Our Principles
What Defines Blackworks Capital
Systematic Discipline
When a security hits a pre-set maximum loss threshold, the algorithm sells — without hesitation, without committee approval, without negotiation. No human override exists. Every entry, exit, and hedge is governed by backtested, rules-based logic that executes the same way whether markets are calm or in freefall.
Radical Transparency
Every month, investors receive a letter explaining exactly which models fired, which strategies engaged, and why. When the system sits out a rally because signals don't confirm, we say so — and explain the logic. You speak directly with the Founder and Fund Manager, not a sales desk. Transparency is not a reporting feature. It is how we operate.
Partnership Alignment
The Founder's capital is invested in the Fund under identical terms, identical risk exposure, and identical drawdowns as every limited partner. No side pockets. No preferential redemption. Every loss an investor faces, the Founder faces alongside them. Alignment is not a talking point — it is a structural commitment built into the Fund from day one.
