How Virtus Capital’s “No Profit, No Fee” Model Works

At Virtus Capital, we believe the way we get paid should be directly tied to your success.
That’s why our investment model is built on a simple principle: if you don’t make a profit, we don’t get paid.

This “No Profit, No Fee” approach is designed to align our goals with yours — we only succeed when you do.

1. How the Model Works

When you connect your trading account to one of our strategies:

• Your account remains in your own name with one of our FCA-regulated broker partners (e.g., Pelican Trading).
  
  
• At the end of each performance period, if your account balance has increased, we take an agreed percentage as our fee.
  
  
• If your account hasn’t made a profit, you pay nothing.
  
  

This means there are:

• No management fees eating into returns.
  
  
• No upfront costs before you’ve made money.
  
  
• No hidden charges buried in the fine print.
  
  

2. Why This Benefits Clients

Traditional investment managers often charge management fees regardless of performance.
That means you could end up paying even in a losing year.

Our model is different:

• We share in the upside, never in the downside.
  
  
• We are motivated to protect capital and grow it consistently.
  
  
• You know exactly what you’ll pay before you start — no surprises.
  
  

3. Example Scenario

Let’s say you invest £25,000 via your own account with one of our broker partners:

Month 1:

• Starting balance: £25,000
  
  
• Ending balance: £26,250 (a 5% profit)
  
  
• Profit: £1,250
  
  
• Our fee (example 30%): £375
  
  
• Your net gain: £875
  
  

Month 2:

• Starting balance: £26,250
  
  
• Ending balance: £25,800 (loss month)
  
  
• Profit: £0
  
  
• Our fee: £0
  
  

4. How We Keep It Fair

• Performance Fees are Calculated on Net Profits — after any losses are recovered.
  
  
• High-Water Mark Principle — we only earn on profits above your highest previous balance.
  
  
• Transparent Reporting — all fees are visible through your broker account and our partner platform.
  
  

5. Backed by Regulated Partners

While Virtus Capital is not FCA-regulated directly, we operate via FCA-regulated partners such as Pelican Trading (London & Eastern LLP).
This ensures that:

• Your funds are held in segregated accounts.
  
  
• The fee process is fully automated and transparent.
  
  
• You can withdraw at any time.
  
  

The Bottom Line

Our “No Profit, No Fee” model isn’t just a marketing slogan — it’s a commitment to shared success.
It means we are as invested in your results as you are, and you’ll never pay us for underperformance.
