Risk Warning

The material on this site is for information purposes only and the products, services, educational signals, securities, investments and funds described may not be available to or suitable for you. Not all educational training techniques and trading and investment management strategies are appropriate at all times. The opinions expressed on this site do not constitute investment advice and you should consult your investment advisor before you make any investment decision.

You should consider the following risks:

• Investment risk: The value and income of any of the securities or investments and the price of shares and the income derived from them, which are mentioned on this site, may fall as well as rise. Investors may not receive the original amount invested in return. Investors should also be aware that past performance is not a guide to future performance.
• Educational training and trading signals: Any site content is for educational training purposes only and should not be relied upon as 100% accurate for any investment purposes.
• Taxation: Statements concerning taxation are based on our understanding of the taxation law in force at the time of publication. The levels and bases of taxation may change. You should obtain professional advice on taxation where appropriate before proceeding with any investment.
• Exchange rates: Funds which invest in overseas securities are exposed to movements in exchange rates. These may cause the sterling value of units to go up or down.
• Debt securities: Investments in higher yielding bonds issued by borrowers with lower credit ratings may result in a greater risk of default and have a negative impact on income and capital value. Income payments may constitute a return of capital in whole or in part. Income may be achieved by foregoing future capital growth.
• Emerging markets: You should be aware of the additional risks associated with investment in emerging and developing markets.
• Unregulated collective investment schemes: Unregulated collective investment schemes operated in offshore centres are unlikely to offer a level of investor protection equivalent to the UK. Such schemes may deal infrequently and may limit redemption.
• Gearing: Should you choose to invest in, with or through any fund range managed by or connected to Alternative Asset Management Limited you should note that some of the investments we may make on your behalf could be in investment companies which use gearing as a strategy, such as futures and forex trading, or invest in other investment companies which use gearing, such as investment trusts. The strategy which the issuer of such securities uses or proposes to use may result in movements in the price of the securities being more volatile than the movements in the price of underlying investments. Such investments may be subject to sudden and large falls in value and you may get back nothing at all if there is a sufficiently large fall.

IMPORTANT RISK WARNING:

Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.

Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown and simulated past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particularly trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk. Variables such as the ability to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses as well as maintaining adequate liquidity are material points which can adversely affect actual real trading results.
