Legal Disclaimers and Disclosures

Last Updated: May 07, 2024.

1. General Information

This website is owned and operated by GoldenTree ONE LLC (hereinafter referred to as “the Fund”). The Fund is an AI/ML-based incubator hedge fund focused on the research, development, and validation of proprietary algorithmic trading strategies in global currency (foreign exchange) and commodities markets. The Fund is currently in the incubation phase, meaning it is refining its strategies through rigorous backtesting, model development, and limited live trading with proprietary capital

The content of this website is intended to provide general information regarding the Fund’s business model, objectives, and technological approach, particularly its use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques in systematic trading. It does not constitute an invitation or offer to invest in the Fund, nor does it intend to provide specific investment, financial, legal, or tax advice to any individual or entity. Visitors should not treat the information contained herein as a recommendation or endorsement to engage in any financial transaction.

1.1. Overview of Incubation Process

As an incubator hedge fund, the Fund focuses on a critical phase of strategy development and validation prior to launching for external investment. This process involves a series of key steps, including:

1.2. Incubator Status and Limited Availability

It is important to note that the Fund is not currently accepting capital from outside investors. The Fund is in the process of refining its strategies and building an operational infrastructure to ensure that its trading models are fully optimized and aligned with the Fund’s long-term objectives. This incubation phase is expected to be a critical period for refining risk management frameworks, improving trading execution, and ensuring compliance with future regulatory requirements.

Once the Fund exits the incubation phase and becomes open to external investors, qualified investors (such as accredited investors under U.S. securities laws) will be able to participate, subject to specific regulatory approvals and offering documentation. Until then, no securities or investment opportunities are being offered or solicited on this website.

1.3. AI/ML-Driven Approach

The Fund’s strategies are rooted in cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. These technologies are employed to analyze patterns, detect anomalies, and generate actionable insights from complex and high-dimensional datasets. AI/ML models, particularly deep learning and reinforcement learning algorithms, are pivotal in the Fund’s strategy formulation. This approach allows the Fund to pursue a data-driven, systematic macro trading strategy, seeking to capitalize on inefficiencies in global currency and commodities markets.

1.4. Strategic Objectives

The Fund’s primary objective is to generate consistent risk-adjusted returns through the deployment of its AI/ML-driven systematic strategies, with a focus on capturing opportunities across foreign exchange (FX) and commoditiesmarkets. These strategies are designed to:

The Fund’s technology-driven strategy enables the ability to process vast amounts of real-time and historical market data, using proprietary models to uncover macro trends, price anomalies, and momentum signals across the global currency and commodities markets.

1.5. Non-Solicitation Statement

It is important to reiterate that this website does not, and is not intended to, offer or solicit investments in the Fund at this time. The information contained herein should not be construed as an attempt to sell or promote any securities or financial products in any jurisdiction where such offers or solicitations are unlawful. The Fund’s legal status and registration may vary depending on the jurisdiction and regulations under which it operates.

Any future offerings of interests in the Fund, if and when made, will be conducted in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations governing hedge fund offerings, including but not limited to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other relevant U.S. federal and state securities laws. Such offerings will only be made to qualified investors as defined by regulatory agencies, such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), or other regulatory bodies, depending on the jurisdiction.

1.6. No Guarantee of Future Performance

Any references to the Fund’s performance, potential returns, or historical data are purely hypothetical or simulated at this stage. Given the nature of an incubator fund, any past or present performance metrics do not reflect actual trading performance, as the Fund is still in its development phase. Furthermore, the use of simulated data and hypothetical returns carries inherent limitations, and there is no assurance that the strategies will achieve their intended objectives once deployed in live markets.

Investors or interested parties should recognize that investing in hedge funds, especially those that rely on AI/ML and systematic trading strategies, carries inherent risks, including potential losses. As such, the Fund cannot guarantee any specific results or future performance, and prospective investors should consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

3.3. No Reliance on Hypothetical or Simulated Performance Data

As an incubator hedge fund, the Fund may present hypothetical, simulated, or backtested performance data for illustrative purposes. These performance figures are based on historical data and simulations using proprietary AI/ML models and do not represent actual trading results. Such information is provided to offer insight into the potential performance of the Fund’s strategies but should not be relied upon as a guarantee of future performance.

Investing in hedge funds, including those that utilize AI/ML-based systematic trading strategies, involves a high degree of risk, including the potential loss of the entire investment.

There can be no guarantee that the Fund’s strategies will achieve their investment objectives, and investors should be prepared to lose some or all of their investment capital.

AI/ML models, while powerful tools for analyzing data and generating trading insights, are not foolproof and can lead to unintended consequences or underperformance in volatile or unpredictable market conditions. The use of leveraged instruments, derivatives, and short positions in the Fund’s strategies may exacerbate these risks. Investors should carefully consider their own risk tolerance and investment horizon before making any decisions based on information presented on this website.

