A five-hundred-seat programme. One time only.
When Aurelis launched in 2026 we opened 500 seats in the Founders Club. Members receive permanent fee benefits, direct access to the partners, and a voice in the firm's direction. We will not open new seats once this cohort fills.

closes when full
Permanent 20% spread discount
A 20% reduction on the published spread for the lifetime of the account, on every product. Does not stack with promotional spreads (we don't run those).
Direct line to a partner
Every Founders Club member has a single named partner as their escalation. They answer their phone. They give an opinion when asked.
Annual product council
One in-person gathering per year. Eight slots on the agenda are owned by Founders. We do not announce a product without their review.
First access to new markets
When Aurelis adds an asset class or instrument, Founders Club trade it for 30 days before general release. Risk-tested by the people who care about not getting burnt.
Quarterly positioning calls
A 45-minute call with the head of research, the head of execution and a partner. Group of 20–30 Founders per session. Discussion, not lecture.
Heritable membership
Founders membership transfers with the account on inheritance or trust restructuring. The seat is the relationship, not the individual.
Who can apply.
Minimum tier
Keystone account or higher. If you are currently on Cornerstone and want to apply, we suggest opening Keystone first and applying within 90 days.
Application
A 20-minute call with two partners. We do not gate on assets — we gate on the conversation. If the firm is the right shape for you, you are in.
Commitment
None contractual. We ask Founders to attend one council per year and respond to product surveys; nobody has been removed for missing either.
What we ask
That you tell us when we are wrong. Loudly, on the record, before we ship the wrong thing. That is the entire benefit of the council.
