Past performance: Past performance is no indication of future results and share prices and their values can go down as well as up.

Tax reliefs are not guaranteed: Tax reliefs depend on individuals’ personal circumstances and minimum holding periods, and may be subject to change.

You may lose money: An investment in smaller companies is likely to be higher risk than other investments. Investors’ capital may be at risk and investors may get back less than their original investment.

Long-term investment: An investment in the Service should be considered a long-term investment.

Potentially illiquid investment: Private trading company shares are illiquid. They are characterised by significant spreads and low trading volumes. It may prove difficult for investors to realise immediately or in full proceeds from the sale of such shares.
