Colorado systematic trading firm brings a strategy long associated with institutional desks to retail investors, as crypto perpetual futures volumes continue to climb
DENVER, Colo. — October 16, 2026 — VectorTraders, operated by VECTOR TRADERS LLC, a systematic trading firm running multi-strategy books in crypto perpetual futures, today outlined the expansion of its managed funding-rate strategies, now available to investors across more than 90 countries with entry points starting at $100.
The firm manages more than $30 million, offering access to funding-rate and basis arbitrage strategies through managed products rather than requiring investors to trade perpetual contracts directly.
Perpetual futures have become among the highest-volume products in digital asset markets. Unlike traditional futures, they carry no expiry date, and a funding payment exchanged between long and short holders every few hours keeps the contract price anchored to spot. For leveraged traders, that payment is a running cost. For strategies positioned to receive it, it is a source of return.
“Funding-rate capture is not a new idea — trading desks have run it for years,” said Michael Bennett at VectorTraders. “What has been missing is a way for ordinary investors to access it without running the trade themselves. Perpetual futures are demanding to trade well. Funding accrues around the clock, leverage is unforgiving, and most people who want exposure to these markets do not want a second job managing positions. That is the gap we work in.”
VectorTraders’ entry-level products are driven by funding-rate arbitrage, which captures the periodic payments exchanged between long and short holders of perpetual contracts, and basis arbitrage, which captures the spread between spot and futures pricing. Higher-yield products are driven by quantitative contract trading.
The firm’s Starter plans begin at $100 with a seven-day term. Investors can fund their accounts using a range of payment methods and supported digital assets, with earnings accruing daily and settled at maturity. Investments above $250,000 are handled through private mandates.
Annualised target returns across VectorTraders’ investment plans range from 7.8% to 43.3%, depending on the plan and investment term. These estimates are based on historical strategy performance, though actual results will depend on market conditions and may differ from past performance. The quoted returns are net of management and performance fees, trading commissions and slippage.
The firm’s strategies focus on funding rate opportunities in crypto perpetual futures markets. Returns can vary as funding rates and market conditions change, and trading takes place on third-party exchanges. As with any investment strategy, performance is not guaranteed and capital is at risk.
