Risk disclosure

Investing in equities and derivatives carries risk, including the risk of losing money. This disclosure sets out the risks the platform is designed to surface, not to minimise.

Risks to understand

  • Capital risk

    The value of an investment can fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invested.

  • Market risk

    Prices move with market conditions, company performance and macroeconomic factors.

  • Derivatives risk

    Derivatives can lose value quickly and, depending on the contract, losses may exceed the initial amount committed.

  • Liquidity risk

    Some instruments cannot be sold quickly at the price shown on screen.

  • Concentration risk

    Holding a large share of a portfolio in one security or sector increases exposure to a single outcome.

  • Operational risk

    Market connectivity, payment rails and data feeds can be unavailable, delaying orders or valuations.
