What does Burj Al Wasl actually do?
Burj Al Wasl is an AI-driven platform that evaluates trading strategies and manages copy-trading allocations on behalf of businesses holding reserve capital. The system continuously screens strategy performance against a defined risk framework and adjusts allocations according to rules set by your treasury team.
Who is Burj Al Wasl designed for?
Burj Al Wasl is built for finance and treasury teams at businesses that hold operating or reserve capital and want a structured, rules-based approach to strategy selection rather than manual, ad-hoc decision-making.
How does the AI select strategies?
The platform applies a defined set of screening criteria — including historical consistency, drawdown behavior, and correlation to existing allocations — to narrow a pool of candidate strategies. Selection logic and thresholds are configurable so they can align with your organization's risk tolerance.
How is copy-trading executed once a strategy is approved?
Once a strategy passes the screening framework, allocated capital is mirrored into that strategy's positions in proportion to the rules configured for your account. Execution follows the same parameters across all approved strategies for consistency.
What risk controls are in place?
Burj Al Wasl applies configurable risk parameters such as maximum allocation per strategy, drawdown limits, and diversification rules across correlated strategies. These controls are designed to be reviewed and adjusted by your team as your risk posture evolves.
Can we set our own limits and thresholds?
Yes. Allocation caps, risk thresholds, and strategy inclusion or exclusion rules are configurable. The platform is intended to operate within boundaries your treasury team defines rather than making unconstrained decisions.
What reporting and visibility do we get?
The platform provides a dashboard summarizing active strategies, allocation breakdowns, and performance against your configured framework, so your team can review decisions and outcomes on an ongoing basis.
How do we get started with Burj Al Wasl?
The typical starting point is a briefing call where our team walks through your reserve structure and risk requirements. From there, we outline how the platform's configuration would map to your specific setup before onboarding begins.
Is our capital pooled with other clients?
Account structure details, including how capital is held and segregated, are addressed directly during onboarding based on your organization's requirements. We recommend discussing this specifically with our team before proceeding.
Can allocations be paused or withdrawn?
Treasury teams retain control over pausing strategy participation or adjusting allocations within the platform. Specific timing and process details are confirmed during onboarding and documented in your service agreement.
Does Burj Al Wasl guarantee returns?
No. Burj Al Wasl is a strategy selection and allocation tool, not a guarantee of performance. All trading and copy-trading activity carries risk, and past strategy performance does not ensure future results.
How do we contact support if we have further questions?
