# Risk Summary

Due to the potential for losses, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) considers this investment to be high risk. Below are the key risks associated with it.

## Risk of losing all invested money <a href="#h_6b7d1bea96" id="h_6b7d1bea96"></a>

Crypto assets can experience high volatility, resulting in the possibility of losing all invested funds. Additionally, the largely unregulated nature of the cryptoasset market poses risks such as cyber-attacks, financial crime, and firm failure.

## Lack of protection <a href="#h_7a45cb9b2a" id="h_7a45cb9b2a"></a>

Investments in this type of investment are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) or the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) in case of poor investment performance.

## Difficulty in selling investments <a href="#h_662cad7b21" id="h_662cad7b21"></a>

Selling crypto assets may not be easy due to market conditions and operational issues like technology outages and cyber-attacks, leading to potential delays in executing sales.

## The complexity of investments <a href="#h_bbf6c7307b" id="h_bbf6c7307b"></a>

Crypto asset investments can be complex, requiring thorough research to understand associated risks. Investors should exercise caution and not rely solely on promises of high returns.

## Diversification is key <a href="#h_c67a83f0cd" id="h_c67a83f0cd"></a>

Investing solely in this type of investment is risky. Spreading investments across different asset classes reduces dependency on any single investment's performance.
