No share of client profits
US Index Capital does not deduct a performance percentage from the client's provider payout. The client retains the full provider payout attributable to our trading, before settling our separate account based fee.

A performance based hedge fund model built around one specialist market: Nasdaq 100. Systematic scalping, predefined downside and disciplined execution during the New York session.
A performance based Nasdaq 100 hedge fund, combining systematic scalping, disciplined risk control, funded account management and selective private capital mandates.
US Index Capital operates a performance aligned model focused exclusively on Nasdaq 100 scalping. We take 0% of the trading profits paid to the client. Instead, our separate account based management fee becomes payable only after the client has received a profitable funded account payout. If no profitable monthly result is produced, no monthly management fee is due.
- Client paid first: the applicable prop firm reward split is applied and the client receives the provider payout before our fee becomes payable.
- 0% performance deduction: we do not take a percentage of the client's provider payout; our fee is separate, fixed by funded account size and conditional on a profitable month.
- Performance aligned: if our trading does not produce a profitable funded account payout for the month, the client does not pay our monthly management fee.
Who we are
Your ambition should not have to wait for spare time.
US Index Capital is a specialist hedge fund for individuals who aspire to greater financial freedom but have careers, families and commitments to prioritise. Our team manages Nasdaq 100 strategy and execution on your behalf.
Keep your time for what matters. You do not need to spend hours watching charts each day or make unfamiliar trading decisions yourself. Our process follows predefined rules and risk controls, providing a structured alternative to guesswork and impulsive speculation. Trading still carries risk, and losses remain possible.
What this means for you
- More time for your life. No daily chart watching or need to learn to trade.
- Full management. FTMO evaluations and ongoing Nasdaq 100 trading handled by our team.
- Disciplined decisions. Predefined trading rules, risk controls and professional oversight guide execution.
- 0% profit share to us. Keep your FTMO payout before our separate 1% monthly fee on funded account size.
- Your payout comes first. No profitable funded payout means no monthly management fee.
- Evaluation protection. We fund one retry. After two eligible failures, receive your 1% fee back plus 1% of the target account balance, subject to written terms.
- Potential to scale. Build towards FTMO’s $400k standard allocation; eligible scaling may reach $2m. Growth is not guaranteed.
- Service flexibility. No minimum lock in, subject to agreed notice and provider terms.
Performance alignment
A client first fee structure designed around one principle: we are paid only after the client is paid.
Traditional asset management arrangements may charge recurring fees regardless of short term performance and may also deduct a percentage of gains. Our funded account model is deliberately different: we take no percentage of the trading profits paid to the client, and our separate monthly management fee is conditional on a profitable funded account payout.
Client payment comes first
The prop firm applies its own reward split and pays the client. Only after a profitable payout has been received does our monthly management fee become payable.
No profitable month, no fee
If our trading does not produce a profitable funded account payout for that month, the client owes no monthly management fee to US Index Capital.
No client trading required
Following onboarding and account setup, clients are not required to place trades or monitor intraday execution. Our systematic process operates under professional oversight and predefined risk controls.
This commercial structure does not guarantee profits, payouts, challenge completion or capital protection. Funded accounts are simulated proprietary trading programmes, provider rules apply, and trading outcomes may include losses and drawdown.
Why US Index Capital?
Clients choose US Index Capital because our commercial incentives are tied to the outcome we are engaged to pursue. Traditional hedge funds and financial advisers may charge an ongoing management fee regardless of whether a client finishes the period in profit, and some may also charge a percentage of gains. Depending on the agreement, those charges can remain due during a loss making period. Our structure works differently: we take 0% of the provider payout attributable to our trading. The client receives the applicable provider payout first, and our separate account based management fee becomes due only after a profitable payout. If no profitable payout is produced for the month, no management fee is due, so US Index Capital earns no management fee for that month.
