Melius Cras 2024 Performance Review – A Year of Bold Wins

2024 results

At Melius Cras, our mantra is simple: Invest smart, live bold. In 2024, we didn’t just navigate the markets—we conquered them, delivering a staggering 184% return on equity for our clients. Starting with $5.3 million, we grew our portfolio to $15.1 million, generating $9.8 million in profit. This isn’t just a number—it’s a testament to what aggressive, technology-driven investing can achieve when paired with disciplined risk management. Let’s dive into our 2024 performance, unpack how we did it, and share what’s next for our clients and partners.

A Record-Breaking Year

Our 2024 results speak for themselves:

• 184% Return on Equity: We turned $5,312,004 into $15,085,691 in just 12 months.

Consistent Gains:

• Every month delivered positive returns, averaging 15.33%—a steady climb that reflects our ability to capture opportunities in a volatile market.

65% Win Rate:

• Out of 135 trades, 88 were winners, showcasing our precision in timing and execution.

This growth wasn’t accidental. It was the result of a clear strategy: focusing on high-growth assets, leveraging cutting-edge technology, and balancing bold moves with calculated exits.

How We Achieved This

Our success in 2024 boiled down to three core pillars:

Targeting High-Growth Assets

We allocated 70% of our portfolio to the “Magnificent 7”—Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, and NVIDIA—alongside 20% in the S&P 500 (SPX/SPY) and 10% in the DAX. This tech-heavy focus paid off, especially with NVIDIA, where we rode the AI wave to multiple $100,000+ wins. For example, our trade from $720 to $770 in March netted $100,000, while a June move from $980 to $1,030 added another $100,000. These trades capitalized on surging GPU demand and data center growth, proving our ability to spot trends early.

Technology-Driven Precision

At Melius Cras, we don’t chase trends—we anticipate them. Our advanced tools, from real-time analytics to algorithmic insights, allowed us to time entries and exits with precision. Whether it was capturing NVIDIA’s AI-driven spikes or timing dips in the S&P 500, our tech gave us the edge to stay ahead of the curve.

Disciplined Risk Management

Aggressive doesn’t mean reckless. We limited our max drawdown to 8.5%, a testament to our focus on protecting capital. Our average win ($125,994) dwarfed our average loss ($27,953), delivering a profit factor of 8.44—one of the highest in the industry. Even with 47 losses, each setback sharpened our strategy, ensuring we maximized gains while keeping risks in check.

A Visual of Our Growth

Our equity curve tells the story: a steady upward trajectory from $5.3 million to $15.1 million, with no monthly dips. This consistency is what sets us apart—delivering results our clients can rely on, month after month.

What This Means for Our Clients

For our clients, 2024 was a year of transformative growth. A $5.3 million investment with us grew to $15.1 million, tripling in value while maintaining a low 8.5% drawdown. This balance of high returns and controlled risk is what we mean by “invest smart, live bold.” Our 65% win rate and 8.44 profit factor underscore our ability to deliver outsized returns without exposing capital to undue risk.

Lessons Learned and Looking Ahead

While we’re proud of 2024, we’re not resting on our laurels. Our heavy tech focus paid off, but we’re mindful of sector-specific risks. In 2025, we’ll explore ways to diversify while maintaining our aggressive edge—potentially increasing exposure to emerging markets or alternative assets. We also recognize that a 184% return isn’t sustainable every year. Our goal for the coming year is to target a more conservative 100-120% return, ensuring steady growth while adapting to evolving market conditions.

Transparency is core to our ethos. We had 47 losses in 2024, and each one taught us something—whether it was refining our exit strategy or doubling down on data-driven decisions. This openness builds trust, and we’re committed to sharing both our wins and our lessons with our clients.
