important information

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

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

What are the key risks?
1. You could lose all the money you invest

If the businesses you invest in through this Service fail, you are likely to lose 100% of the money you invested in that business.

2. You are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong

Protection from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), in relation to claims against failed regulated firms, does not cover poor investment performance. Try the FSCS investment protection checker here.
‍
Protection from the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) does not cover poor investment performance. If you have a complaint against an FCA-regulated firm, FOS may be able to consider it. Learn more about FOS protection here.

3. You won’t get your money back quickly

Although you will be able to request a withdrawal from your portfolio, there is no guarantee withdrawals will be paid when requested. As investments in unquoted companies are less liquid than listed shares, there could be a significant delay in returning the funds to you. This is more likely to be the cases if the business was also paying other distributions or withdrawals when your request is received, or when the economic or other circumstances make it hard for the business to sell its assets.

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

Putting all your money into a single business or type of investment for example, is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well.
‍
A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments. 5 questions to ask before you invest

5. The value of your investment can be reduced

The percentage of the underlying business that you own through the Service will decrease if the business issues more shares. This could mean that the value of your investment reduces, depending on how much the business grows. These new shares could have additional rights that your shares don’t have, such as the right to receive a fixed dividend, which could further reduce your chances of getting a return on your investment.

For full details of risks, please see pages 3 & 4 of the Brochure.
