What a high water mark actually changes

A performance fee without a high water mark charges each period's profit on its own. Make 10% in January, lose it in February, make it back in March, and you have paid twice on the same ten percent while ending where you started.

A high water mark stops that. It records the peak your copied equity has reached and only charges on new ground above it. After a drawdown, the recovery back to the old peak is not charged: the fee resumes only once the equity is genuinely higher than it has ever been.

On FinTruvix this is a per strategy term rather than a platform wide rule. Strategists set their own performance fee terms and choose whether a high water mark applies. That means two listings can charge the same headline percentage and cost you very different amounts over a year with the same returns.

Which is why every strategy page states the term before you copy. It shows the fee and whether a mark applies, alongside the Trust, Performance and Integrity scores.

The platform's own economics sit outside this. FinTruvix takes a marketplace fee out of what a strategist earns, and a share of each paid signal subscription. There is no platform fee on the capital in a follower's broker account. Growth partner commission is paid out of the marketplace fee rather than added to what copying costs you.
