Performance Fees

The Capriole Fund charges a quarterly performance fee, that’s it.

This means that you only have to pay a fee each quarter if we have grown your investment during that quarter, and if your total investment value is higher than any prior High Water Mark. Our fee rates are noted above.

By default, the performance fees are assessed on the US Dollar growth of your investment. Alternatively, you can opt for your performance fees to be assessed in Bitcoin on subscription.

Management Fees

We do not charge a Management Fee. It’s our philosophy and reality: Capriole Investments only makes money when our clients do. 

Yes. All fees are calculated based on performance above the High Water Mark. The High Water Mark is equal to the highest balance of your investment at the end of any prior quarters. If you are a new investor, the first High Water Mark is equal to your initial investment.

Yes. Capriole is proud to give you the choice of having your Performance Fees assessed based on either:

  1. US Dollar value growth, or
  2. Bitcoin value growth.


By default accounting is conducted in USD and performance fees will be based on Option (1).
But if you just want to grow your Bitcoin balance, Option (2) might be for you.

Deposits/Investments

The Capriole Fund accepts new investments once a month.

Withdrawals/Redemptions

Provided at least 14 days’ notice is given, withdrawals can be made once per calendar quarter, at the end of each calendar quarter.
