Important information
Risk warnings•
Investment does involve risk. The value of investments can go down as well as up. The investor may not receive back in total the original amount invested.
•
Past performance is not a guide to future performance.•
Rates of tax are those prevailing at the time and are subject to
change without notice. Clients should always seek appropriate tax advice from their financial adviser before committing funds for investment.
•
When investments are made in overseas securities, movements in exchange rates may have an effect on the value of that investment. The effect may be favourable or unfavourable.
•
Investing in alternative assets involves higher risks than traditional investments and may also be highly leveraged and engage in speculative investment techniques, which
can magnify the potential for investment loss or gain.
•
Investments in emerging markets may involve a higher element of risk due to political and economic instability and underdeveloped markets and systems.
•
Please note that bond funds may not behave like direct investments in the underlying bonds themselves. By investing in bond funds the certainty of a fixed income for a fixed period with a fixed return of capital are lost.
•
Shares in AIM companies are likely to be high risk and volatile.
Their value, and the income arising from them, may go down as well as up, and there is the possibility that investors could lose their entire investment. Shares in an AIM company may be illiquid and it may be difficult or impossible to sell them. Investors should take independent investment and taxation advice regarding AIM investments and qualifying tax relief, which can be provided by Smith & Williamson.
•
In relation to any guided architecture investment options, Smith
& Williamson Investment Management (SWIM) is unable to assess or provide advice on the suitability of any product or service for individual circumstances. No consideration has been given to the suitability of any investment or service for the particular needs of any recipient. SWIM will not be responsible to any other person for providing the protections afforded to retail investors or for advising on any investment as a result of using