Performance aligned economics
We are paid after the client is paid
Many traditional fund and advisory arrangements can continue charging a management fee during a period in which the client has made no profit, subject to their agreement. Our funded account model puts the payment sequence first: the provider pays the client, the client receives the profitable payout, and only then does our separate account based management fee become payable. If the month produces no profitable payout, our management fee is 0% for that month. Our organisation therefore earns no management fee unless the client has been paid first.
Risk defined before reward
Every position begins with predefined downside. The objective is to seek reward that is meaningfully larger than the capital placed at risk, so profitability is driven by disciplined expectancy across a series of trades rather than the need to win every individual trade.
Why the NYSE session matters
The Wall Street session concentrates participation, price discovery and institutional activity in the Nasdaq 100. We focus our execution around these conditions instead of trading continuously throughout the day.
One market, one playbook
Nasdaq 100 remains our sole public execution market. Concentrating on one instrument allows the same session behaviour, volatility profile, liquidity conditions and risk reward structures to be reviewed consistently.
Asymmetric reward objectives
We do not treat every trade as equally valuable. Our framework is designed around controlled losses and larger reward objectives where conditions justify the exposure, allowing positive expectancy to come from the relationship between average risk and average reward.
Drawdown conscious discipline
Our objective is to pursue returns with controlled drawdown, predefined risk and account protection at the centre of the process. Drawdown cannot be eliminated, but no single position should be permitted to compromise the wider mandate.
Systematic, low intervention service
Rules based algorithms, private infrastructure and human oversight support repeatable execution. Once onboarding is complete, clients are not required to place trades, monitor the market or make discretionary intraday decisions.
Nasdaq 100 NYSE scalping performance profile
FTMO allocation framework, focused on building towards the maximum allocation, with payouts shown clearly in USD.
US Index Capital is built around one alignment principle: specialise in Nasdaq 100 scalping, define downside before entry and scale only where the strategy remains inside predefined risk limits. Our funded account strategy has historically produced an average monthly return in the region of 4% to 8%, with stronger months possible but never assumed. The 4% and 8% figures below are gross profit scenarios shown in USD. FTMO pays 90% of that profit under the payout model used in these examples. This is historical performance, not a guaranteed return or personal forecast, and drawdown remains possible.
Historical funded account performance
Approximately 4% to 8% per month on average. Higher performing months may occur, but are not promised. Results remain subject to market conditions, execution quality, losses and drawdown controls.
Client net payout shown clearly
The provider reward split is applied first. The client then pays our 1% funded account management fee and retains the remaining net amount shown in each example below.
Capital first discipline
Every return objective is secondary to account protection, risk control and disciplined execution through losing sequences.
Our funded account evaluation assurance
A full evaluation fee refund, plus an additional 1% inconvenience payment.
If both eligible evaluation attempts are unsuccessful, we refund the client’s original 1% evaluation fee in full and additionally pay a further 1% of the target funded account balance as an inconvenience payment. The client therefore receives a total amount equivalent to 2% of the target funded account balance, subject to our written terms and conditions.

First eligible attempt: if Phase 1 and Phase 2 are not passed on the first evaluation, US Index Capital purchases one replacement challenge entirely from our own capital. The client pays no additional challenge cost for this second attempt.
Second eligible attempt: if the replacement challenge is also unsuccessful, we refund the original 1% evaluation fee in full and pay an additional 1% of the target funded account balance as an inconvenience payment. The client receives 2% in total, subject to the written terms agreed before onboarding.
Terms and conditions: the assurance applies only after two unsuccessful eligible evaluation attempts managed exclusively by US Index Capital. The client must not place, modify or close trades, interfere with the account, breach provider rules or withdraw access during either attempt. Any client intervention, inaccurate account information, provider disqualification outside our trading activity, platform interruption or breach of the agreed onboarding terms may invalidate the assurance. The original 1% evaluation fee is refunded in full, and a separate inconvenience payment of 1% of the target nominal funded account balance is added. The total is therefore 2% of that balance: $1,000 on a $50,000 account ($500 refund + $500 inconvenience payment) or $2,000 on a $100,000 account ($1,000 refund + $1,000 inconvenience payment). All amounts are in USD. Full written terms must be accepted before trading begins.

