THIS BROCHURE IS A SUMMARY OF THE RISKS INVOLVED IN DIGITAL ASSETS AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS TRADING. IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE EXHAUSTIVE. CLIENTS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THEIR ABILITY AND EXPERIENCE BEFORE COMMITTING ANY FUND IN THIS TRADING.

Trading Digital Assets is not suitable for everyone. Investing in such instruments involves a high degree of risk of loss. Before trading you should be aware of the risks involved due to the fluctuation in the value of such instruments' prices. Any type of market or trade speculation that can yield an unusually high return on investment is subject to unusually high risks. Large losses may be suffered within a relatively short period of time due to adverse market movements or to position build-up. Before deciding to enter into Digital Assets trading, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. You should only trade the portion of your own assets you are disposed and cannot afford to lose entirely: only your surplus funds should be placed at risk and if you do not have such surplus funds you should imperatively avoid engaging in trading. In case of doubts on the risks related to Digital Assets trading you should consult any independent financial advisor and request any necessary information.
