If you want a guaranteed return, you should put your money into GIC. If you want a conservative return, you should invest in conservative mutual funds. If you want an index-like return, you should buy and hold an index ETF, where your money will rise and fall with the prevailing market cycle.

We realize that our clients take interest in our service because we provide absolute, above-average returns, through non-traditional means. If you are picturing an investment that yields upwards of 50% a year without potential monthly drawdowns, you have no business with this industry. With every trade, there is always controlled and calculated risk, in return for good profit potential. You will notice from our trading history that returns are accelerated during profitable periods, while losses are contained during unprofitable times. So the risk, while it remains a part of trading, is measured and the downside is calculated.

Your funds will be allocated equally between two separate accounts for diversification purposes. This allows us to be much more flexible in trading and tactical in managing risk when a position requires hedging. These two accounts will often produce different results, so by having a portion in each, your overall account balance will experience less volatility, less drawdown, and smoother long term growth. We combine the returns of these two accounts to reach the end results shown as "Dresden Performance Account".
