Image Intro text


	Cara Trading Advisors (CTA) is a portfolio management company built on a unique client-centered model in which the company seeks to preserve and grow client assets through active, risk-averse, daily trading in the financial markets. Trading occurs within clients’ own online trading accounts, giving them complete control over, and daily information about, their assets. The company utilizes a team of independent traders, researchers and analysts, and administrative managers to achieve its clients' objectives. CTA is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC and in The Bahamas. Privately owned by trader/statesman Bill Cara, a Canadian who resides in The Bahamas, Cara Trading Advisors was established in 2008.


	The Cara Trading Advisors' international team is comprised of highly experienced traders, researchers, analysts and administrative personnel; each one focused on obtaining outstanding account performance, closely managing risk, and meeting client needs. *Meet the core trading and analysis team*.

Subhead; About the CTA Team

CTA offers two fee structures:

•	Pay only for performance: A performance-based fee of 25% of profit is assessed each month that an account gains value, establishing a “high-water mark” beyond which account value must increase for further fees to be paid. Each monthly increase establishes a new high-water mark. There are no managment fees. US residents must meet certain SEC regulations to qualify for performance-based fees.
•	Asset based fee: An asset-based fee of 3% per annum (less commission costs), accounted for daily and charged monthly. SEC does not permit performance-based fee structure for non-accredited investors.

Full fee structure details are contained in the
Cara Trading Advisors Discretionary Investment Advisory Agreement.

	Security is a primary concern. Your assets are held in your own name, separate from the brokerage’s assets and from other clients’ accounts. You can access an updated account statement daily. CTA cannot access your funds directly. You have full control because you have full account access through an electronic broker. You have the comfort of full regulatory compliance as well as industry and brokerage insurance. Currently, CTA works with Interactive Brokers. For the facts about security, visit Interactive Brokers. To end our relationship for any reason, send us written notice and we will stop trading the account.


	Unlike banks and broker-dealers CTA has no conflicts arising from selling our own products – because our only product is profit. We choose from the entire world of trading opportunities. Our decisions are unbiased, focused only on risk assessment and net performance.
