Terms and condition

1. Objectives

It is the goal of Nova Stocks Trade, to help users enter and navigate the cryptocurrency space, and provide tools to help users make their own sound decisions relative to growing their wealth. Services are intended for medium- and long-term investors.

2. Activities

2.1 Account creation

Nova Stocks Trade will create the necessary crypto exchange accounts on behalf of, and with permission of the user. Once account set-up is complete, users are provided with the account credentials and password change instructions, at which point users will have full control over their app. Users are the full and sole owner of their exchange accounts and carry all responsibilities that come with opening, holding, and managing such accounts.

2.2 Asset allocation

Nova Stocks Trade uses dynamic, proprietary algorithms to define and perform portfolio allocation, based on user input. Manual trades or transactions conducted by users may limit Nova Stocks Trade’s account monitoring and reporting ability.

2.3 Fund deposits and withdrawals

Users are responsible for depositing and withdrawing funds to/from their account, however Nova Stocks Trade will provide clear instructions on how to do so.

2.4 Account monitoring and reporting

Nova Stocks Trade will continuously monitor user accounts and provide users with a monthly dashboard with easy-to-understand portfolio and performance details.

3. Fees

3.1 Fee structure

Nova Stocks Trade offers different plans: freemium, and performance fee. The freemium plan is totally free and offers limited functionality.

If you choose the performance fee plan, you pay a one-off set-up fee of Eur 59, after which we won’t charge you anything until you hit 10% profit. The moment that happens Nova Stocks Trade will charge you a 15% performance fee over the realized gains, and the baseline is set to the portfolio value. For example: you invest Eur 5,000 and after a while your portfolio is worth Eur 5,500 (10% profit). You will receive an invoice for the amount of Eur 75 (500 profit * 15%), and the baseline is set to Eur 5,500. To hit 10% again, your portfolio needs to reach Eur 6,050 (5,500 + 10%).

Our customers especially like the no-profit-no-pay model as it means that Nova Stocks Trade only gets paid if the customer wins. We like this also!
