⚠️ Risk Warning Notice This notice provides important information about the risks associated with investing in UK stocks and other financial instruments through our platform. Please read it carefully.

1. 

Investing in financial markets, including UK stocks, carries inherent risks. The value of your investments can go down as well as up , and you may receive back less than your original investment. Past performance is  not a reliable indicator  of future results3.

2. Specific Risks Associated with UK Stocks

  • Market Risk: The value of UK stocks can be significantly affected by macroeconomic factors, including UK and global economic conditions, interest rate changes, inflation data, and geopolitical events39.
  • Sector-Specific Risk: Different sectors (e.g., financials, energy, consumer goods, healthcare) face unique challenges and risks. Economic cycles, regulatory changes, and technological disruption can disproportionately affect specific industries10.
  • Company-Specific Risk: The performance of individual companies depends on factors such as management competence, financial health, competitive position, and litigation risks. A company's stock price can fall sharply due to poor financial results or negative news3.
  • Liquidity Risk: Some stocks, particularly smaller companies (small-cap), may have lower trading volumes. This can make it difficult to buy or sell shares at your desired price and time, potentially leading to larger losses or reduced gains8.

3. Regulatory and Political Risk

The UK regulatory environment can change. Political developments  (such as changes in government policy, taxation, or the ongoing implications of Brexit) can create uncertainty and impact UK financial markets and the value of your investments9.

4. Currency Risk (For International Investors)

If you are investing in UK stocks from abroad using a different currency (e.g., USD, EUR), your returns will be affected by> fluctuations in the exchange rate  between GBP and your local currency. An gain on the stock could be reduced or erased by a weakening of the Pound, and vice versa5.

5.  Risk of Loss

You can lose your entire investment in a particular stock or other asset. It is crucial not to invest more money than you are prepared to lose.
