Rise Above the Rest
In Zignaly, the Z-Indexes are the ultimate recognition for trading excellence. They represent the top-performing services on the platform, those who consistently deliver superior results, manage significant assets, and demonstrate mastery of risk and discipline.
Being part of a Z-Index isn’t something you sign up for. It’s something you earn through relentless consistency, strategic skill, and proven performance. Only a handful of services reach this level, and every position is gained and maintained purely by results.
What It Means to Be in a Z-Index
Z-Index services are the elite of the Zignaly ecosystem. Their strategies manage substantial AUM — often in the millions — and have proven capable of navigating volatility while generating steady, risk-adjusted returns.
Inclusion in a Z-Index brings more than prestige — it unlocks access to institutional-scale opportunities, higher visibility, and a reputation that sets you apart in the investing world.
Additionally, because the platform interface is now designed to highlight these three Z-Indexes as the main investment products, being part of one ensures a constant and growing flow of AUM, as investor attention and capital are naturally funneled directly into them.
The Selection Criteria
To be considered for inclusion, a service must demonstrate exceptional consistency, risk control, and scalability. Meeting the requirements doesn’t guarantee selection — it makes you eligible to compete among the best.
Performance Requirements
Minimum AUM: $25,000
Maximum drawdown ≤ 40% (last 365 days)
Positive performance
Low correlation to existing Z-Index components
Adjusted Success fees.
Success fees are considered when choosing between two identical services with similar metrics and characteristics.
Operational Requirements
Complete and transparent strategy documentation/description
Proven capacity to scale without performance degradation
Strict compliance with risk management
Demonstrated ability to handle large capital inflows/outflows efficiently
Only services that excel across all these dimensions are evaluated for inclusion. And even then, selection depends on relative performance — only the highest-performing strategies enter.
The Evaluation Process
Zignaly continuously monitors all services to identify potential candidates for the Z-Indexes through quarterly reviews and ongoing monitoring. These reviews evaluate factors such as:
Performance vs. benchmark
Risk management consistency
Correlation
Diversification value
Strategy relevance
Volatility
Overall consistency.
Ongoing monitoring also includes performance and drawdown tracking, compliance with operational standards, and market impact and scalability checks.
Even though the maximum allowed drawdown is 40%, strategies with lower drawdowns have a much higher chance of being included in the Z-Indexes. For us, risk is the top priority, followed by profitability — we always prioritize low risk over high returns.
In short, you’re always being evaluated: every drawdown, every profit, every month matters. While performance is important, the most critical factor — and the one often overlooked — is maintaining the lowest possible drawdown.