4. Risk Warnings

Investing in hedge funds, including the Fund, particularly those employing AI/ML-based systematic macro trading strategies, involves a high degree of risk. Potential investors must carefully consider the substantial risks associated with these types of investments before making any financial commitments. This section provides a detailed outline of the primary risks involved, but it is not exhaustive. There are numerous factors that may negatively impact the performance of the Fund or result in the complete loss of an investor’s capital.

4.1. General Investment Risk

Investments in hedge funds, especially those utilizing quantitative, algorithmic, and systematic trading strategies, are highly speculative. The Fund’s trading strategies involve the risk that market prices will move in directions that are unfavorable for the positions held. This can result in significant losses that may exceed the amounts initially invested. Hedge funds, including the Fund, are generally considered suitable only for sophisticated investors who are willing and able to bear the risk of substantial or total losses.

Hedge funds often employ complex trading techniques, including the use of leverage, short selling, and derivatives, which amplify both potential gains and losses. These strategies can be volatile and may result in unexpected outcomes, particularly in rapidly changing market environments. Prospective investors should be aware that there is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its investment objectives or achieve positive returns.

4.2. AI/ML Model Risk

The Fund’s reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms as part of its systematic macro trading strategy introduces specific risks related to the performance and reliability of these models. While AI/ML models can process large datasets and identify patterns in ways that may not be accessible through traditional methods, they are not immune to errors, biases, or limitations. The following risks should be considered:

4.3. Leverage Risk

The Fund may utilize leverage as part of its investment strategy. Leverage involves borrowing capital or using financial derivatives to increase exposure to markets or assets. While leverage can enhance potential returns, it also significantly increases the risk of loss. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses, and the use of high leverage in volatile or declining markets can result in large losses that exceed the original investment.

The risks associated with leverage include:

4.4. Derivatives Risk

The Fund may utilize derivatives, such as options, futures contracts, swaps, or other financial instruments, to gain exposure to specific markets or hedge against market risks. Derivatives can be highly complex instruments, and their use involves several risks, including:

4.5. Liquidity Risk

Hedge funds, including the Fund, may invest in assets that are illiquid or subject to restrictions on resale. Illiquidity can arise when an asset cannot be sold quickly without significantly affecting its price. In some cases, the Fund may invest in instruments that do not have an active secondary market, making it difficult or impossible to exit positions without incurring substantial losses or delays. This can exacerbate losses in declining markets, where the Fund is unable to quickly liquidate positions to mitigate risk.

Moreover, hedge funds may impose lock-up periods or other restrictions on withdrawals, limiting an investor’s ability to redeem their investment. Investors should be aware that they may not have immediate access to their capital and that liquidity constraints may impact the Fund’s ability to respond to changing market conditions.

4.6. Market Risk

The success of the Fund’s investment strategy depends on its ability to anticipate and respond to changes in global markets, including the foreign exchange (FX) and commodities markets. Markets can be highly volatile and unpredictable, and a wide range of factors, including economic indicators, interest rates, geopolitical events, regulatory changes, and market sentiment, can influence the performance of the Fund’s positions.

4.7. Operational Risk

Operational risk refers to the potential for loss resulting from failures in internal processes, systems, human error, or external events. The Fund’s operations rely on various technological platforms, data providers, execution systems, and third-party service providers. Any failure in these operational components could negatively affect the Fund’s performance.

4.8. Regulatory and Legal Risk

The Fund operates in a highly regulated industry and is subject to various laws, rules, and regulations imposed by government agencies and regulatory bodies, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and National Futures Association (NFA) in the United States. Changes in regulations or laws governing hedge funds, AI/ML technologies, or financial markets could adversely affect the Fund’s operations, strategies, and performance.

Additionally, the Fund may face legal risks related to compliance violations, contract disputes, or litigation. Any regulatory or legal action taken against the Fund or its service providers could result in financial penalties, reputational damage, or operational disruption.

4.9. Tax Risk

Investors should be aware of the potential tax implications associated with investing in hedge funds, which can be complex and vary depending on an investor’s individual tax situation. Hedge fund investments may generate income that is subject to capital gains tax, income tax, or other taxes, and the tax treatment of hedge fund distributions can differ based on local laws and regulations.

The Fund does not provide tax advice, and investors should consult with qualified tax professionals to fully understand the tax implications of investing in the Fund.

4.10. Risk of Loss

It is essential to emphasize that an investment in the Fund involves the risk of loss, including the possible loss of an investor’s entire investment. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s trading strategies, including its AI/ML-based systematic macro strategy, will be successful, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Investors should be prepared to bear the full risk of their investment.

The Fund does not provide tax advice, and investors should consult with qualified tax professionals to fully understand the tax implications of investing in the Fund.

This section outlines key aspects of the regulatory framework that governs the Fund’s operations, providing potential investors with a transparent understanding of its regulatory status and compliance obligations.

