Cara Trading Advisors (Bahamas) Ltd.
provides the only wealth management model that works 100% in your favor.
-
Risk is carefully managed according to your needs
A founding principle of CTA is that effective wealth management requires careful attention to controlling risk. The account process begins with our Confidential Client Questionnaire, which provides CTA with a detailed asset, risk/return, and life-factors profile. Because every CTA account is discreet from any other, each account can be configured and managed to meet individual risk/return criteria.
-
CTA’s goal: minimum 10% to 20% return per year
CTA’s focus on absolute returns through good times and bad sets us apart. Our sophisticated management techniques provide consistent, positive returns in all market cycles and conditions. Our understanding of economic and geopolitical themes allows us to effectively grow your portfolio while closely managing risk.
-
You pay only for successful results
Qualified CTA clients pay fees based only on profit. Our performance-based fee is charged as a percentage of profit. No fees are assessed if account value declines in a given month. To qualify for performance-based fees, SEC rules require that US citizens have a minimum of USD$750,000 in their brokerage accounts, or must declare to CTA a minimum total net worth of USD$1.5 million (including spousal assets). We accommodate US clients who do not yet meet the SEC requirement with a temporary fixed-fee arrangement until they qualify. No fees are charged to accounts for holding cash and cash as T-Bills in order to qualify for performance-based fees. See our Advisory 001 about qualification. Full details regarding fees are in the CTA Discretionary Investment Advisory Agreement, which is one of the account initiation documents available after registration.
Account minimum, regardless of residence:- USD$175,000 / fixed income, forex, equities, options

No conflicts of interest, profit is our only product
Unlike banks and broker-dealers, CTA has no conflicts of interest arising from selling our own financial products. We offer none. We choose from the entire world of trading opportunities. Our decisions are unbiased, focused only on risk assessment and net performance.
-
Your assets remain in your name, you retain control
Security is a primary concern. Your assets are held in your own name, separate from other clients’ accounts. CTA cannot access your funds directly. You always have full control because you always have full account access through an electronic broker. You have the comfort of full regulatory compliance as well as industry and brokerage insurance. Currently, CTA works with Interactive Brokers. For the facts about security, visit Interactive Brokers. To end our relationship for any reason, send us written notice and we will stop trading the account.
Allow us $175k, we’ll show you why CTA is your best choice
No matter where in the world you reside, we invite you to allow CTA to manage your portfolio. Then, compare returns with your current solution. To participate, you simply establish an account with an online broker with whom we have a trading agreement. Online brokers, with their lower commissions, provide the efficient trading and management system for your portfolio.
