Capital Flow Explained

How Your Capital Moves

From the moment you deposit to the moment returns appear in your account — a transparent, step-by-step look at exactly how your money flows through the EdgeNexus ecosystem.

The Golden Rule: We Never Touch Your Money

EdgeNexus is a software platform and capital introduction service — we never take custody of investor funds. All money is held, vetted, and moved by Tesspay, our SEC-regulated banking and escrow partner. Tesspay conducts due diligence on every investor and on EdgeNexus itself before any funds are released. This separation ensures your capital is protected by regulated financial infrastructure at every stage — not by a tech company.

Banking & Custody

We Build the Intelligence. They Protect the Capital.

EdgeNexus is a pure technology layer — an Appointed Technology Provider. All client capital stays on SEC-regulated banking rails, held by our custodial partner TessPay, until you direct it into a pool.

Direct Custody Transfer

Your funds move directly from your bank to TessPay's SEC-compliant escrow rails. EdgeNexus never takes, holds, or processes investor capital at any point.

Self-Directed Pool Allocation

Use the EdgeNexus software interface to review audited trading teams, select your allocation percentages, and authorise TessPay to route funds directly to your chosen investment pools.

Complete Capital Segregation

Proprietary trading teams execute strategies under strict sub-account permissions — they have trading authority, not withdrawal authority. Escrowed principal cannot be accessed by the teams.

Step by Step

Every stage of the process, explained in plain English

01

Onboarding & Compliance

The investor completes KYC/AML checks and professional client classification through Edge Nexus Capital Advisors Ltd, operating under its FCA-regulated Principal partner.

Create your investor account on the EdgeNexus platform in minutes
Complete KYC/AML: email verification, liveness check (selfie), and government ID upload
Professional client classification is conducted through Edge Nexus Capital Advisors Ltd (FCA Appointed Representative) — Elective Professional Clients (£100,000+) or retail-tier access via the SPC fund vehicle (from £5,000)
Electronically sign the Master Investment Agreement governing your investment
No capital has moved yet — your account exists on the software platform only
02

Strategy & Team Selection

The investor selects their preferred strategy blend or individual trading team allocations through the Edge Nexus platform dashboard.

Browse 100+ vetted trading teams — filter by Sharpe ratio, asset class, risk level, and track record
Option A: Pick a recommended blend curated by your dedicated account manager (Conservative, Balanced, or Aggressive)
Option B: Build a custom blend — select exactly which teams receive your capital
Your selection is timestamped and recorded against your signed agreement
Lock-in periods apply (typically weekly) so teams can trade with committed capital
03

Escrow Deposit

Investment capital is wired directly to SEC-regulated escrow partner Tess Pay to ensure independent custody and prevent commingling prior to deployment.

Funds go directly to Tess Pay — our SEC-regulated banking and escrow partner — never to EdgeNexus
Choose your method: card (up to £10k), bank wire (any amount), or cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH, SOL, USDT, USDC + 100 more)
Tess Pay conducts due diligence on you (identity, source of funds, sanctions screening) and on EdgeNexus before clearing funds
Capital is held in regulated escrow and prevented from commingling with EdgeNexus operating accounts
Your confirmed balance updates on the platform once Tess Pay clears the deposit
04

Transfer to Fund SPV

Tess Pay releases and routes cleared funds from escrow into the designated master entity, the Edge Nexus Managed Allocation Fund SPV.

Cleared funds are released by Tess Pay and routed into the Edge Nexus Managed Allocation Fund SPC/SPV
The SPV is a Segregated Portfolio Company that legally ring-fences investor capital per team, preventing UCIS classification
Your signed Master Agreement, KYC records, and subscription documents travel with your funds into the SPV
The SPV is managed by a licensed AIFM with independent custody — never by EdgeNexus itself
Capital enters the pooled structure alongside other investors, ready for allocation
05

SMA Allocation & Dispersal

The SPV allocates capital into dedicated sub-accounts or Separately Managed Account (SMA) infrastructure corresponding to the specific trading team(s) selected by the investor.

The SPV allocates your capital into dedicated SMA sub-accounts matching your chosen team blend
SMA infrastructure means your allocation to each team is tracked separately — never commingled at the team level
Dispersal happens near-instantly once your blend is locked — teams can begin trading immediately
Your specific allocation to each team is tracked, reported, and reconciled individually
Lock-in periods exist because once capital is deployed to a team, it must stay for the locked period so the team can trade with certainty
06

Live Execution & P&L Feed

The chosen trading teams receive trading-only access to generate alpha, while real-time performance, P&L, and NAV stream back to the investor's dashboard.

Trading teams receive trading-only access to the allocated capital — they can execute trades but cannot withdraw principal
Real-time API feeds stream live NAV, P&L, open positions, and trade history to your dashboard for teams with exchange connectivity
For teams without API feeds, our operations team uploads daily or weekly returns
Your Vault balance updates automatically to reflect current NAV — deposits + matched capital + returns
Returns are calculated by the independent Fund Administrator, not by EdgeNexus — ensuring independently verified figures
Withdraw available funds anytime outside lock-in periods — processed back through Tess Pay to your original payment method

Who Manages the Pool

The collective bond isn't managed by one entity — it's overseen by a layered ecosystem of internal teams, independent third parties, and regulated professionals.

Trading Teams

100+ vetted third-party managers who deploy capital into live markets

Prime Brokers

Tier-1 institutional brokers — execution, clearing, leverage, financing

Fund Administrators

Why It Works This Way

Security by Separation

Tesspay holds your money — not us. A tech company can't lose what it never touches.

Full Transparency

Every step is recorded, timestamped, and auditable. Independent administrators calculate your returns.

Institutional for All

Same infrastructure whether you invest £5k or £5M. Prime brokers, auditors, custodians — all included.

Near-Instant Deployment

Once you lock a blend, capital reaches trading teams in seconds via SMA infrastructure.

Structured Liquidity

Weekly lock-in periods give teams trading certainty. Withdraw available funds anytime outside locks.

Independent Verification

Fund Administrators and Big 4 auditors verify every figure — returns aren't self-reported by us.

Your capital never touches a tech company. Start today.
