Disclosures

Risk Warning

Please note that this notice does not cover all the risks associated with the financial products offered by Aramid Capital Limited. It is important to understand that you should not engage in any investment or financial product unless you fully comprehend its nature and the extent of your exposure to risks. You must also ensure that the product aligns with your financial situation and goals. Different financial products carry various levels of risk and exposure to different factors.

The investments we provide are subject to fluctuations in the financial markets, which are beyond our control. As a result, the value of your investments, as well as any income derived from them, may fluctuate, and there is a possibility that you may receive less than the amount initially invested. Past performance should not be viewed as an indicator of future results.

Trading Risks

Investing in products offered by Aramid Capital Limited may lead to both gains and losses, regardless of whether they are made in line with any advice or recommendations.

Leverage and Trading Risks

The use of leverage increases the potential for both gains and losses. In volatile market conditions, you may be required to meet margin calls frequently, and failure to do so could result in your positions being closed out, with any resulting loss being your responsibility. Market fluctuations, particularly during periods of economic or market instability, may have a more significant impact if your positions are leveraged.

Speculative Nature of Trading

Speculative trading may not be suitable for all investors. You should carefully assess whether trading in leveraged products is suitable for your financial situation and objectives, and consider seeking independent financial advice.

No Recommendations

Aramid Capital Limited does not take into account the individual investment goals, financial situation, or specific needs of any person when providing its services. All communications from Aramid Capital Limited, unless explicitly stated, are for informational or marketing purposes only and should not be construed as advice, recommendations, or encouragement to buy or sell any investment.

Currency and Foreign Market Risks

Investments denominated in currencies other than your base currency, or those involving transactions in foreign or emerging markets, carry additional risks. These include exchange rate fluctuations, changes in inflation, political instability, and fiscal policies, all of which could adversely affect the value of your investment.

Investment Manager Risks

Your investments may be managed by third-party fund managers, and there is a risk that poor management performance could negatively affect your portfolio’s returns. Similarly, we too could be impacted by poor performance in the management of your advised or managed portfolio.

Liquidity Risks

Certain investments may be difficult to liquidate, particularly in adverse market conditions or when restrictions (such as lock-ups, gating, or suspension of redemptions) are applied. In such cases, you may not be able to sell your holdings when you wish, and the value of your investment may decrease.

Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and New Issues

In certain cases, the price of newly issued securities may be temporarily supported by the issuer in a process called stabilization. This could impact not only the new issue’s price but also the prices of related securities. Such stabilization can keep prices artificially high for a period, and the price may adjust after the stabilization period ends.

Suspension of Trading

In certain situations, such as extreme price movements, exchanges may suspend or restrict trading. This could make it impossible for you to liquidate positions, even if you wish to do so.

Clearing House Protections

While many exchanges provide a guarantee for settlement through clearing houses, this protection may not cover situations where other parties, such as your investment manager, fail to meet their obligations.

Insolvency Risk

In the event of insolvency or default by your investment manager, or any brokers involved in your transactions, positions may be liquidated without your consent. You may not recover the full value of any collateral you have posted, and any compensation may be provided in cash.

Self-Directed Investments

If you opt for self-directed investment services, where you make all decisions and transactions on an execution-only basis, you bear full responsibility for regularly reviewing your portfolio and ensuring it aligns with your objectives. This is especially important for investors with a defined investment horizon, such as retirement planning.

Internet Trading Risks

Trading via the Internet involves risks such as hardware failures, software issues, and Internet connection disruptions, which may affect your ability to trade. Aramid Capital Limited does not control the reliability of the Internet, your equipment, or the signal reception, and therefore cannot be held responsible for any trading failures or delays that occur through the online platform. For your convenience, alternative methods such as telephone trading are also available.

This is not an exhaustive list of all possible risks. We strongly recommend you read all relevant documentation and ensure you understand the risks involved before making any investment. If you are uncertain about the risks or the suitability of a particular investment, please seek professional financial advice.
