Yes, all investments carry risk. The prices of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds fluctuate from one day to the next. There is no assurance that any appreciation in value will occur and there is no certainty that an investor will get back any part of his investment. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. You should not rely on any past performance as a guarantee of future investment performance.
Some investments also carry more risk than others. For example, higher risk is associated to stocks listed in the SME Board as compared to stocks in the Main Board, while investments in government bonds are considered relatively risk-free. High risk securities may be more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Before making any investment, you should do you own research and analysis. Your investments are your responsibility. Any financial positions you take on the market are at your own risk and benefit. If you need financial advice, it is recommended that you contact a qualified individual who can give you guidance.
