Performance Not Guaranteed
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Any historical returns, expected returns, or probability projections are not guaranteed and may not reflect actual future performance. Your capital is at risk.
Risk of Loss
Investments offered by Openstone involve a high degree of risk and may result in partial or total loss of your investment. Alternative investments are complex, speculative investment vehicles and are not suitable for all investors. Openstone products are restricted to investors who have filled the appropriateness questionnaire on the platform.
Illiquid Investments
Investments offered by Openstone are illiquid and there is no guarantee that you will be able to exit your investments early. Additionally, investors will typically receive illiquid and/or restricted membership interests that may be subject to holding period requirements and/or liquidity concerns. In the most sensible investment strategy for private equity investing, private equity should only be part of your overall investment portfolio. Further, the private equity portion of your portfolio may include a balanced portfolio of different private equity funds. Investments in private equity are highly illiquid and those investors who cannot hold an investment for the long term (at least 10 years) should not invest.
Risk Summary
Due to the potential for losses, this type of investment can be very complex and high risk.
What are the key risks?
1. You could lose all the money you invest
• If the business offering this investment fails, there is a high risk that you will lose all your money.
• Advertised rates of return aren’t guaranteed. This is not a savings account. If the issuer doesn’t pay you back as agreed, you could earn less money than expected or nothing at all. A higher advertised rate of return means a higher risk of losing your money. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
2. You are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong
The compensation schemes, in relation to claims against failed regulated firms, does not cover investments in unregulated collective investment schemes. You may be able to claim if you received regulated advice to invest in one, and the adviser has since failed.
3. You are unlikely to get your money back quickly
• You are unlikely to be able to cash in your investment early by selling your investment. In the rare circumstances where it is possible to sell your investment in a ‘secondary market’, you may not find a buyer at the price you are willing to sell.
• You may have to pay exit fees or additional charges to take any money out of your investment early.
4. This is a complex investment
• This kind of investment has a complex structure based on other risky investments, which makes it difficult for the investor to know where their money is going.
• This makes it difficult to predict how risky the investment is, but it will most likely be high.
• You may wish to get financial advice before deciding to invest.
5. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket
• Putting all your money into a single business or type of investment for example, is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well.
• A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments.
