Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start the investment process?

The onboarding process depends on your capital commitment:

Category A (Asher) [$20,000 and above]:

Create a personal Brightwin (BW) Securities trading account.

Sign the LPOA (Limited Power of Attorney).

Deposit funds directly into the BW bank account.

Sit and wait for the quarterly payout.

Decide whether to withdraw profits from the wallet to your personal bank account or add them to your trading account to compound.

How are profits shared?

Profits are shared based on performance with Ark Solomon:

There is a 1-tier direct referral fee of 5% (taken from the profit, not the principal).

A 10% management fee applies to profits if the initial principal is less than $20,000.

Fixed Quarterly payout schedule: 31 Mar, 30 Jun, 30 Sep, 31 Dec

First payout will be on the 2nd payout date after account is created and trading has started.

What if I wish to terminate early?

If you choose to terminate your investment before the scheduled quarterly payout dates, you will ONLY be able to withdraw the principal amount. All accumulated profits for that period will be forfeited, and any withdrawal fees will be borne by you.

How do I start the investment process for Category B?

Category B (Berachah) [Less than $20,000]:

Sign the LPOA. Follow category A steps.

Deposit funds into the Ark Solomon Pte Ltd bank account.

Sit and wait for the quarterly payout.

Decide whether to withdraw profits to your personal bank account or add them to the trading account.

Note: Ark Solomon will issue a receipt for a "Voucher" for the amount received, and a receipt for an "Unused Voucher" for the amount paid out.

How do I withdraw my funds?

- Category A (Asher): Withdraw directly from your own personal trading wallet on the Brightwin (BW) Securities platform.
- Category B (Berachah): Submit a formal withdrawal request to Ark Solomon. Please note that all withdrawal transaction fees will be borne by the investor.

How safe is my investment?

This is the most critical question. Here is a breakdown of the safety protocols:

Where is the money held?

Category A: Funds are deposited directly into your personal trading account with Brightwin Securities. Ark Solomon does NOT hold custody of Category A funds. Ark Solomon only holds trading authority via LPOA.

Is Brightwin Securities licensed?

Brightwin S and F Ltd is a licensed brokerage firm, operational since 2012.

Current license is with Mauritius Finance and Securities Commission, License ref: GB21026313. The license includes the scope of investment dealership where fund management is within the scope of the license.

All clients accounts are lodged with the commission and its appointed auditor, ensuring proper segregation of clients fund and operational expenses.

What are the specific risks?

Market volatility, drawdown risk, broker counterparty risk, liquidity risk during extreme market conditions, and regulatory changes in Forex markets.

What is the drawdown control strategy?

Ark Capital utilizes a strict risk management protocol to preserve capital. When evaluating, investors should ask and understand:

The maximum risk per trade.

The maximum portfolio drawdown limit.

The stop-loss protections in place.

The leverage ratio being used.

What is an LPOA?

LPOA stands for Limited Power of Attorney. It strictly allows Ark Solomon to trade on your behalf. It does NOT allow Ark Solomon to withdraw your funds, transfer your funds to a third party, or change your beneficiary/bank details.

Are capital fund guaranteed?

No. This is FOREX trading. There is inherent market risk, and there is no capital guarantee unless explicitly insured (which this structure does not provide). If you are seeking "guaranteed returns," this investment is not for you.

What is the expected return?

Returns are strictly performance-based. Quarterly payouts depend entirely on trading results. There is no fixed interest promise, and historical performance (if shown) does not guarantee future performance. Approaching this with a "how much per month is guaranteed?" mindset is not suitable for this model.

Who is executing the trades?

Capital execution transparency is vital. Trades are executed based on a documented trading strategy framework (specify if manual, algorithmic bot, or a hybrid system) that has been live and tested over a specific period.

What happens if Ark Solomon stops operating?

Category A: Your funds remain secure in your own broker account. You simply revoke the LPOA and maintain full control of your capital.

Category B: There is an operational dependency on Ark Solomon's administration to process your fund distribution.

Are there lock-in periods?

The structure operates on a quarterly payout basis. Early exit before the quarter ends forfeits your profits for that period.

Is this a pooled fund?

Category A: No. There is no pooled custody. You hold an individual segregated account.

Category B: Yes, this involves operational pooling under the Ark Solomon structure to allow smaller capitals to access the strategy.

What is the legal relationship?

You, the investor, retain full ownership of your capital. Ark Solomon acts strictly as a trading manager under the LPOA. Profit sharing is contractual, and referral commissions are paid strictly from profits, never from the principal.

What are the total fees involved?

Transparency builds trust. Expected costs include:

Broker spreads / commissions (deducted automatically during trades)

Management fee (if applicable for Cat B)

Performance sharing % (deducted from profits)

Withdrawal fees

Currency conversion fees

Banking wire fees

What happens during losing quarters?

If there is no profit, there is no payout. Market losses will reduce the capital base. Profit sharing applies exclusively to profitable periods.

What happens during a "Black Swan" or worst-case scenario?

The absolute worst-case scenario includes significant account drawdown, capital loss due to a sudden market crash, broker failure risk, or a regulatory freeze. Investors must mentally accept these possibilities before committing.

What documents will the investor receive?

Broker account opening confirmation. LPOA agreement. Deposit confirmation.

Quarterly statements and profit payout summaries.

Ark Solomon receipt / voucher (For Category B only).

Is this regulated as a fund?

No. This is a critical compliance distinction: This is NOT a public collective investment scheme. It is a discretionary trading arrangement executed via an LPOA.

Who is suitable for this investment?

Suitable for: Investors who understand trading risk, are comfortable with volatility, and are long-term capital allocators.

Not suitable for: Emergency fund money, borrowed/debt money, short-term liquidity needs, or individuals expecting fixed interest.

How are disputes handled?

Dispute resolution, governing law, arbitration clauses, jurisdiction, and broker dispute escalation channels must be documented in writing during the onboarding process.

Can the investor monitor trades?

Yes. For Category A, investors have 24/7 view-only access via their broker login for real-time equity viewing and complete transaction history transparency.
