I think I have a winning strategy. What can I do with it?

Ok guys, now that I gave you so much help, you can maybe help me with a name for the investment fund that I will set up for this system... be creative, be like water, and give me a supercool name for my system and the fund that I will set up, you know I am great with maths, but not so good with marketing, ok ?

Wish you all a damn good day, yeah, and probably see you all soon in Monaco ! Ok ?

The Callumbus Super Duper Momentum Algo Fund!!
You gotta put algo or quant in, or you won't be able to sell to sheeple eh I mean clients.
 
Fidelity had the Magellan fund managed by Peter Lynch... so why not a Callumbus fund ? I think my fund will do much better than the Magellan by Fidelity, because I backtested it, ok ?

I've found a strategy that seems to work really well. I've been trading it for the past year with excellent results (about 40% return, 10% max drawdown) and it also works well in all the backtests that I've done. It's a mostly passive strategy, following just a few simple rules, holding 3-4 positions for about 6 months at a time on average.

What tickers does it trade? (Please don't say VXX or similar...)

I feel like it would work well for other investors but I'm not sure what form would be best.

I thought of starting a mutual fund, but I don't think I have enough capital or the reputation for that. I thought of prop trading, but that seems mostly oriented towards day traders. I thought of doing a 'friends and family' investment advisor account, but I don't know anyone personally that could or would want to invest enough to be worthwhile.

Am I missing something obvious? I feel like I have a strategy that crushes any mainstream mutual fund/etf, but there's no way for me to offer it to regular investors.

Sample size way way way too small, no one will view one year as nothing more than luck in a bull market. Last 6 month system I back tested was over 50 years sample size, so I could see approx. drawdowns/profits/breakevens. You don't mention if you used dividend stocks and how much of that was in 40%.

Attorneys you will need them to start a mutual fund and registering with each state you plan to attract funds, expensive from the get go. Advertising way expensive as well.

I would just trade it a number of years and backtest it much longer back and especially during chop and down trend years.
