10+ Years Market Experience · Your Account, Your Control

Your money. Your account. Your control.

Six things every investor should verify before considering any investment strategy.

Your own brokerage account

Your capital stays in an account at a US-regulated brokerage — in your name, under your control. Vector never holds your funds.

No funds wired to Vector

Your money doesn't move. Vector's technology connects to your brokerage via API. Your funds stay exactly where they are.

Professional oversight

Every strategy is overseen by Maxwell Hines — with 10+ years of market experience and 7 years inside major institutions including AllianceBernstein.

No leverage. No margin.

These strategies don't use borrowed money. You're never exposed to more risk than the capital you've chosen to allocate.

Full transparency

Every trade, every position, every metric — visible in real time on your dashboard. No black boxes. No quarterly surprises.

Disconnect anytime

No lock-ups. No exit fees. No penalties. Revoke Vector's API access from your brokerage whenever you want. Your money, your decision.

What is Vector Capital?

Algorithmic portfolios that outperform the advisor playbook

Instead of a human making decisions based on gut feelings and models from the 1990s, Vector's algorithmic strategies analyze market conditions and execute trades based on data. You select your risk level. The technology handles execution. Max oversees everything.

1

Algorithms, not emotions

Traditional portfolios rely on human judgment — which means human emotion, bias, and limitations. Vector's algorithmic strategies execute consistently, based on data, without the panic selling or rally-chasing that costs most investors real money.

2

Designed for volatility

Most strategies tell you to "stay the course." Vector's algorithms actively respond to changing conditions — particularly during volatile periods. When markets get choppy, the system adapts. It doesn't wait for a phone call.

3

You see everything

No black box. No quarterly PDF. Your dashboard shows every trade, every position, every metric in real time. This is the transparency traditional wealth management has never offered individual investors.

Two strategies. Two markets.

You choose what matches your goals

Each strategy targets a different market and risk profile. Run one or both. You're the decision-maker.

Equities Strategy
Multi-stock portfolio

Algorithmic strategy that trades a diversified basket of US stocks. Algorithmic selection and position sizing based on market conditions, momentum signals, and risk parameters.

What changes when you switch. The details that matter.

Real diversification, not cosmetic. Multiple algorithmic strategies working across different market conditions simultaneously. Not stocks and bonds rearranged to look different.

Volatility is built into the strategy. Most approaches treat market swings as something to endure. Vector's algorithms are designed to adapt during volatile periods — not just survive them.

Real-time execution. When conditions change, your strategies adapt automatically. Not next quarter. Not after a phone call. In the moment.

Risk management is structural. Position limits, stop-losses, and drawdown protection are built into every strategy. Not bolted on as an afterthought.

Stress-tested against real history. Every strategy backtested against decades of market data — crashes, rallies, flash events — before going live. Documented, not theoretical.

Every trade, visible. Live dashboard with every position, every metric, in real time. No more waiting 90 days for a report that raises more questions than it answers.

Fee Structure

Your success shouldn't cost you more

Traditional advisors charge a percentage of your assets. Their fee grows every time your account does. Vector doesn't work that way.

Meet the Founder

10+ years in the markets. 7 years inside major institutions. Then he opened the door for everyone else.

With over a decade of market experience and seven years inside major institutions including AllianceBernstein, Max saw firsthand how sophisticated strategies delivered better risk-adjusted returns — but were gatekept for the ultra-wealthy. Vector Capital is his answer to that gap.

"As a former financial advisor and portfolio manager, I know exactly how the math works when advisors charge 1% per year, and over time, it compounds more in their favor than yours. That never sat right with me. I also know the strategies that sophisticated institutions use to build real wealth, but they're gatekept for the ultra-wealthy. That didn't sit right with me either. So I asked a simple question: why can't everyday investors access institutional-grade strategies without being ultra wealthy or surrendering 1% of their wealth every single year? That's exactly what we've built with Vector Capital."

FAQ

Vector Capital provides algorithmic portfolio strategies — algorithmic systems that analyze market conditions and execute trades based on data. You connect your own brokerage account, choose your strategies, and the algorithms handle execution. Maxwell Hines, with 10+ years of market experience and 7 years inside major institutions, oversees every strategy. You retain full ownership and control of your account at all times.
No. The algorithms handle trade execution. You choose which strategies match your goals — equities, futures, or both — and the technology does the rest. You decide which strategies to run and how much capital to allocate.
Robo-advisors are mostly index funds with automatic rebalancing — a digital wrapper on the same 60/40 strategy. Vector's algorithmic strategies actively respond to market conditions in real time, particularly around volatility. These are institutional-grade algorithms, the kind typically reserved for hedge fund clients, not a set-it-and-forget-it index wrapper.
Yes. All trading involves risk, including potential loss of principal. That's true with any investment approach. Vector's strategies include built-in risk controls — position limits, stop-losses, drawdown protection — but no system eliminates market risk entirely. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Only allocate capital you can afford to lose.
Maxwell Hines is the founder of Vector Capital.

He started Vector to make that same caliber of technology accessible to everyone, with full transparency and professional oversight.
Nowhere. Your money stays in your own account at a US-regulated brokerage, in your name. Vector connects via API to execute trades based on the strategies you've selected. We never hold, transfer, or have withdrawal access to your funds. You can revoke API access at any time.
Vector charges a flat subscription fee — not a percentage of your assets. Your fee doesn't grow as your account grows. No AUM percentage, no performance fees, no hidden charges, no exit fees. Specific pricing is discussed during your consultation. Standard brokerage commissions through your brokerage still apply separately.
Yes. Full backtesting methodology, historical performance data, and risk metrics are reviewed during your consultation. Once onboarded, your dashboard shows live trading activity, positions, and performance — available anytime, not just when someone decides to send you a report.
Yes. No lock-ups, no exit fees, no penalties. Revoke Vector's API access from your brokerage at any time. Your money stays in your account. Your positions remain as-is. It's your account — you're always in control.
