One+ Year of Live Performance
Since we have only one year of performance history, EU rules require us to report results from a hypothetical portfolio that mirrors the types of assets we invest in. Backtests of our strategy indicate substantially higher returns and lower risk compared to the hypothetical portfolio.
Warning: The results shown to the right are historical and not a guarantee of future returns.

Questions
What is the management fee?
The management fee is 0%.
How often can I withdraw money from the fund?
You may withdraw funds once per month. However, due to regulatory requirements, your remaining investment cannot fall below 750,000. If you wish to withdraw more than this, you will need to redeem your entire investment.
How often can I add more money to the fund?
Capital can normally be added on a quarterly basis. If there is significant investor interest, we may arrange an extraordinary capital raise in addition to, or instead of, the quarterly opportunity.
What assets are traded?
The fund invests primarily in U.S. equities, with a focus on the S&P 500. Investments are made in assets registered on the NYSE or NASDAQ.
Does Obsidianfund.ai use leverage?
No, the fund does not use leverage.
Does Obsidianfund.ai short stocks?
Yes, we do short selected stocks.
If both the S&P 500 and Obsidianfund.ai deliver negative returns, will I still pay a performance fee?
No. A performance fee is only charged if Obsidianfund.ai delivers a positive return.
If the S&P 500 delivers a negative return and Obsidianfund.ai delivers a positive return, how is the performance fee calculated?
In this case, the performance fee is calculated from a 0% baseline. That performance fee is charged only on the positive return achieved by Obsidianfund.ai
When is the cut-off for investments in the fund?
We expect to launch the fund on November 1st. There is no fixed cut-off date, but we only accept new investments in connection with the quarterly capital increases.
Who owns the fund? Is it pro rata based on deposits?
Legally, the fund is a separate entity where investors own shares in proportion to their contributions (pro rata).
Who administers the fund, and what happens if this administrator goes bankrupt? How do investors withdraw their money in that case?
Nordic Analytics administers the fund. Obsidianfund.ai is legally separated from Nordic Analytics, so investor assets are not part of any potential bankruptcy estate. If Nordic Analytics goes bankrupt, Obsidianfund.ai must appoint a new administrator/manager. Obsidianfund.ai has its own board consisting of the founders of Nordic Analytics, the main investor in Nordic Analytics, and the Obsidianfund.ai CEO (Rolf), as well as independent accounting. The exit fee is structured to cover legal costs, and the fund also pays directly for auditing (approx. DKK 100,000 annually). Therefore, investor funds are not locked into the fund even if the manager goes bankrupt, and the fund does not borrow from the manager.
Are there any governance or compliance requirements/rules in place for the solidity of the administrator?
As a registered FAIF/AIFM (Alternative Investment Fund Manager), we are required to have a minimum initial capital of EUR 125,000 . There is no fixed solvency ratio, but we are subject to the Danish FSA’s capital requirements and prudence principles. In addition, the fund has no leverage, effectively giving it a solvency ratio of 100%.
How and how often is the fund’s performance reported?
We are obliged to provide an annual report. In addition, investors will at a later point be able to log in via our website (https://obsidianfund.ai/) to view the NAV and the value of their investment. Our goal is to update the NAV daily, subject to technical delays in connection with capital increases or redemptions.
What happens if Interactive Brokers (the broker we use) goes bankrupt?
There is a difference between our cash holdings with Interactive Brokers and the assets we invest in. Interactive Brokers does not use its own bank but places client funds with international banks such as Barclays and HSBC. Therefore, the cash balance is not lost if Interactive Brokers goes bankrupt.
The assets we hold through Interactive Brokers are in practice owned via clearing houses, which register us as the owners, and therefore remain ours. The structure is equivalent to investing through Danske Bank or Saxo Bank. Interactive Brokers is one of the world’s largest brokers and reduces counterparty risk by using multiple banks. In addition, investors are covered by the Irish Compensation Scheme up to EUR 20,000 in the highly unlikely event of bankruptcies.
What is the minimum amount for Follow-on Investments?
Follow-on investment do not have to be DKK 750,000, but a minimum of DKK 250,000.
Is there a minimum withdrawal amount, and are there any fees for withdrawing?
Yes. The minimum withdrawal amount is DKK 250,000. Withdrawals are subject to a transaction cost of 0.2% (e.g., a withdrawal of DKK 250,000 would incur a cost of DKK 500). If a withdrawal would reduce the balance below DKK 750,000, the entire balance must be withdrawn. The withdrawal is only 0.1% of AUM for withdrawals over 10 million.
How often is the 20% performance fee charged?
The 20% performance fee is charged once a year