All monetary examples are shown in USD. FTMO payout examples use 90% of gross profit. The 4% to 8% monthly figure describes historical average funded account performance and is not guaranteed. FTMO provides simulated proprietary trading programmes; funded allocations are not client deposits or investment capital. The separately labelled evaluation assurance examples show a full refund of the original 1% evaluation fee plus an additional 1% inconvenience payment from US Index Capital after two unsuccessful eligible evaluation attempts, totalling 2% of the target funded account balance. These payments are distinct from our monthly administrative management fee and remain subject to the written eligibility, conduct, exclusion and payment terms accepted before onboarding. Standard pre scaling allocation is shown as $400,000 with FTMO per trader or strategy, subject to eligibility, location, programme and provider rule changes. Calculations use a 90% FTMO payout of gross profit. The client receives the applicable provider payout first; only after a profitable payout does our 1% funded account management fee become payable. The compounding figures use C × (1 + r)^12 and assume every month's full gross result remains in the balance. Funded accounts do not automatically compound when rewards are withdrawn, and balance growth requires retained profits or provider approved scaling. Comparison rows are alternative allocation levels and must not be added together as simultaneous accounts beyond FTMO's cap. Actual results, payout timing, reward shares, fees and allocations vary.
Evaluation & funding
Evaluation, funding & ongoing management: with clear, aligned pricing.
Our funded account management service covers the complete pathway: management of Phase 1 and Phase 2, funded account setup and ongoing Nasdaq 100 execution after funding. Once funded, our strategy has historically produced an average monthly range of approximately 4% to 8%, subject to market conditions, provider rules, losses and drawdown. The provider applies its reward split and pays the client first; our separate 1% account based monthly management fee becomes payable only after a profitable payout. If there is no profitable payout for the month, no monthly management fee is charged.
How our evaluation & management model works
- 1% Upfront evaluation fee: We charge 1% of the account balance to manage and pass Phase 1 & Phase 2 of the evaluation. The minimum account size we manage is $50,000.
- ✓ Full management of both phases: Our team manages the entire evaluation process on your behalf and, following successful funding and setup, continues with ongoing funded account management. You are not required to place trades, monitor markets or make intraday execution decisions.
- % Two attempt evaluation assurance: There are no guarantees of returns, wins, losses or funded outcomes. If the first eligible challenge is unsuccessful, we purchase one replacement challenge entirely from our own capital and make a second attempt at no additional challenge cost to the client. If that second eligible attempt is also unsuccessful, we refund the original 1% evaluation fee in full and pay an additional 1% of the target funded account balance as an inconvenience payment. The client receives 2% in total, subject to the written terms agreed before onboarding.
- 💼 After funding: Once the account is funded, the prop firm applies its reward split and you retain 100% of the resulting provider payout attributable to our trading; US Index Capital takes no percentage of that payout. Our separate 1% monthly management fee based on the funded account's nominal balance is payable only after a profitable payout. If we do not produce a profitable funded account payout for the month, no monthly management fee is due.
- ⚠️ Important terms: To preserve the two attempt evaluation assurance, you must allow us to manage 100% of the trading activity. If you place trades yourself or materially compromise the account, the replacement challenge, evaluation fee refund and inconvenience payment arrangements may become void under the agreed terms.
Evaluation assurance*: 1% refund + 1% inconvenience payment
*The fee refund and additional payment apply only after both eligible attempts are unsuccessful, subject to our written terms. This assurance is not a guarantee of returns, profits or funded outcomes.

Technology & execution
Nasdaq 100 systematic scalping backed by serious NYSE session execution infrastructure.
Our Nasdaq 100 process depends on execution quality. The goal is repeatability: low latency infrastructure, rules based logic, predefined risk, asymmetric reward objectives and continuous review of the Nasdaq 100 during the NYSE session.
