Important Notice

CFDs are complex financial products that involve a high level of risk. The CFDs offered on this platform are unleveraged and provide synthetic exposure to private equity and alternative assets. These products are not suitable for all investors, as they carry the risk of illiquidity, valuation uncertainty, and losing the full value of your investment. You should carefully consider whether you understand how these CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the risk of losing your entire investment.

All CFDs on the platform are issued by PE Projects, the trading name of Austral Capital Limited.

General Investment Risk

CFDs issued by PE Projects are synthetic financial contracts that provide economic exposure to unlisted private equity, pre-IPO investments, or other alternative asset classes. These are not equity instruments, and you do not receive any shareholder or ownership rights in the underlying asset.

These products carry substantial risk, including:
- Loss of your full investment amount
- Illiquidity or delays in redemption
- Counterparty risk associated with the execution venue
- Performance fluctuations due to market conditions, legal events, or issuer underperformance
- Exposure to companies that are privately held, with limited disclosure, unaudited financials, and potentially infrequent valuations.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
