RISK FACTORS

Investors should be aware there are risks to investing in securities of any company, especially if they are private companies not listed on a Recognised Investment Exchange, and there may be little or no opportunity to sell the securities easily should you need to do so. The value of your investments can go down as well as up and therefore you may not recover some, or in extreme cases, any of the value of your initial investment. If you are still unsure, seek the advice of a regulated financial adviser. Investments in these securities are NOT covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) nor would you have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).
