Capital At Risk / Risk Warning

Please note that capital invested is at risk and you may lose some or all of your investment.

Investments are not regulated by any financial regulator. Returns are NOT guaranteed, and the value of your investment can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest. Security measures are not a guarantee of repayment. Past performance is not a guide for future performance. You should read the offering document in full before investing. Investments are not readily realisable, and you should be prepared to hold them for the full investment term. Summit is not authorised to give investment advice so if you are unsure about anything please seek advice from a regulated advisor.

All investments carry an element of risk, which may stem from their illiquidity, leverage, investment horizon and general risks associated with investments. These risks include capital loss, dilution of shareholder value, that dividends will not be declared, and illiquidity risk due to the absence of a viable secondary market for a particular product. The value of investments may rise or fall due to the volatility of world markets, interest rates or changes in the rate of exchange for the currency in which the investment is denominated. Some investments can experience significant volatility and value fluctuations in a very short space of time, which may present an increased risk of losing your original capital.
