Warsaw · in preparation

Systematic investing.
Built in Warsaw.

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.

  • Rules instead of emotion
  • Risk measured daily
  • Fees you can read in one line

Informational material. Not an offer and not investment advice.

The gap

Polish capital has two options today.
Neither one fits.

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.

01

Domestic fund houses

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.

02

Foreign private banking

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.

03

What is missing

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 it
Why now

Four things arrived at the same moment

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.

The family foundation

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.

Technology came down in price

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.

The people are already here

Warsaw now has specialists from global algorithmic trading firms and investment banks. The expertise Poland was missing has arrived.

Approach

Five layers. Every one of them checkable.

“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.

  1. 01

    Data

    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.

  2. 02

    Research

    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.

  3. 03

    Portfolio construction

    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.

  4. 04

    Execution

    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.

  5. 05

    Risk

    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.

Read the full approach

Who it is for

Professional capital, a horizon in years

The legal construction of alternative funds in Poland rules out retail investors. We are talking to four groups.

Private investor

People with liquid assets above a few million PLN, most often after selling a business or after many years in a senior role.

Family foundation

Structures with a generational horizon that need an investment policy resilient to changes of people and of mood.

Family office

Single and multi-family offices, for whom a systematic strategy complements rather than replaces the current allocation.

Anchor investor

A party ready to come in first and help shape the fund's parameters in exchange for founding terms.

Founding Circle

The first investors have a say in the rules

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.

01

Influence on the product's parameters

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.

02

A lower management fee

Capital committed before launch is intended to carry a lower management fee, held even after assets grow.

03

Priority allocation

Every quantitative strategy has finite capacity. Once it is reached the fund closes to new capital, and the first investors come first.

04

Access to the research

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.

Where we are

The road to the first assets under management

We publish the schedule because an investor is entitled to know which stage they are talking to, and what still has to happen.

  1. Market and needs research

    in progress

    Analysis of segments, competitors and regulation, plus investor interviews. The survey on this site is part of this stage.

  2. Strategy validation

    next

    Out-of-sample tests, stress conditions, transaction costs and a capacity estimate. This stage sets the strategy's parameters and the ceiling on capital.

  3. Legal structure

    planned

    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.

  4. Track record

    planned

    Building a documented result on proprietary capital or a separate account, before any external capital arrives.

  5. First external assets

    planned

    Launching the fund for the Founding Circle, on the terms agreed at stage one.

Research

This fund is being built on answers, not assumptions

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.

  • 12 questions, about 4 minutes
  • Contact details are optional
  • Aggregate results go back to participants

Questions

Before you ask

Is this an investment offer?

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.

Is the fund licensed by the KNF, the Polish financial regulator?

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.

What does “quantitative fund” actually mean?

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.

What will the entry threshold be?

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.

Do you guarantee returns?

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.

Who is behind the project?

A team combining market and technology experience, working on the project as part of an MBA at Kozminski University. Details and direct contact are on the about page.

Start with the survey

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