Separate paperwork must be filled out to open a managed account. All managed accounts must have investment advisory agreements with Lorintine Capital and completed brokerage account documents with TD Ameritrade Institutional (all of which can be filled out electronically and DocuSigned).
Steady Option members in certain countries (such as Canada), may not be able to open an account. If you live outside of the United States and wish to know if you can open an account, please email Lorintine Capital ( info@lorintinecapital.com ).
The brokerage account is established in the client’s name and gives the client full access to it. This means individuals can check the balance, view all of the trades as they occur, deposit/withdraw money, and generally maintain control over the account. If account holders decide to close the account or transfer money out of the account, we hope they communicate with us to make the process easy, but clients can always call TD Ameritrade Institutional directly and transfer the funds or close the account.Investors receive monthly statements from both TD Ameritrade Institutional and Lorintine Capital.

How are managed accounts run (e.g. how are trades made)?
All investor accounts in each strategy are treated equally through block trading. After the order has been filled, the position is then distributed to individual accounts based on the average fill price of executed block orders.
How do I open a managed account and how much do they cost?

The typical account opening process, depending on the investors funding source and if the investor promptly returns the paperwork, takes 5-10 business days.

Accounts in excess of $200,000 are charged an annualized management fee of 0.75% by Lorintine Capital and your Steady Options product specific fee is waived.

Diversified Leveraged Anchor Performance
In our continued efforts to improve the Anchor strategy, in April of this year we began tracking a Diversified Leveraged Anchor strategy, under the theory that, over time, a diversified portfolio performs better than an undiversified portfolio in numerous metrics.
