Alternative investments often engage in leverage and other investment practices that are extremely speculative and involve a high degree of risk. Such practices may increase the volatility of performance and the risk of investment loss, including the loss of the entire amount that is invested. These investments are usually highly illiquid and generally not transferable without the content of the sponsor.
Investing in cryptocurrency is highly speculative and involves significant risk to capital, as its value is extremely volatile and can fluctuate widely in short periods. It is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, meaning investors may not have access to financial protections, including the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) or the Financial Ombudsman Service. There is also a risk of loss from fraud, cybersecurity breaches, or operational failures within cryptocurrency platforms. Investors should carefully consider whether they can afford to lose the entirety of their investment.
