Important Information: Please read this statement carefully before engaging with any strategy or service offered by Xenith Capital.
Trading Foreign Exchange (Forex), Contracts for Differences (CFDs), and Cryptoassets is highly speculative, carries a high level of risk, and is not suitable for all investors. You may sustain a loss of some or all of your invested capital. Therefore, you should not speculate with capital that you cannot afford to lose.
Standardised Risk Summary
Estimated reading time: 2 min
Due to the potential for losses, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) considers these investments to be high risk.
1. You could lose all the money you invest.
If the business offering this investment fails, there is a high risk that you will lose all your money. Businesses like this often fail as they usually use risky investment strategies.
Advertised rates of return aren’t guaranteed. This is not a savings account. If the issuer doesn’t pay you back as agreed, you could earn less money than expected or nothing at all. A higher advertised rate of return means a higher risk of losing your money. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
2. You are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong.
The business offering this investment is not regulated by the FCA. Protection from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) only considers claims against failed regulated firms. Learn more about FSCS protection here.
The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will not be able to consider complaints related to this firm. Learn more about FOS protection here.
3. You are unlikely to get your money back quickly.
This type of business could face cash-flow problems that delay payments. It could also fail altogether and be unable to repay investors their money.
You are unlikely to be able to cash in your investment early by selling it. You are usually locked in until the business has paid you back over the period agreed.
4. This is a complex investment.
This investment has a complex structure based on other risky investments. This makes it difficult for the investor to know where their money is going.
This makes it difficult to predict how risky the investment is, but it will most likely be high.
You may wish to get financial advice before deciding to invest.
5. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Putting all your money into a single business or type of investment for example, is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well.
A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments. Learn more about diversification.
Specific Product Risks
CFDs (Contracts for Difference)
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. At least 72.5% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with the broker. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
Cryptoassets (NOVA & XCHANGE Series)
The risk of loss in trading or holding cryptoassets can be substantial. Cryptoasset services are not covered by the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) or the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). The value of digital assets can be extremely volatile and unpredictable.
Automated Trading Risks
While Xenith Capital utilizes advanced algorithmic technology, automated trading systems are subject to technical risks. These include, but are not limited to, internet connection failures, hardware malfunctions, or software errors at the broker level. Xenith Capital is not liable for losses resulting from technical failures or market conditions that exceed the parameters of the strategy.

Past Performance
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
Leverage
Utilising leverage can amplify both profits and losses. It is crucial to understand how leverage works and the associated risks.
No Guaranteed Returns
While our trading strategies aim for consistent returns, profitability cannot be assured. Performance may be influenced by market conditions, economic events, and other external factors.
Liquidity Risk
Under certain market conditions, executing trades at desired prices may be challenging, which could impact investment returns.
Regulatory Risk
Changes in laws and regulations can affect the forex industry and our operational practices. Staying informed about these changes is essential.
Operational Risk
Our automated trading systems rely on technology and infrastructure. Technical disruptions, system failures, and other operational issues can impact investment performance.
Investment Horizon
Forex trading is inherently speculative. Ensure your investment timeline aligns with your financial goals and risk tolerance.
Diversification
While diversification can help reduce risk, it does not eliminate it. Evaluate your overall investment portfolio to avoid excessive exposure to any single asset or strategy.
Advice and Acknowledgement
Xenith Capital encourages all potential investors to thoroughly evaluate their financial situation, investment goals, and risk tolerance before engaging in forex trading. Consulting with an independent financial advisor is recommended for a comprehensive understanding of the risks involved.
