General Disclaimer
This website is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation for any security, investment product, or investment advisory service. No such offer, solicitation, or recommendation is made by Bontiva Capital or its affiliates through this website or by any other means to any person in any jurisdiction where such activity would be unlawful.
The information contained on this website has been prepared without reference to any particular investor's investment requirements or financial situation. Recipients of this information should consult their own financial, legal, and tax advisors before making any investment decision.
Regulatory Status
Bontiva Capital LLC is organized as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Illinois. Bontiva Capital may rely on one or more exemptions from registration as an investment adviser under federal and/or state securities laws. Reliance on such exemptions does not constitute a finding by any regulatory authority that Bontiva Capital or its investment activities meet any particular standard of competence or that any regulatory authority has endorsed or approved the investment strategies described on this website.

Risks of Alternative Investment Strategies
Investing in alternative investment strategies, including those pursued by Bontiva Capital, involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors, among others, before making an investment:
- Market Risk: The value of investments may decline due to adverse market movements, including changes in interest rates, equity prices, credit spreads, and volatility levels.
- Strategy Risk: The investment strategies employed by Bontiva Capital may not achieve their objectives, and past performance is not indicative of future results.
- Volatility Risk: Strategies focused on volatility trading are subject to rapid and significant price fluctuations, and losses can be substantial in adverse market conditions.
- Concentration Risk: Portfolios may at times hold concentrated positions in particular instruments, sectors, or markets, which may increase risk.
- Counterparty Risk: Transactions in derivatives and other instruments expose the fund to the credit risk of counterparties.
Leverage and Derivatives Risk
Bontiva Capital's investment strategies may employ leverage and make extensive use of derivative instruments, including but not limited to options, futures, swaps, and other structured products. The use of leverage amplifies both potential gains and potential losses. Derivative instruments are subject to the risk of imperfect correlation with underlying positions, changes in market conditions, and the potential for significant losses in excess of the initial investment.
There can be no assurance that the hedging strategies employed will be effective in mitigating risk. The use of derivatives may expose investors to basis risk, liquidity risk, and model risk, among other factors.
Liquidity Risk
Investments managed by Bontiva Capital may be subject to limited liquidity. Investors may not be able to redeem their investments at the time of their choosing, and redemptions may be subject to lock-up periods, notice requirements, and other restrictions as set forth in the applicable offering documents. Certain positions held by the fund may be illiquid and difficult to value or dispose of in a timely manner, particularly during periods of market stress.
No Guarantee of Returns
There can be no assurance that Bontiva Capital's investment strategies will generate positive returns or that investors will not lose some or all of their invested capital. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The performance of any investment strategy is subject to numerous factors, many of which are beyond the control of Bontiva Capital, including general economic and market conditions, regulatory changes, and geopolitical events.
Conflicts of Interest
Bontiva Capital and its principals, employees, and affiliates may have conflicts of interest with respect to the investment activities described on this website. Such conflicts may include, but are not limited to:
- Allocation of investment opportunities across multiple accounts or strategies
- Personal trading activities of employees and affiliates
- Compensation arrangements, including performance-based fees, that may create incentives to take greater risks
- Relationships with counterparties, brokers, and other service providers
Bontiva Capital has adopted policies and procedures designed to identify and manage potential conflicts of interest. Additional information regarding conflicts of interest is available in the applicable offering documents.
Digital Asset Risks
To the extent that Bontiva Capital's strategies involve digital assets or cryptocurrency derivatives, investors should be aware that digital asset markets are relatively new, rapidly evolving, and subject to unique risks, including:
- Extreme price volatility
- Regulatory uncertainty across jurisdictions
- Operational risks including cybersecurity threats, exchange failures, and smart contract vulnerabilities
- Limited market history and price discovery
- Technology risk, including protocol changes and network disruptions
Tax Considerations
