Investment Risks
Last updated: 04.04.2025
1. Introduction
Investing through Global Investment Connect offers the potential for attractive returns, but it also involves various levels of risk. This page outlines the key risks associated with investing, helping you make informed decisions. Understanding these risks is essential before committing your capital.
2. Capital at Risk
Your investment may not be returned in full or in part. All investments carry the risk of loss, including the total loss of capital. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and there is no guarantee of profit or protection against loss.
3. Liquidity Risk
Investments made through our platform are generally not liquid. This means you may not be able to sell or exit your investment before its maturity or exit event. You should only invest money you can afford to have tied up for an extended period.
4. Market and Economic Risk
The performance of your investment may be affected by external market conditions such as inflation, interest rates, geopolitical instability, or economic downturns. These events can influence the value of your investment even if the underlying business is well-managed.
5. Business Risk
Investing in startups, real estate, fintech, mobility, or online businesses involves inherent business risks. Companies may fail due to poor management, lack of market demand, competition, or operational issues. This could result in financial losses.
6. Default Risk
If you are investing through crowdlending or debt instruments, there is a risk that the borrower may not repay the loan, either partially or fully. Although we conduct due diligence, we cannot eliminate this risk entirely.
7. Legal and Regulatory Risk
Changes in law, taxation, or regulation can affect your investments. Regulatory changes may alter the way your returns are taxed or the conditions under which a project can operate, potentially reducing expected returns.
8. Technology and Cybersecurity Risk
As a digital investment platform, there are risks associated with system failures, data breaches, and cyber-attacks. We employ strong security protocols, but no system is entirely immune from technical risks.
9. Diversification Does Not Eliminate Risk
While diversification can help reduce risk, it does not eliminate it entirely. Even a diversified portfolio may suffer losses in unfavorable market conditions or in the event of multiple defaults.
10. You Are Responsible for Your Decisions
Global Investment Connect does not offer financial or investment advice. Any decisions made through our platform are solely your responsibility. We encourage you to consult with a licensed financial advisor before investing.
11. Risk Acknowledgement
By using our platform and investing in any opportunity presented, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the risks involved. You also agree that you are capable of bearing these risks and making independent investment decisions.
