mportant note: Remember that Fund II was created to demonstrate that our results were not 'beginner's luck,' but rather a scalable methodology from any starting amount. Also, consider that these charts and the reported balances are derived from effectively closed trades, so the balance shown on the account statement may vary when considering positions that are still open.

👋 Introduction

Hello community, welcome to our monthly update!

On September 30, 2024, Carlos Valderrama decided to start an ambitious project that seeks to change the way we perceive our personal finances.

Carlos has taken the first step to demonstrate that, with artificial intelligence and the right discipline, anyone can transform small savings into large investments.

The premise is simple yet powerful: those small daily expenses—like a coffee or a forgotten subscription—can become the foundation of a solid investment strategy.

🎯 Unprecedented Transparency

Important! Starting this month, we are publishing the account statements detailing all of Fund II's trades (without personal data). As we promised the skeptics, it's no longer a matter of "believing" in our results, but of verifying them directly.

Every trade, every purchase, every sale will be documented so that you can be our external auditor. Trust isn't asked for, it's built with radical transparency, and here it is:

This makes us the first fund in the world that uses Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and Analytics whose results are public and fully auditable, as well as the longest-running experiment in the use of these technologies.

🌟 Brief Analysis

This month marks an extraordinary milestone: Fund I surpassed $2.8 million pesos, representing a monthly growth of $100,107 MXN (3.7% monthly). Meanwhile, Fund II begins its journey with promising results, showing the first signs that our "Friday" strategy is replicable and scalable.

August was particularly volatile in global markets, but our hybrid algorithm (AI + human expertise) successfully navigated the turbulence, consolidating our approach of initial hyper-diversification followed by strategic hyper-concentration.

🏆 Highlights of the Month

Fund I

Astrana Health Inc (ASTH): With an increase of 14.44%
Apple Inc (AAPL): Showing a growth of 5.86%

Fund II ⭐

We are very proud to share that the first trades of Fund II were spectacular:

Terawulf Inc (WULF): he fund's first trade achieved an extraordinary 70.69% 🚀
2x Solana ETF (SOLT): he second trade generated a solid 6.62%

Although these are the results from our first week of operating Fund II, it seems our methodology was not "beginner's luck" but a systematic and reproducible strategy. Now, I can't help but be excited to see what will happen in the next 44 weeks... I'm so nervous.

As always, here you can see the investment breakdown (Now also includes the breakdown for Fund II).

📚 Investment Lesson of the Month

"Consistency overcomes all barriers"

The first return of our Fund II with 70.69% on WULF demonstrates that markets reward patience and discipline. While others look for the perfect "home run," we build systems that identify repeatable patterns and execute them with surgical precision.

The key is not to bet everything on one card, but to protect the original capital while using the profits for high-impact trades. It's the difference between being a gambler and being a systematic investor.
