Apiary Fund released a new service called Fast Track to Funding, which provides new and current traders with one-on-one instruction with one of the company’s head traders to help them get to their funded accounts faster.
 
The Apiary Fund is a proprietary trading fund. Members receive access to trading training and coaching. They learn by trading unfunded practice accounts. When they reach a certain level of trading skill, they receive an actual account and trade using Apiary's money. As they succeed, the fund shares a significant part of the profits they earn with them.
 
The Fast Track to Funding helps traders get to their funded account quicker.
 
“When we first started the Apiary Fund, there was just two of us managing the fund and our new customers,” said Shawn Lucas, head trader and founder of Apiary Fund. “We were able to provide a lot of one-on-one help and support. As we grew, it became much more difficult to provide that level of service. But realizing the value in it, we decided it was time to offer that level of service again to help you get funded – to help you get to the point where you’re successful at the Apiary Fund.”
 
Apiary Fund currently has over 500 funded traders and a few thousand people in the development stages. The goal of Fast Track to Funding is to help those in the development stages get to their funded accounts quicker and more successfully.
 
“You know, trading is hard,” said Lucas. “The skill development that is required to become good is not easy, but with this new process, we hope to guide our traders and make it a bit easier for them.”
 
Fast Track to Funding is available now for current and new customers for a small fee. Participants will join Apiary Fund head traders in small groups to map out exactly how to get through the development and beeline process directly to funding.

Customers buy and sell gold, silver and other metals alongside their Apiary trading activitie

Apiary Fund announced today it is officially a dealer in metal bullion and offers its traders the opportunity to use the company's purchasing power to buy and sell precious metals – silver, gold, palladium, platinum, and others – to hedge their portfolios.
 
People interested in investing in metals should contact Apiary Fund directly. Each investor decides the volume of metal they want to buy and Apiary sells the physical asset to them at a slight premium over the spot market price.
 
"We encourage investors and our traders to consider buying hard assets such as metals to hedge against the volatility of paper assets found in many investment portfolios," said Shawn Lucas, CEO, and founder of Apiary Fund. "Our ability to purchase bullion in bulk allows us to offer metals at a better price than may be available at other locations."
 
Apiary Fund will also buy metals for its own inventory from its traders.
 
"As we deal more and more in metals, we foresee a day when we are buying and selling metals a majority of the time among our thousands of traders," said Lucas. "This provides a strong hedge for our traders as well as the Apiary Fund."
 
For more than a year, Apiary traders traded metal contracts. Today they can buy and sell physical metals. The transaction adds shipping costs of the metal to the buyer’s location.
 
Apiary Fund points out three key reasons to consider investing in metals:

• Leverage: They can tap into the purchasing power of the Apiary Fund to buy gold and silver at lower rates than other bullion dealers.
• Hedging: Traders often have volatile portfolios that continually go up or down based on market conditions. Physical assets such as gold and silver protect their portfolios against this volatility.
• Speculative purposes:  Apiary doesn't recommend buying and selling gold for speculative purposes, but it is available for those purposes if investors want to speculate about the increase in the value of their purchase.

 
Apiary Fund buys and sells in the spot market. As an institutional fund managed by thousands of traders around the world, Apiary employs the same hedging strategies and techniques it teaches its traders. Apiary traders use the purchasing power of the Apiary fund to get better pricing.

OREM, Utah, Sep. 27, 2017 – The Apiary Fund announced today a new program to extend account membership to family members of their traders. Available now, The Family Plan gives up to four family members the same benefits and opportunities to become Apiary Fund traders.
 
"Many family members of our customers want to become traders themselves," said Shawn Lucas, CEO, and founder of Apiary Fund. "With input from our traders, we determined it was a good time for us to offer a membership plan with reduced rates for family members."
 
The Family Plan works similarly to a mobile phone family plan. The primary member pays the standard monthly fee of $97 to access all the features and benefits the Apiary Fund provides. Each added family member pays a monthly membership fee of only $47 per month.
 
The Apiary Fund is a proprietary trading fund. Members receive access to trading training and coaching. They learn by trading unfunded practice accounts. When they reach a certain level of trading skill, they receive an actual account and trade using Apiary's money. As they succeed, the fund shares a significant part of the profits they earn with them.
 
Family members using The Family Plan, receive all the benefits and features the primary account holder receives. They receive their username, password, and their account. When they qualify, they receive a trading account of $2,500, $5,000, or more that they use for live trading. They also take part in shared profit, which can be 60 to 80 percent of the gain they make from their trading.
