Frequently Asked Questions

QuantumEdge AI is an advanced investment platform that combines quantum computing principles with artificial intelligence to analyze financial markets and execute trades with unprecedented speed and accuracy. Our proprietary algorithms can process vast amounts of market data in real-time, identifying profitable opportunities that traditional systems often miss.

Quantum computing allows us to evaluate multiple market scenarios simultaneously (quantum superposition) and identify complex patterns in market data that classical computers cannot detect. This enables:

• Faster analysis of market conditions (1000x speed improvements in some cases)
• More accurate risk assessment through quantum probability models
• Optimized portfolio construction by evaluating millions of potential combinations instantly
• Early detection of emerging market trends through quantum pattern recognition

Yes, we prioritize security through multiple layers of protection:

• All client funds are held with top-tier, FDIC/SIPC-insured custodians
• We use quantum-resistant encryption for all data and transactions
• Multi-factor authentication is required for all account access
• Regular third-party security audits ensure our systems meet the highest standards
• We never take custody of your funds - you maintain full control of your investments

Our minimum investment is $500 for most strategies. However, we offer different account tiers:

• Starter: $500 minimum (access to Quantum Foundation strategy)
• Growth: $10,000 minimum (access to all core strategies)
• Premium: $100,000 minimum (includes custom portfolio construction and dedicated advisor)

We believe in transparent, performance-aligned fees:

• Management fee: 0.9% annually (charged quarterly)
• Performance fee: 10% of profits above our benchmark (only charged when we outperform)
• No hidden fees: No account opening, closing, or transfer fees

Fees are all-inclusive - there are no additional charges for trading, rebalancing, or strategy adjustments.

While traditional robo-advisors use basic algorithms to allocate assets based on Modern Portfolio Theory, QuantumEdge employs:

• Quantum machine learning models that continuously evolve with market conditions
• Neural networks trained on decades of global market data across all asset classes
• Quantum-inspired optimization algorithms that consider thousands of variables simultaneously
• Sentiment analysis that processes news, social media, and alternative data in real-time
• Proprietary risk models that adapt to changing market volatility regimes

We utilize a hybrid approach:

• For certain calculations, we access quantum processors through partnerships with leading quantum computing providers
• Most of our algorithms run on classical supercomputers but use quantum-inspired mathematics
• Our quantum simulations accurately model quantum effects on classical hardware
• As quantum hardware matures, we're continuously migrating more processes to true quantum computation

This approach gives us quantum advantages today while maintaining stability as the technology develops.

Our system operates on multiple timescales:

• Millisecond-level: Market data processing and opportunity detection
• Minute-level: Portfolio risk assessment and micro-adjustments
• Daily: Strategy parameter optimization
• Weekly: Model retraining with new data
• Quarterly: Major architecture reviews and upgrades

This multi-scale approach ensures we capture both short-term opportunities and long-term trends.

Absolutely. We provide:

• Real-time dashboard showing your current holdings and allocations
• Monthly detailed reports with performance attribution
• Trade confirmations for every transaction
• Quarterly webinars explaining market conditions and strategy adjustments
• On-demand access to our investment team for strategy questions

Transparency is core to our philosophy - you'll always know where your money is invested.

Our systems are specifically designed for market stress:

• Quantum risk models automatically increase hedging as volatility rises
• Liquidity sensors shift to more stable assets when markets become disorderly
• Sentiment analysis helps identify panic versus fundamental changes
• During the 2023 banking crisis, our portfolios were down just 2.3% versus 12.8% for the S&P 500

While we can't eliminate all risk, our technology is designed to preserve capital during downturns while participating fully in recoveries.

We support all major account types:

• Individual and Joint Brokerage Accounts
• Retirement Accounts: Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, Rollover IRA, SEP IRA
• Trust Accounts
• Corporate Accounts
• 529 College Savings Plans (coming Q2 2025)

We can also manage existing accounts through our advisor platform without requiring transfers.

Opening an account takes about 10 minutes:

1. Complete our online application with basic personal information
2. Verify your identity (we use secure, automated systems)
3. Select your investment strategy based on your goals and risk tolerance
4. Fund your account via bank transfer, wire, or account transfer
5. Our algorithms immediately begin working to optimize your portfolio

For retirement accounts, the process may take 1-2 additional business days for custodian verification.

Yes, we handle all aspects of account transfers:

• In-kind transfers: We'll analyze your current holdings and recommend which to keep or sell
• Full liquidation: We can sell all positions and reinvest according to your selected strategy
• Partial transfers: Move only a portion of your portfolio to QuantumEdge

Most transfers complete within 5-7 business days. We cover all transfer fees charged by other institutions.

Withdrawing funds is simple and flexible:

• On-demand withdrawals: Request any amount (minimum $100) and receive funds within 2 business days
• Scheduled withdrawals: Set up automatic monthly or quarterly distributions
• Tax-optimized withdrawals: Our system suggests the most tax-efficient assets to sell
• No fees: We never charge for withdrawals or account closures

For retirement accounts, we ensure all withdrawals comply with IRS regulations.

We provide comprehensive tax reporting:

• Form 1099: Reports all dividends, interest, and capital gains (available by February 15)
• IRA Contribution Reports: For retirement accounts
• Realized Gain/Loss Reports: Detailed breakdown of taxable events
• Tax-Loss Harvesting Summary: Shows harvested losses you can claim

All documents are available digitally through your dashboard, and we can integrate with major tax software.
