Potential investors in the funds that are described, or referred to, in this Website should seek their own independent financial advice if they are in any doubt.

You should note that, if you choose to invest in any fund described or referred to in this Website, your capital will be at risk and you may therefore lose some or all of any amount that you choose to invest.

Due to the potential for losses, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) considers this investment to be very complex and high risk.

1. This investment arrangement is unregulated

2. You could lose all the money you invest

3. You (a UK investor) should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) doesn’t protect this type of investment because it’s not a ‘specified investment’ under the UK regulatory regime

The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will not be able to consider complaints related to this firm

4. Traded investments can be complex and high risk

5. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket

A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments.
