Risks

Although we do not provide personal financial advice you should be aware of the main risks associated with investing in listed equity securities. Some of these risks are outlined below:

a. Overall market risk - This is the risk of loss by reasons of movements in a market sector. These can be caused by any number of factors including political, economic, taxation or legislative. Specific examples include changes in interest rates, political changes, changes in superannuation laws, internal crises or natural disasters. Market risk can be minimized by having a spread of investments across different types of assets.

b. Global risk - This is the vulnerability of an investment to international events or market factors. This would include movements in exchange rates, changes in trade or tariff policies and changes in international or bond markets.

c. Sector risk — The risks associated with an industry’s specific products or services such as, demand for the product or service; commodity prices; the economic and industry cycles; changes in consumption patterns; lifestyle and technology changes, This may be minimized by detailed research to identify quality investments, reviewing their performance and their place in a portfolio.

d. Equity specific asset risk - Risks associated with the specific investment, for example, quality of the company’s directors; the strength of management and key personnel; profitability and asset base; debt level and fixed-cost structure; litigation; competition levels; liquidity of the investment.

e. Timing Risk - The possibility that you enter the market at a bad time, for example, just before a fall in the share market. This can be minimized by not investing all of your funds into the market at one time.

f. Speculative Risk - If an investment is described as speculative you should be aware that the investment could rise significantly but also fall by the same degree. You should not invest in speculative investments unless you understand and accept the risks fully and are prepared to accept any resultant loss.

IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK OF ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT TRADING RESULTS.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. There is risk of loss when investing in stocks, and as such, these investments are NOT suitable for everyone.
