QMC Lets Managers Keep Control of Their Strategy, Execution, and IP

Yes – when a manager brings their strategy on-chain through QMC, they keep full control of their strategy, execution, and intellectual property. QMC only builds and operates the on-chain vault infrastructure around the strategy; it does not take ownership of the strategy, run the trades, or require the manager to rebuild their business.

No. Bringing an established investment strategy on-chain should not require rebuilding the business behind it. QMC provides the infrastructure that connects professional investment managers with on-chain capital, while the manager retains control of three things:

• Strategy — how the portfolio is constructed and managed
• Execution — how and where trades are placed
• Intellectual property — the models, signals, and processes behind the strategy

QMC’s role is limited to infrastructure: it does not replace the manager or dictate how the strategy is run.

QMC structures and deploys a dedicated on-chain vault around the manager’s strategy.

We provide the infrastructure required to make the strategy accessible on-chain, including vault setup, technical integration, reporting, and ongoing operational support.

Managers can continue using their existing brokers, exchanges, custodians, and execution infrastructure where appropriate. There is no need to rebuild an established investment operation from the ground up.

1. The manager brings the strategy

QMC works with established investment managers who already have a proven strategy, a live track record, defined risk processes, and the operational infrastructure needed to manage additional capital. The manager stays responsible for the investment strategy and its execution — QMC does not replace the manager or dictate how the strategy is run.

2. QMC builds the on-chain infrastructure

QMC structures and deploys a dedicated on-chain vault around the manager’s strategy: vault setup, technical integration, reporting, and ongoing operational support. Managers can continue using their existing brokers, exchanges, custodians, and execution infrastructure where appropriate — there’s no need to rebuild an established investment operation from the ground up.

3. Investors access the strategy on-chain

Once the vault is live, eligible investors gain exposure to the strategy through an on-chain investment vehicle. The vault standardizes how investor ownership is represented and how capital flows are managed, while the manager continues running the underlying strategy.

Division of responsibility:

• The manager manages the portfolio.
• QMC manages the infrastructure.
• Investors access the strategy through the vault.

Not everything needs to move onto a blockchain. The following stay within the manager’s existing operating environment — and under the manager’s control:

• Portfolio management and trading decisions
• Risk management
• Compliance
• Fund administration
• Other institutional workflows

Blockchain is used only where it adds meaningful value: capital formation, ownership, transparency, and investor access.

The on-chain layer covers the investor-facing side of the strategy:

• Investor ownership
• Capital subscriptions and redemptions
• Vault accounting and records
• On-chain transaction history
• Strategy and performance information
• Independently verified NAV

The vault’s NAV is independently verified, adding transparency around the on-chain value and a clear link between the underlying strategy and each investor’s on-chain position.

Does QMC take ownership of my strategy or intellectual property? No. Managers keep full control of their strategy, execution, and IP. QMC builds and operates the on-chain vault infrastructure around the strategy — it doesn’t own or run it.

 

Do I need to rebuild my investment operation to go on-chain? No. Managers can continue using their existing brokers, exchanges, custodians, and execution infrastructure where appropriate. There is no need to rebuild an established investment operation from the ground up.

 

Who makes the trading decisions once a strategy is on-chain via QMC? The manager does. Portfolio management, trading decisions, risk management, compliance, and fund administration remain with the manager, off-chain.

 

What does QMC actually provide, if not the strategy? QMC provides the on-chain infrastructure: vault setup, technical integration, reporting, and ongoing operational support, plus the standardized structure investors use to access the strategy.

 

How is investor trust maintained if the strategy stays off-chain? Through independently verified NAV, on-chain transaction history, and vault accounting — all published on-chain — creating a transparent link between the off-chain strategy and each investor’s on-chain position.

• Managers keep control of strategy, execution, and IP – QMC does not replace or dictate the strategy.
• No need to rebuild existing broker, exchange, custodian, or execution relationships.
• QMC’s role is limited to on-chain infrastructure: vault setup, integration, reporting, operations.
• Trading, risk, compliance, and fund administration stay off-chain and under the manager’s control.
• Transparency comes from independently verified NAV and on-chain records, not from moving the strategy itself on-chain.
