Critical Investment Disclosures

Past Performance: Past performance is not indicative of future results. Historical returns, whether actual or back-tested, do not guarantee future performance. Investment values will fluctuate, and investors may not recover the full amount of their investment.

No Guarantee: There is no guarantee that any investment objective will be achieved. All investments involve risk, including the possible loss of principal.

Suitability: These investments are suitable only for investors who understand and can afford the risks involved, including the risk of total loss. Investors should carefully consider their investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation before investing.

Accreditation Requirements: SCEA Prime is available only to accredited investors as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D. SCEA Venture Partners is available only to qualified purchasers under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

KEY WARNING FOR VENTURE PARTNERS

SCEA Venture Partners represents a venture capital style investment in trading talent with exceptionally high risk. The probability of total loss of invested capital is significant. This product is suitable only for sophisticated investors who fully understand these risks and can afford to lose their entire investment. Expected trader success rates are low (15% become profitable, 5% become star performers).

Legal & Administrative Matters

Fees and Expenses: Investments are subject to management fees (2% annually) and performance fees (20% above preferred return). Additional expenses include custodial fees, administrative fees, audit fees, and other operational costs that reduce net returns.

Confidentiality: Due to the proprietary nature of our strategies, complete transparency is provided only to verified investors under NDA. Public disclosures are intentionally limited to protect competitive advantages.

Tax Considerations: Tax treatment varies by jurisdiction and investor type. Investors are responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable tax laws in their countries of residence and citizenship.

No Legal or Tax Advice: This document does not constitute legal or tax advice. Investors should consult with their own legal and tax advisors regarding the implications of an investment.