5.2. Exemptions from Registration

Many hedge funds, including those like the Fund, may be structured to qualify for specific exemptions from regulatory registration and reporting requirements. These exemptions are critical for enabling hedge funds to operate with greater flexibility while maintaining compliance with applicable laws. Common exemptions include:

It is important for potential investors to note that exemptions from registration do not imply a lack of regulatory oversight. Even when exempt, the Fund remains subject to anti-fraud provisions, record-keeping obligations, and other legal and regulatory standards.

5.3. Regulatory Oversight and Compliance

Despite potential exemptions from certain registration requirements, the Fund operates within a regulated environment and adheres to the following key compliance frameworks:

5.4. Ongoing Regulatory Changes

The regulatory environment for hedge funds, particularly those involved in AI/ML-based systematic macro trading, is subject to frequent changes. Technological advancements, market disruptions, and global financial crises often prompt regulatory bodies to review and revise existing rules or introduce new regulations. The Fund continuously monitors legal and regulatory developments to ensure that its operations remain compliant with all applicable laws.

Any material changes in the regulatory framework that could impact the Fund’s operations or the rights of investors will be promptly communicated to all investors and reflected in the Fund’s legal documents.

8. Tax Considerations

Investing in the Fund involves significant tax considerations that may vary depending on the jurisdiction and personal circumstances of each investor. Tax laws are subject to change, and it is important that each investor seeks independent tax advice tailored to their specific situation. The Fund does not provide tax advice, and the following information is for general informational purposes only.

8.1. Taxation of Hedge Fund Investments

Hedge funds, including the Fund, are typically structured to optimize tax efficiency; however, investors should be aware that various tax consequences can arise based on the nature of the investments, the legal structure of the Fund, and the investor’s residency or citizenship status.

U.S. Federal Income Tax

For U.S. investors, the tax treatment of income and gains from hedge fund investments will generally depend on the specific type of income (e.g., interest, dividends, capital gains, etc.) earned by the Fund and allocated to investors. Common tax treatments include:

The Fund’s allocations of income, gain, and loss to U.S. investors are typically reported on Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) for partnerships. Investors will use this form to report their share of the Fund’s income on their individual tax returns. However, U.S. tax treatment of income may be complex, particularly if the Fund engages in certain types of financial transactions, such as derivative trading, which may trigger specific tax rules.

Non-U.S. Investors

For non-U.S. investors, the U.S. tax implications can differ substantially, depending on whether the investor is considered a resident or non-resident for tax purposes. Non-resident investors may be subject to U.S. withholding tax on certain types of income, such as:

In addition, non-U.S. investors may be subject to FIRPTA (Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act) if the Fund invests in U.S. real estate or real estate-related securities.

Non-U.S. investors should consult with a tax advisor to understand the potential withholding tax obligations, as well as any available tax treaty benefits that may reduce withholding rates. Furthermore, non-U.S. investors may have tax reporting obligations in their home countries on income earned from the Fund.

State and Local Taxes

In addition to federal taxes, investors may be subject to state and local taxes depending on their place of residence. Many states impose taxes on capital gains, interest, dividends, and other forms of income. Investors should review their specific state tax laws and consult with a tax professional to understand their potential liabilities at the state and local levels.

For example, residents of states with no income tax, such as Florida, may not owe state tax on income earned from the Fund, while residents of states with high income taxes, such as California or New York, may be subject to additional tax liabilities. It’s also important to note that some states may have different treatment of hedge fund allocations, such as recognizing capital gains as ordinary income.

8.2. Foreign Taxes

Investors residing outside the U.S. may also be subject to foreign tax obligations on income earned from the Fund, even if that income is sourced from the U.S. Investors may need to report their share of the Fund’s income in their home countries and pay taxes according to local tax laws. These tax obligations may include:

8.3. Tax Deferral and Timing Considerations

Investors in hedge funds often experience deferral of tax obligations, as the tax treatment of gains or income may not occur until distributions are made or an investor’s interest in the Fund is sold or redeemed. However, investors should be mindful of several key timing considerations:

8.4. Tax-Efficient Structures

The Fund may seek to utilize tax-efficient investment structures to optimize tax outcomes for investors. Such structures might include:

However, the efficacy of such structures can vary based on individual investor circumstances, the nature of the investments, and changes in tax laws. Investors should consult tax advisors to evaluate the impact of the Fund’s structure on their personal tax situation.

8.5. Partnership Tax Treatment

The Fund is likely organized as a limited partnership, meaning that it is not taxed as an entity at the federal level. Instead, the Fund’s income, gains, losses, and deductions are passed through to individual investors based on their pro-rata share of the Fund’s performance. This tax treatment differs from that of C corporations, which are subject to double taxation (corporate tax at the entity level and dividend tax at the shareholder level).

8.6. Tax Reporting and Compliance

Investors in the Fund are responsible for ensuring compliance with all relevant tax laws, including filing accurate and timely tax returns. The Fund may provide certain documentation, such as:
