RISK INFORMATION (CapitalBrothers)

 

Terms of Service

 

 

Marketing Communication : This information is a marketing communication prepared by CapitalBrothers LLC for informational purposes only. This information is non-binding and does not constitute a recommendation to buy or sell, a financial analysis or information or advisory service, an offer or an invitation to submit an offer to buy or sell securities, nor does it replace a personal consultation with an investment advisor. Every investment decision must be individually tailored to the personal and tax law circumstances and needs of the investor. However, you are welcome to arrange a personal consultation with one of our investment advisors .

 

No financial analysis: this information has not been prepared in accordance with the legal provisions promoting the independence of financial research, nor is it subject to the prohibition of trading following the dissemination of financial research.

 

Risk warning: Every investment in financial instruments and securities is associated with the risk of capital loss (including a total loss). In particular, price fluctuations, changes in interest rates and deterioration in the creditworthiness of an issuer can have a negative impact on the value, price or income of a security or financial instrument. When investing in a foreign currency, there is also a currency risk, which can reduce or increase income.

 

Cost coverage effect: With fund savings, fewer fund units are bought at high prices and more fund units at low prices - this results in a lower average price in the long term (cost coverage effect). In the case of sharply rising prices and / or minor price fluctuations, this effect can result in lower performance than with a one-off investment.

 

Yield & Performance: Information on the performance is based on the past and does not represent a reliable indicator of future development. Investing in a foreign currency also creates a currency risk, which can reduce or increase earnings. The performance is determined according to the OeKB method, based on data from the custodian bank.

 

Forecasts: Return expectations, any forecasts or simulations are mere estimates at the time this information was created. Fees, commissions, expenses and taxes reduce earnings. Individual costs are not included in the performance; these can be obtained from your CapitalBrothers investment advisor.

 

Disclaimer: The information, analyzes and forecasts presented are based on the state of knowledge and market assessments at the time this information was created. No liability is assumed for the correctness, completeness and topicality of the data and content, or the occurrence of forecasts. In particular, we reserve the right to make an error with regard to figures.

In connection with the investment in funds, it should be pointed out that the composition of the fund's assets is subject to changes in accordance with the statutory regulations.

GENERAL RISK DISCLOSURE

 

This notice informs you of the risks associated with investment strategies that you can invest in through copy trading offered to you by the Capitalbrothers organization .

 

Investment products traded by Capitalbrothers include stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and cryptocurrencies . In addition, Capitalbrothers trades contracts for difference (CFDs) that provide exposure to currencies, commodities and indices.All transactions in stocks, ETFs and cryptocurrencies in which we leverage you or in which we make short transactions and all copy trading transactions / copy trading strategies (including CopyPortfolios) are CFD transactions.

 

All transactions in connection with cryptocurrencies are subject to the addendum for trading cryptocurrencies.Since the markets for cryptocurrencies are decentralized and not subject to supervision, the term trading services for cryptocurrencies, as it is defined in the addition for trading cryptocurrencies, is not subject to the supervision of any of the European Is controlled by supervisory authorities (not even by MIFID).

 

All of these products can be high risk and unsuitable for many investors. This notice informs you about the risks associated with these products, but cannot explain all risks, including how these risks relate to your personal circumstances. If you are unsure, you should seek professional advice. It is important that you fully understand the risks involved before deciding to copy strategies at Capitalbrothers, that you have the appropriate financial resources to handle such risks and that you carefully monitor your positions. Trading harbors risks for the capital you invest. You should not be investing money that you cannot afford to lose.

 

CFDs

 

CFD stands for “Contract for Difference” , which means that you are not buying the underlying asset yourself, but rather a contract to compensate for the difference between the initial price and the closing price of the asset. In CFD trading, you are typically trading a margin, which means that you only need to deposit a small percentage of the total value of your position. This is known as the "lever"; even small market changes can have a big impact on your trading account, both negative and positive.

 

If the market moves against you, you can suffer a loss that is greater than the amount invested in any particular position. You are responsible for all losses in your account, up to the amount of the principal in your account.

 

Before deciding to trade by margin, you should carefully think about your investment goals, experience, and risk tolerance. CFDs are not listed on any stock exchange. CFDs pose a greater risk than investing in exchange products, as market liquidity cannot be guaranteed and it can be more difficult to liquidate an existing position. The rates and other conditions will be determined by the brokers in accordance with their obligation to provide best execution as set out in their execution policy in order to act reasonably in accordance with applicable terms and conditions. The characteristics of these CFDs can differ significantly from the actual underlying market or financial instrument. Full details of all of their CFDs are posted on the brokers' website.

 

Ultimately, however, you are not dealing with the underlying market, so the treatment you receive in relation to CFDs may be less beneficial than if you owned the underlying financial instrument yourself.

 

CFDs are complex instruments and carry a high risk of losing money quickly through leverage. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.CFDs are not suitable for long-term investments. If you keep a CFD open for an extended period of time, the associated costs (e.g. overnight fees) increase and it may be cheaper to buy the underlying asset yourself instead. There may be sudden market movements known as gapping that can cause the price of the underlying asset to change dramatically. Gapping can occur when the underlying market is closed, meaning that the price on the underlying market can open at a significantly different level - and at a price that is less favorable to you.

