John K asked:
im employing some systematic futures trading mechanics, arbitrage system and models to extract above average returns with minimal drawdowns. about a million dollars under management. track record of about less than a year. Im 21. Do you think banks would be willing to invest if i showed that i was transparent, offered minimal drawdowns and explain the exact nature of the risks, VaR and so on ?

No. Most likely you have not confirmed with standardized return and account protocals. Also, you need a much longer track record. However, it is impressive and may be a good introduction in a job interview at one of the investment houses. Good luck. You are on the right track.
