Investment Risk Warnings

Introduction
At SimplyStockbroking (‘SSL’) we are committed to developing a shared understanding of investment risks with our clients. Firstly you should understand that the price and value of investments and the income from them fluctuates so you may not get back the amount you originally invested. How an investment has performed in the past is not a guide to how it will perform in the future. Exchange rate fluctuations may have an adverse effect on the value of non-UK shares and assets priced in foreign currencies. If you are in doubt about investing in any particular investment we recommend you consult a financial adviser.
