The SolomonFX Advantage managed account is sure to attract the attention of today's progressive investor. Built on a model that embraces moderate levels of risk, the Advantage account offers targets of consistent monthly gains with minimal draw-down. If you are looking for a new alternative to the vehicles found in the equities, commodities and securities markets, a FOREX Advantage account may be the answer. Unlike some FOREX managed accounts As a member of the SolomonFX Millennium family of managed accounts, the Advantage account is designed to leverage the largest financial market in the world that results in strong performance for the new millennium. Our traders employ a proprietary method of trading to hedge a position's risk exposure. Trades are concentrated on the EUR/USD; the most heavily traded vehicle of the FOREX market. This stable currency pair offers investors low trading costs allocating more of the position to the trade instead of fees. As with all of our Millennium Managed Accounts, Advantage investors have personal access to view their account 24/7. Which means that, unlike hedge funds and other pooled money funds where you hand your money over to an individual and hope for the best, you remain in control of your account by direct relationship with MIG Bank who holds your account. You merely allow us trading privileges on your account which you can revoke at any time. No mysteries, no secrets, no surprises. In addition, to make the invitation even more appealing we have no restrictions on deposited monies and a low initial investment of just $15,000 USD to get started. Start taking advantage of what the FOREX market can do to build your portfolio and open an Advantage account today!

Attributes of the Model
Clean, efficient and robust are three words that can be used to explain the approach of this model. Trading is messy by nature. There is no 100% reliable way to predict which direction price will go or how far. For most traders this results in trades open for periods of time longer than initially thought and much speculation of how to handle them. The method used in the Advantage account uses realistic targets and methodology that does not require lingering trades to remain open in order to book a profitable position. This produces a clean history of trades which did not remain open on the books for extended periods of time. The effectiveness of most strategies will vary with the ever-changing market conditions. This is normal in trading. However, some approaches are less affected by these conditions than others. This is one of the more attractive features built into the model of Advantage account. While it is impossible to completely disassociate performance from market volatility, the mechanical approach used in this account is capable of efficiently profiting from quiet markets when most traders find their methods to be inadequate without sacrificing performance in markets of normal volatility. Every successful trader develops a plan that goes into action when things go against them. It is what keeps their account alive. The model of the Advantage account has a unique adaptive approach to profit from situations when the outcome is different than what was expected. The robustness of this approach allows Advantage investors to not be concerned with the all-too-common unexpected changes that happen in the market. By using a comprehensive hedging technique changes in the market can be compensated for and turned into profits. Carrying it Over SolomonFX knows that results of a model are only useful if they can be carried over into the managed account. Our traders understand the necessity and importance of consistency and discipline in trading a managed account using the same model they demonstrated on a smaller account. As the performance will show, the same methods and techniques used to create the performance in the model in 2009 are being used every day in the trading of the Advantage account producing the same type of performance with investor's accounts today. As an Advantage investor you can be assured that the methods used in a managed account will remain consistent over time so that you can have confidence of what to expect in the future.

