PROPRIETARY TRADING · OWN CAPITAL
We trade
our own capital.
Gilaver is a proprietary trading firm. One book — ours. No client money, no mandates, nobody else's quarter to answer for.
About
Every position is funded by the firm. That single fact decides how we work.
There is no redemption calendar, so we can sit in cash for weeks when nothing is worth owning. There is no benchmark to hug, so we are free to be concentrated when concentration is justified — and free to be flat when it is not.
The trade-off is that every loss is our own. That keeps risk sizing honest in a way no risk memo ever does.
- Own capital only 01
- We do not take outside money and we do not manage accounts for others.
- No mandate 02
- Nothing forces us to be invested. Cash is a position we are willing to hold.
- Risk before idea 03
- Position size is decided before conviction is allowed to speak.
Markets
Liquid, listed, and priced in public.
- Equities 01
- Listed shares on developed markets, with a bias toward names deep enough to exit in a bad session.
- Listed derivatives 02
- Exchange-traded options and futures, used to define risk rather than to add leverage for its own sake.
- Horizon 03
- From several days to several quarters. We are not a high-frequency shop and we do not pretend to be.
No performance figures are published on this site. We are not selling a track record.
