through a bank wire transfer.
Feel free to get in touch with our support team for any queries regarding your withdrawal requests.

Automatically, the hedge fund manager collects a 2% fee, leaving $98 dollars to be invested in any asset class, such as stocks, bonds, and/ or commodities. In this example specifically, the investment was profitable and it brought in a return of $110 dollars. A 20% fee is taken out of the hedge fund as an incentive fee, which comes out of any profits generated. Therefore, we have a total of $12, at $2.4. This leaves $107.6 dollars, rounded up to $108 in this example, and this is to be returned to the investor.
For a while now, the 2/20 structure has been considered to be the more traditional model used. Even so, hedge fund managers are facing high levels of pressure to reduce these fees. Back in 2019, Preqin observed marginal decreases in the industry’s fee structure, which reduced the average management fee to 1.50% and the performance fee to 19%. To ensure performance fees are not preemptively taken, which could trigger investors to exercise a claw-back provision, a hurdle rate and/or high-water mark can be set in place.
Why lock-up periods are important is because they give the fund managers time to exit investments that they don’t want to proceed in, whether it’s because of illiquidity or having an unbalanced portfolio of investments.
To ensure that a hedge fund lock-up gives the investor enough time to exit an investment without driving the prices against their overall portfolio, this kind of lock-up typically lasts 30-90 days and it varies according to the underlying investment of each fund.
Usually, for long/short funds that are invested in any liquid stock, the lock-up period is 1 month. On the other hand, hedge funds are more thinly traded securities, such as distressed loans or other forms of debt, and their lock-up period is longer. Some hedge funds may have no lockup period at all depending on the structure of the fund’s investments.
Investors have the freedom to redeem their shares after the lock-up period ends in accordance with the previously set schedule, which usually happens to be quarterly. As mentioned above, we may give a period between 30 to 90 days notice so that the fund manager has enough time to liquidate their underlying securities and allow the payment to go smoothly to the investors.
A hedge fund has the freedom to offer a substantial discount to investors who are willing to lock up their investments with the company for a specified time period, such as 6 months, or 1 year. To generate a significant ROI, hedge funds try to apply this method, to allow the investments that require a long period of time to get the time they need. In return for the client’s longer lock-up period, the hedge fund grants them a reduced fee structure. With [SBRAND], we give up to 5% as a fee.
