The succession wave
The generation that built Polish companies after 1989 is handing the wealth on. Once a business is sold, that capital becomes liquid for the first time, and needs an investment policy for the first time.
PRIME Q is a project to build Poland's first fully systematic fund. Every trade is decided by a model built on data and tested against history, not by a manager's instinct or the mood of the market.
Informational material. Not an offer and not investment advice.
An investor holding tens of millions of PLN chooses between a product designed for the mass market and an offer that does not know them. There is no third option in Poland.
Funds designed for mass distribution. Discretionary decisions, holdings disclosed late, and costs spread across several layers. It is hard to say what exactly you are paying for.
Access to global strategies, but from a threshold counted in millions of euro, in a foreign currency, and without any grasp of the Polish tax, legal and succession context.
An independent manager working systematically: in Polish, for a Polish professional client, with a method you can read and risk you can measure. That is the gap we want to close.
How we intend to do itThe generation that built Polish companies after 1989 is handing the wealth on. Once a business is sold, that capital becomes liquid for the first time, and needs an investment policy for the first time.
A vehicle available in Poland since 2023 has changed how families hold wealth. A foundation with a generational horizon needs a repeatable strategy, not one that rests on a single person.
Market data, computing power and execution infrastructure that a decade ago belonged to global giants are now within reach of a team of a few people.
Warsaw now has specialists from global algorithmic trading firms and investment banks. The expertise Poland was missing has arrived.
“Quant” does not mean a black box. It means every decision has a written reason that can be reproduced and verified, including when the outcome is bad.
We work with point-in-time data, the version that was known on the day. The model cannot see the future, because that is the most common reason a strategy that looks brilliant in a test loses money on a live account.
Hypothesis, out-of-sample test, walk-forward, stress test. A strategy that does not survive that path does not enter the portfolio, however good the chart looks.
Concentration limits, diversification, and transaction cost priced into the decision from the start rather than added at the end. The portfolio is built to be durable, not impressive.
Orders are placed automatically and measured. We report the gap between the assumed price and the one we got, because that is a real cost that eats returns quietly.
A layer independent of the strategy, with hard limits and daily measurement. Risk is a parameter agreed with the investor before launch, not a side effect.
The legal construction of alternative funds in Poland rules out retail investors. We are talking to four groups.
People with liquid assets above a few million PLN, most often after selling a business or after many years in a senior role.
Structures with a generational horizon that need an investment policy resilient to changes of people and of mood.
Single and multi-family offices, for whom a systematic strategy complements rather than replaces the current allocation.
A party ready to come in first and help shape the fund's parameters in exchange for founding terms.
The fund does not exist in legal form yet, which is precisely why there is still something to discuss. The product's parameters are not closed, and what we hear at this stage genuinely settles into them.
Liquidity, currency, reporting scope and the entry threshold are designed with the first investors' views taken into account, before any decision on legal structure is made.
Capital committed before launch is intended to carry a lower management fee, held even after assets grow.
Every quantitative strategy has finite capacity. Once it is reached the fund closes to new capital, and the first investors come first.
The full report on market analysis, competition and strategy validation goes to everyone who took part in the research, whatever they decide about investing.
The above describes rules the project intends to adopt. It is not an offer or a commitment. Final terms depend on the legal structure chosen and require separate documents.
We publish the schedule because an investor is entitled to know which stage they are talking to, and what still has to happen.
Analysis of segments, competitors and regulation, plus investor interviews. The survey on this site is part of this stage.
Out-of-sample tests, stress conditions, transaction costs and a capacity estimate. This stage sets the strategy's parameters and the ceiling on capital.
Choosing the regulatory route and registering the vehicle. We pick the structure once the research stage closes, so that it matches the product's real parameters.
Building a documented result on proprietary capital or a separate account, before any external capital arrives.
Launching the fund for the Founding Circle, on the terms agreed at stage one.
The survey takes about four minutes. We ask what you expect from liquidity, risk, reporting and costs. The answers shape the product, and the aggregate results go back to everyone who takes part.
No. This site is informational material about a project at the concept stage. We do not offer financial instruments, we do not take deposits and we do not enter into investment agreements.
Not yet. Choosing the regulatory route and registering the vehicle is one of the project's stages. It follows the market research and strategy validation, so that the structure matches the fund's target parameters. Until then we carry on no activity that requires a licence.
That decisions follow rules written in advance and tested on historical data, rather than a manager's judgement in the moment. People build and supervise the model and own the risk, but they do not change decisions because of a headline.
Polish rules on alternative funds set a minimum of EUR 40,000–60,000 depending on the form. The actual threshold will be higher and will be set together with the first investors, which is one of the survey questions.
No. No investment strategy guarantees a profit, and investing carries the risk of losing part or all of your capital. We deliberately publish no simulated returns. Until there is a verified track record, any number would be a promise with nothing behind it.

It is the only step we ask for today. It requires no capital commitment and no contact details.