 

Position monitoring

 

You should also ensure that you are able to monitor positions in your account at all times, as this is your sole responsibility. We are not responsible for monitoring the positions on your account.

 

execution

 

Although Capitalbrohters' trading platform is automated and brokers will give you the best execution available, it is possible that the market price has changed between the time the order was placed and the time of execution, so brokers cannot guarantee that execution will be at the same rate that you requested and the rate you receive may be in your favor or against you.

 

In order to limit losses, you are expected to set “stop loss” limits. With these defined limits, your position will automatically be closed when the price limit you have chosen is reached. However, there are circumstances in which the “stop-loss” limits are not fully effective - for example in the event of rapid exchange rate changes or market closures.

 

In addition, there are risks associated with the use of online execution and trading systems, including, for example, software or hardware errors and the internet connection.

 

Cryptocurrencies

 

  • Trading risks

    • Since the markets for cryptocurrencies are decentralized and not subject to supervision, cryptocurrencies are non-regulated services that are not controlled by any of the European supervisory authorities (including the MIFID). This means that there is no central bank that can take corrective action to protect the value of cryptocurrencies in a crisis or that can spend more money.

 

  • CRYPTO CURRENCY MARKETS ARE SUBJECT TO THE LAWS OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND ONLY. The cryptocurrency market is very dynamic and prices are often difficult to predict and extremely volatile. The prices of cryptocurrencies are usually not transparent and highly speculative and are prone to market manipulation. In the worst case, the product may become worthless.

 

  • It is important to distinguish between target prices that are displayed on charts and tradable prices that are displayed on trading platforms. Guide prices only indicate where the market is. Since the markets for cryptocurrencies are decentralized, meaning that there is no single central exchange where all transactions are carried out, each market maker can offer slightly different prices. Therefore, all prices that are displayed on a chart are only “target prices” and do not necessarily reflect the actual “trading prices” at which transactions can be carried out.

 

  • Cryptocurrency trading is prone to abuse for illegal activity because of the anonymity of transactions, and investors could be negatively affected if law enforcement agencies investigate allegedly illegal activity.

 

  • ACCORDINGLY, CRYPTO CURRENCIES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS EXPRESSLY HIGH RISK ASSETS. THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD NEVER INVEST IN MONEY WHICH YOU COULD NOT LOSE. In view of the above, cryptocurrencies are not suitable for all investors. You should not trade in these products if you do not have the necessary knowledge and experience and do not understand the characteristics of these products and the risk to you. You should also make sure that this product is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and your financial position.

 

  • Liquidating a position may be difficult or impossible for you in certain market conditions. This can be the case, for example, when the market reaches a daily price fluctuation limit (“limit move”) when there is insufficient liquidity in the market.

 

  • Blockchain Risks. Since the blockchain is an independent direct network that is not controlled by Capitalbrothers in any way, Capitalbrothers is not responsible for any failure and / or error and / or violation that is in the blockchain or in any other Network in which the cryptocurrencies can be issued and / or traded. They are bound by any change and / or addition to the blockchain system and are subject to all laws that may apply to the blockchain. We give - neither with regard to the functionality of the blockchain nor with regard to possible security breaches in the blockchain - no assurances or guarantees of any kind, neither express nor implicit, neither legal nor of any other kind.

FOREIGN MARKET

 

1. Lever. Trades carried out on trading accounts involve high risks. The amount of initial margin for executing a trade is considerably lower than the minimum size on the interbank foreign exchange market, so every trade is executed with leverage. A relatively small movement in the price of the asset being traded will significantly affect your wealth. Leverage is a double-edged sword - it can work in your favor as well as against you. You can lose your deposits and also other assets that you have deposited for the margin. If the price of the asset being traded moves against you, this leads to an increased margin requirement. As a result, you may need to deposit additional funds to meet the margin requirement. Should you refuse to do so, your position could be closed at a loss.

 

2. Orders to limit risk. Orders to limit risks, such as - "Stop Loss" or "Stop Limit" may not be effective under certain circumstances if the market conditions do not allow execution at the specified price.

 

 

OTHER RISKS USED IN FOREX

 

3. Commissions and Other Fees. Before you start trading, you need to understand what commissions, payments, and other costs may be involved. These costs will decrease your profit or increase your loss.

 

4. Currency Risks. Your total profits and losses will depend on the fluctuations in currencies.

 

5. Ways of Executing Trades. The forex market is not highly regulated, so buyers and sellers do not need to meet each other to place a trade. The liquidity for trading is made available electronically in automatic mode. Quotes and prices change depending on the change in liquidity as a result of an auction process. Most electronic trading platforms are fully automatic. Like any other technology, such systems can also be prone to malfunctions. You should contact the company you are dealing with for detailed instructions in such cases.

 

6. Electronic commerce. Trading on an electronic platform is not only different from the interbank foreign exchange market but also from other trading platforms. When you trade on an electronic platform, you take risks such as a system crash. This could mean that your order cannot be properly executed.