As an established Swiss bank, our operations are regulated and supervised by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). This independent authority protects the clients of financial markets, namely creditors and investors, thereby strengthening confidence in the smooth functioning, competitiveness and integrity of Switzerland’s financial center. * Excerpts used from the MIG Bank website. Visit www.migbank.com for more information. The Position of SolomonFX Investors need to have confidence in the security for their capital. SolomonFX is merely the trader on a manged account by the investor's permission and as such we have no direct control on the security of deposited funds with any broker. However, of all the possible countries in which to deposit funds, Switzerland has historically shown itself to be among the safest and most stable financial environments. Swiss banking policies differ from those of the US, namely, the funds on deposit in a US bank are considered part of its working capital making it necessary for banks to offer FDIC insurance on deposited funds. Swiss banking regulation does not allow its banks to claim funds on deposit as part of its working capital thereby providing an extra layer of protection in the event of default. For these reasons and those above, SolomonFX feels confident recommending MIG Bank and banking institutions regulated by FINMA and the Swiss banking community to its clients for the purpose of investment in our Advantage Managed Account held with MIG Bank. |
The following fees are collected on a monthly basis: Performance Fee = 30% of monthly profits above the account's high watermark Administration Fee = 0.167% regardless of profits (this is equivalent to 2% annually) No other fees are charged to an account. Fees are agreed upon by the investor at the time of application by way of the MIG PICPF form and the SolomonFX Trading Agreement. Fees are automatically calculated and withdrawn by MIG usually within 10 days of the end of each month. The high watermark is defined as the highest month's ending equity on the account.
Monthly Fees Calculation
MIG's method of calculating monthly fees on an individual account are as follows:
If no profits were realized then only Maintenance Fees are assessed on the Ending Month's Equity and the high watermark is set at the previous Ending Month's Equity. If there has been a profit made then fees will be calculated as follows at month's end: Monthly Fees = {(Total Cumulative Profits - Current Floating Trades) x (Performance% + Maintenance%)} - Total Performance Fees Paid-to-date |
All investors should be aware of the risks of trading. We have provided the Risk Disclosures from three parties; MIG Bank - who will hold your account, SolomonFX - who will trade your account and the National Futures Association (NFA) - the most prominent regulatory agency in the US for US-based clients. We encourage you to read each of them before choosing to invest in one of our accounts. You should be aware that SolomonFX is not currently a member of the NFA, however we are endeavoring to do so in the near future. In an effort to disclose current performance information of our accounts at what will be the required standard in the future, we have chosen to use much of the same standards set forth for CTA members by the NFA. To better understand how those standards affect the reporting process we have included two additional tabs below: Methods of Calculation and Definitions that will assist the investor in better understanding the NFA methods we implement and how they are defined by the NFA.

SolomonFX offers its Millennium Advantage clients a solid incentive for referrals. As a client, if you refer our Mananged Accounts programs to a friend or family member who becomes a client you will receive a referral fee proportional to their deposit and monthly performance. There is no maximum number of referrals, so you can refer your brother; your mom's friend and your cousin's 15 nephews and receive a referral payment for each of their accounts! What makes this program even better is that you continue to receive the payment as long as your referral maintains their deposit with us.
For more information on how you can receive the benefits of our referral program please contact Gerald Sharpe by email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . We look forward to meeting your referrals!
Here's How It Works
Let's calculate how this would work for a referral depositing only $50,000. Referral fees begin after the first full month of deposit, so assuming the $50k is deposited on the 1st of the month you would be eligible for the fee at the end of the first month. Your payment will be 5% of the months performance applied to the deposited monies. Referral Fee = 5% x Month % Gain x Total Deposits Let's say that in the first month the account made 8%. Referral Fee = .05 x .08 x $50,000 = $200! Assuming the perforance continues; in a year you would have made $2400 just for referring one client to us! And if your referral were to double their deposited funds later on your referral fee would double!

whose returns experience extreme month-to-month swings in performance, the Advantage account has controlled swings that have been limited to 2-3% one month to the next. The methodology employed emphasizes capital preservation while harnessing the strength of daily fluctuations in the Foreign Exchange (FOREX) Market which continue to draw the attention of many traders and investors alike.
Models are built to give everyone an idea of what to expect from the the full-scale version once it is up and running. As part of the Millennium family of Managed Accounts, SolomonFX requires the demonstration of a method of trading by way of modelling it in a smaller account before we will create a larger managed account around it. The Advantage Managed Account was built on live trading results for 8 continuous months with real money. This provided us with a solid level of confidence in the approach as the model clearly showed how the proprietary approach performed in a series of changing market conditions between January and August of 2009.
In today's changing regulatory climate it is imperative that a managed account be associated with a FOREX broker that can provide both the services needed and a high level of security to the investor and their capital. SolomonFX has been working with MIG since February of 2009 once it became apparent that US brokers would face difficult challenges due to changes in US regulation. At that time, MIG was a Swiss FOREX Bokerage offering low transaction costs, clean execution and competent back-end services. Today MIG provides the same excellent products and services for both FOREX traders and investors, but with the added benefit of being the first Swiss broker to acquire Swiss bank status.
The Millennium Advantage Managed Account employs a standard fee structure common among many FOREX managed account programs.
SolomonFX is committed to transparency and excellence in our managed accounts. We have included this section of the website so that prospective investors have the privilege of reviewing not only the latest performance information of the account but also the relevant additional information related to the calculations of performance so that a more fully informed decision can be made.
