Vektor · Boutique · Early Commitment
Show us a mandate.
We'll show you the platform.
Pick any listed equity market, any currency, any benchmark. We run the full Vektor workflow on your data. You see the efficient frontier, the correlation matrix, the max-Sharpe allocation, and the signal selected for every holding. Before any commercial conversation, and before any obligation on either side. No slides. No promises.
From signed agreement to first live strategy run
Typically days.
Entry and Growth tier standard clients follow a structured self-service process with pre-configured templates validated in production. No multi-week implementation project. The expected time from signed agreement to first live strategy run is typically days.
What it means to be a Proof Partner
A Proof Partner is committing before the live track record exists — before the platform has executed in a live account. That is the nature of the commitment, and it is acknowledged openly. In exchange, the commercial terms reflect that commitment: a 35% discount off your standard rate that carries forward permanently, reassessed annually as your AUM tier changes.
You are not a beta tester. You are the proof.
NDA
We sign a mutual NDA. Your mandate details stay confidential. The conversation that follows is covered from the first word.
At this stage you receive the Founder Story document — a full account of the founding team’s institutional backgrounds, available under the mutual NDA you have just signed. Founder backgrounds, institutional track records, and verifiable references are available at this point in the process.
Due diligence
We share the full Vektor documentation suite — commercial, operational, and technical due diligence, plus thirteen Unvarnished papers documenting the failure modes this platform was built to avoid. You assess the methodology, risk framework, and technology. The founding team is available to answer every question directly.
Proof of concept
Pick any listed equity market, any currency, any benchmark. We run the full Vektor workflow on your data and show you the output: the efficient frontier, the correlation matrix, the max-Sharpe allocation, and the per-instrument signal selection. No slides. No promises. The platform, working on your mandate.
What you receive at the end of the proof of concept: a fully specified, trade-ready position set — instruments, target weights, target quantities, assigned technical indicators, and Sharpe ratios for every holding. The allocation is calculated at live market prices, lot-rounded for your exchange, with a configurable cash buffer. Every figure is auditable and reproducible. This is not a demonstration. It is the platform output you would work from on day one.
The platform has been run on SGX (Singapore, SGD), NASDAQ (US, USD), and LSE (UK, GBp) mandates. Your market is a configuration, not a development task — bring yours. See the output →
Don’t trust us. Challenge us.
What the proof of concept delivers
You provide: your mandate details (instrument universe, benchmark, base currency, mandate size) — shared under the mutual NDA signed in Step 1.
We return: a fully specified, trade-ready position set — instruments, target weights, lot-rounded quantities at live market prices, assigned technical indicator per holding, and Sharpe ratio for every position. Capital allocation efficiency figure included. Every figure auditable and reproducible. Delivered as a platform view.
Timeframe: typically within 3 working days of receiving your mandate details under NDA.
Commercial
If the proof of concept works for your operation, we discuss a commercial arrangement under Proof Partner terms. If it does not, we tell you honestly — and the conversation is over without obligation on either side.
After signing, the First 90 Days document defines the structured onboarding period and the go-live gate — the defined milestone at which Proof Partner status converts to live client status and ongoing pricing mechanics apply.
Bloomberg B-PIPE integration, or other preferred primary data feed, is completed as part of the agreed Proof Partner implementation timeline, before go-live. We would not ask you to go live without a data feed you trust.
What the first week looks like.
What will the first 90 days look like…
…We don’t know!
But here’s how we’ll approach it.
In the first week of implementation, our CEO and CTO — the people who built it — are in your office. In person. Not on a call. In your office, working alongside you.
We are not there to configure. We are there to understand. What does your screening process actually look like? Where does the manual work happen? What takes longer than it should? What works well that you would not want disrupted?
By the end of the week we have a clear picture of your practice — not a theoretical model of it, but the real one. That picture shapes everything that follows — documented in the First 90 Days document. We could hand you a twelve-week plan at signing. It would be wrong by week three. So we don’t start with a plan. We start with a week.
What Proof Partners receive
These are not standard vendor benefits. They reflect a specific reality: you are committing before the platform has a live track record. What follows is exactly what we commit in return.
All Proof Partners pay 35% below the standard rate for their current AUM tier, permanently. If your AUM grows into a higher bracket, your subscription grows to match — at 65% of that bracket’s standard rate — from your next annual measurement, with the 35% discount carrying forward for the life of the relationship. A partner who grows from Entry into the Institutional bracket (USD 140,000/year standard) would move to USD 91,000/year at that point, permanently.
Example: a partner signing with AUM of USD 100M sits in the Growth tier at signing (standard rate USD 48,000/year). Their Proof Partner rate is USD 31,200/year from Year 1 — 65% of standard — reassessed annually as their AUM changes.
Right now, your process depends on one person. After Vektor, it doesn't.
A specific question? For example:
"What exactly does 'preferential commercial terms locked for the duration' mean if my AUM grows significantly?"
Direct factual response. No data-gathering. No bullshit.
Who we look for
The Proof Partners programme is selective. We qualify prospective partners on three criteria: technical readiness (the infrastructure to execute systematically), commercial clarity (a defined mandate and decision-making authority), and values alignment (a genuine commitment to the systematic process, including in periods of underperformance).
Being selected is meaningful. The programme is open to boutique DPMs, IAMs, and family office principals managing listed equity mandates across any exchange and currency.
Three Proof Partner slots — terms and availability
The Proof Partners programme is limited to three slots. Once full, it closes. Subsequent clients subscribe at standard AUM-tier pricing without Proof Partner terms.
The programme is open to wealth teams managing listed equity mandates across any exchange and currency. If your mandate includes fixed income or alternatives, enquire anyway — we will tell you honestly where we stand. Clients in Singapore, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Hong Kong may request settlement in their local currency (SGD, GBP, CHF, or HKD) at the prevailing mid-market rate locked at contract signing for the initial contract term. All subscription pricing remains denominated in USD.
Proof Partner rate
USD 13,500/year
Founding rate while AUM stays below USD 55M. The 35% discount then carries forward permanently, reassessed annually as AUM grows.
Standard Entry tier
USD 24,000/year
AUM up to USD 55M. Applies after Proof Partner slots close. See full pricing →

Documents for Proof Partners
Three documents prospective Proof Partners typically read before the NDA conversation.
We built a platform. Before we showed it to you, we published thirteen papers under our own name about why platforms like it fail. That is who built this. Read the series →
Full identification — names, professional histories, verifiable references — is provided under mutual NDA at term sheet stage.
Before we talk, it is worth reading precisely what Vektor is not designed to do. We publish this before you ask. What Vektor Is Not →

All enquiries are confidential. We respond within 48 hours with a proposed next step — not a generic acknowledgement.
If you can’t get over the name, we might not be right for each other.
A question that doesn’t fit a path? We’d rather you asked.
