Two Traders Launch $5 Million Investment Fund from Discord Chat

URGENT UPDATE: Two innovative traders, Moody Nashawaty and Risley Mabile, have officially launched their own investment fund, Enders Capital, with an impressive $5 million in assets under management. This groundbreaking move was made public today, revealing how the duo transitioned from a casual Discord chat to running a full-fledged investment operation.

The rise of retail trading has shifted dramatically in recent years, evolving from a David vs. Goliath mentality to a more sophisticated approach, with many retail traders now seeking professionalism in their investment strategies. The pandemic-era boom has propelled platforms like Discord to the forefront of this movement, where traders congregate to exchange ideas and capitalize on market opportunities.

Enders Capital, named after the classic sci-fi novel “Ender’s Game,” was founded in 2025 after Nashawaty and Mabile spent years discussing market trends in a dedicated Discord channel. Their journey began in 2022 when they connected through the platform, cultivating a strong partnership based on shared investment philosophies.

“I think we were on the same page pretty much from the beginning,” Mabile stated, recalling the initial conversations that sparked the idea of launching a fund. As their discussions deepened, they recognized the potential to turn their collaborative efforts into a legitimate investment vehicle.

Both founders bring extensive trading experience to the table. Nashawaty, who transitioned from digital marketing, and Mabile, a radiology resident with a background in derivatives trading, are committed to leveraging data-driven strategies to minimize volatility and enhance returns. Their fund is registered under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rule 506(c), making it a legitimate alternative investment fund.

The fund’s operational strategy relies heavily on automation and quantitative analysis, utilizing the technology of the Composer platform. This approach allows them to create resilient financial models across various markets, with recent gains primarily driven by sectors like technology, gold, and emerging markets.

Nashawaty expressed his confidence in the fund’s future, stating,

“I’m actually looking to reduce assets that I have to put more into the fund, because I’ve become more of a believer in what our fund can do.”

The duo aims to attract more investors as they demonstrate the effectiveness of their strategies.

The founders also emphasize the importance of the communities on social media platforms, asserting that many professional and skilled traders are often found within these networks, despite the noise. Mabile remarked,

“We spend a lot of time in those communities, and there is a lot of noise, but some of the most impressively professional people that I have ever met are those I have met through those platforms.”

According to Benjamin Rollert, co-founder and CEO of Composer, the success of Enders Capital could signal a new wave of investment funds emerging from non-traditional backgrounds. He noted,

“Much of the fixed overhead that is required to operate a huge fund will be delegated to AI as models advance, creating a meritocratic environment.”

This shift could democratize access to investment opportunities for savvy retail investors.

As the trading landscape continues to evolve, all eyes will be on how Enders Capital navigates the challenges ahead and leverages technology to forge its path in the competitive investment world. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as Nashawaty and Mabile aim to redefine the future of retail investing.
