Who Are Our Investors

ICIG was conceived to fill a gap in the non-conventional investment field which mostly serve institutions or ultra-rich individuals. There is no lack of hedge funds and private equities on Wall Street. But those hedge funds and private equities mostly cater to institutional investors or the super-rich billionaires. In most cases, the entry threshold is at least a million dollars. As such, they are virtually inaccessible to many family and individuals who have accumulated respectable wealth yet not enough to get into these high roller clubs. So these funds and equities remain a concept and headline phrases to most average or even elite investors.

Recognizing this opportunity, ICIG was created to cater to these well-to-do families and individuals who are savvy and adventurous enough to seek alternative investments and possibly exotic returns. With a threshold of as low as $50,000, our funds are available to a large number of investors from many professions and background. Our investors include bankers, entrepreneurs, real estate investors, and lawyers.

Many of them also desire to diversify their investment from the conventional mutual funds and ETFs, and allocate a portion of it as risk capital into professionally managed funds seeking outsized returns with low correlation to the equity market.

Despite its focus on individuals and families, ICIG also welcomes funds from certain organizations and institutions such as family funds. Feel free to reach out to us for further discussions.

Why Us

In this country which owns the most powerful global currency and financial engineering is part of the core of Wall Street, there is no lack of investment options including non-conventional alternatives or exotic investment instruments. In the US alone, the hedge fund industry manages a total of $2,948 billion in assets and the managed futures industry $333.7 billon. It is just that they are generally not available to the typical upper middle class families and individuals. Most of these funds are characterized by high net worth requirements, high upfront fees, and often are less liquid.

ICIG was created with the mission to make alternative investments accessible to these upper middle families and individuals who have been overlooked and underserved by Wall Street. Many of them want to preserve and grow their wealth by going beyond the conventional mutual funds and ETFs and allocating a portion of it as risk capital to seek outsized returns with low correlation to the equity market. ICIG seeks to meet such demands and strives to live up to investors’ trust through its ethical, skillful, and steadfast operations in the managed futures market. Please note past performance isn't necessarily indicative of future results. The risk of loss in trading futures can be substantial. Investors should consider whether such trading is suitable for their own financial condition.

How to Start

If you come to this page, you are probably one of the investors who feel the appeal of ICIG. But before entrusting ICIG with your hard earned money, you need do some self-assessment.

  • 1) Take a comprehensive review of your financial status, including all your assets, liabilities, ongoing income and cash flow, and foreseeable expenses (such as the upcoming college tuition in 3 years).
  • 2) Estimate how much money you can put to risky investments (means you can afford to lose without sacrificing your lifestyle).
  • 3) What’s your expected return
  • 4) What’s the level of risk you can tolerate
  • 5) Do you need to have access to this money on short notices

Some of these questions could be complex and intimidating. If you need, feel free to reach out to ICIG to help you with such assessments. ICIG’s consultation is free and completely confidential.

If, after the assessment, you decide to join ICIG’s investor community, we will explain all the details and help you start an exciting investment journey. We look forward to walking the journey together with you.