Nasdaq 100 NYSE session execution infrastructure
We combine systematic algorithms, real time Nasdaq 100 data, private VPS infrastructure and human oversight to identify structured opportunities, define downside before entry and manage positions around predetermined risk controlled return objectives.
By repeatedly analysing the same instrument and the same Wall Street session, we seek to reduce inconsistency caused by switching between unrelated markets and keep our execution process directly connected to live Nasdaq 100 behaviour.
Systematic ScalpingNYSE sessionRules basedHuman oversightPrivate VPS
Completely passive, no manual intervention required
Our service operates passively for clients. Systematic execution handles the trading process while our team oversees risk, infrastructure and operational discipline.
This allows clients to focus on their broader priorities while we operate the agreed Nasdaq 100 scalping framework in the background, always subject to provider rules and predefined risk limits.
Nasdaq 100 market focus
Nasdaq 100 is our only execution market, built for disciplined systematic scalping during the NYSE session.
Nasdaq 100 is the sole market at the centre of our public strategy. We study NYSE session structure, liquidity shifts, volatility expansion, pullbacks and scalping behaviour with the objective of identifying repeatable opportunities where predefined downside is justified by asymmetric reward potential.

FTMO funding pathway
Building towards the maximum FTMO allocation.
Our funded account framework is focused exclusively on FTMO, with the objective of building each eligible client’s allocation towards the standard maximum of $400,000 before further provider scaling. The figures below remain subject to FTMO’s current programme rules, eligibility and account structure.
Funding Pathway
FTMO
Our standard allocation framework uses up to $400,000 of FTMO capital before provider specific scaling. The website payout arithmetic uses a 90% FTMO payout of gross profit in USD.
Standard allocation framework$400k
Payout of gross profit90% paid in USD
Beyond $400,000: the potential to scale towards $2 million.
For clients with a long term outlook, our objective is to build a consistent trading record that may support further allocation growth. FTMO’s Scaling Plan offers eligible accounts a route beyond the standard $400,000 limit before scaling, towards a maximum of $2,000,000 in simulated trading capital across all FTMO accounts.
Progression is earned through performance. FTMO’s current plan provides for 25% allocation increases following qualifying periods of at least four months, subject to its profit, reward and account requirements. Continued engagement with US Index Capital alone does not confer eligibility. Allocation growth, approval, timing and future returns are not guaranteed and remain subject to FTMO’s prevailing rules.
FTMO standard / pre scaling framework: up to $400,000 with FTMO under the assumptions presented here. The provider pays the client first; our separate 1% funded account management fee becomes payable only after a profitable provider payout.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
The following addresses common questions regarding our funded account and private client structures. Full details are provided during onboarding and, where appropriate, private consultation.
How does the onboarding process work?
Our onboarding process is straightforward and simple. Send us a message on WhatsApp to get started using our direct link above. We will respond as quickly as possible and guide you through each step.
We are committed to ensuring your questions are answered and your financial needs are handled with care, clarity and efficiency before any mandate progresses.
Can I withdraw at any time?
Once you have successfully passed both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the evaluation process, or if you are already funded, you are able to request withdrawals in line with the rules of the proprietary firm or structure we are working with.
FTMO withdrawals follow the payout schedule and eligibility rules of the selected programme. As a trader and investor, you retain visibility and control over your capital within that agreed framework.
Our role is to preserve and grow your capital prudently, especially during periods of economic uncertainty, ensuring your investments are managed carefully and effectively.
Do you pass and manage funded accounts?
Yes. We focus exclusively on FTMO and manage the full process of passing standard two phase evaluations. Once funded, we can continue to manage the account on your behalf.
We charge an upfront 1% of the account balance to manage and pass both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the evaluation. The minimum account size we manage is $50,000.
Once the account is funded, the prop firm applies its reward split and our clients retain 100% of the resulting provider payout attributable to our trading. US Index Capital takes 0% of that payout. Our separate monthly administrative management fee is 1% of each funded account's nominal balance, payable only after the client receives a profitable provider payout. If there is no profitable payout in a given month, there is no monthly management fee for that month.
There are no guarantees of returns, wins, losses or funded outcomes. If the first eligible challenge is unsuccessful, we purchase one replacement challenge entirely from our own capital and make a second attempt at no additional challenge cost to the client. If the second eligible attempt is also unsuccessful, we refund the original 1% evaluation fee in full and pay an additional 1% of the target funded account balance as an inconvenience payment. The client receives 2% in total: $1,000 on a $50,000 account ($500 refund + $500 inconvenience payment) or $2,000 on a $100,000 account ($1,000 refund + $1,000 inconvenience payment). All amounts are in USD, and payment is subject to the written eligibility, conduct and assurance terms, including no independent client trading during either attempt.
What does your service cost and how are private mandates structured?
For evaluation and funded account structures, we charge an upfront 1% of the account balance to manage both evaluation phases, with a minimum account size of $50,000.
On funded accounts, the prop firm applies its own reward split and clients retain 100% of the resulting provider payout attributable to our trading. US Index Capital takes 0% of that payout and charges a separate monthly administrative management fee equal to 1% of each funded account's nominal balance, payable only after the client receives a profitable provider payout. If there is no profitable payout in a given month, no monthly management fee is charged.
For personal portfolio management, enquiries are handled strictly via private 1 to 1 consultation. These mandates are reserved for selected VIP clients seeking a more bespoke structure for their own capital rather than funded or proprietary firm capital. We work alongside trusted, verified and regulated brokerage counterparties known to us through long standing professional relationships, selected for exceptionally competitive spreads, especially around Nasdaq 100 execution, as well as the operational standard required for serious capital. We also use private VPS infrastructure to support fast, stable execution. Deposits, return objectives, management fees and mandate terms are discussed only in confidential consultation.
Which markets do you trade?
We trade and publicly position the strategy around Nasdaq 100 only. Our scalping framework, execution logic and performance review are centred on the Nasdaq 100 market and the NYSE session. The strategy is presented exclusively as Nasdaq 100.
Who is US Index Capital suitable for?
Our services are aimed at investors who value professional risk management, discretion and alignment over do it yourself trading: high net worth individuals, family offices and investors seeking professionally managed exposure to a specialist Nasdaq 100 trading process.
Personal portfolio management is considered on a selective basis and is discussed exclusively through a private 1 to 1 consultation for VIP clients seeking a bespoke mandate for their own capital. We do not publish the finer details of these arrangements publicly.
This material is purely informational and does not constitute personal investment advice.
Private capital mandates
Private personal portfolio management is reserved for selected clients.
Our private capital service is reserved for selected clients and is intentionally not presented as a mass market retail product. Each mandate begins with a confidential 1 to 1 consultation so we can understand risk appetite, capital objectives and mandate parameters before discussing any suitable structure. Where applicable, execution is centred on our Nasdaq 100 specialist process, supported by trusted brokerage relationships, competitive spreads, private VPS infrastructure and disciplined operational controls. Deposits, return expectations, management fees and capital management parameters are discussed only in private consultation.
Broker access with a selective edge
For suitable mandates, we work alongside trusted, regulated brokers capable of offering exceptionally low spreads on selected instruments we trade, together with fast execution and the operational standard serious capital expects.
Confidential by design
We do not publish private mandate structures, broker arrangements or execution detail publicly. The service is intentionally positioned for investors who value discretion, high standards and a more considered form of access.
Consultation led suitability
Every discussion begins with a private consultation covering risk appetite, capital objectives, preferred return profile and broader portfolio considerations before any appropriate structure is explored.
Reserved for serious capital.
Access is considered only after private consultation and suitability review. This helps protect the quality of the mandate, the confidentiality of the process and the standard of counterparties involved.
The result is a service designed for investors seeking a discreet, professionally structured relationship, not a public facing retail proposition.
Private mandate highlights
- Confidential consultation before any mandate discussion
- Reserved for selected VIP and high net worth investors
- Trusted regulated broker relationships and efficient execution
- No public disclosure of detailed mandate information
