*Risk Warning:
Don't invest unless you're prepared to lose money. This is a high-risk investment. You may not be able to access your money easily and are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong.
Risk Disclaimer:
Bridge Capital Connect is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), meaning clients who choose to invest will not be eligible for the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) or the financial services compensation scheme. It is advisable to consult with a professional who is experienced in speculative and illiquid securities before investing.
Investment carries inherent risks such as the potential loss of capital, illiquidity, absence of dividends, and dilution. It is recommended that such investments form only a part of a well-diversified portfolio and are undertaken by individuals who fully comprehend the associated risks. Investments should not be made unless you are willing to accept the possibility of losing your entire investment. These are high-risk investments, and protection is unlikely in the event of adverse outcomes.
As a result, our services are limited to investors who possess the requisite knowledge and experience in these types of investments and who qualify as either Sophisticated Investors or High Net Worth Individuals.
Investors residing outside the United Kingdom must ensure their compliance with the laws applicable in their own jurisdictions prior to making any investments.
Should you not satisfy these requirements, you are advised not to proceed further and to exit this website immediately.
WHAT ARE THE KEY RISKS?
1. You could lose the money you invest
o Many loans are made to borrowers who can’t borrow money from traditional lenders such as banks. These borrowers have a higher risk of not paying you back.
o Rates of return aren’t guaranteed. If a borrower doesn’t pay you back as agreed, you could earn less money than expected. A higher rate of return means a higher risk of losing your money.
2. You are unlikely to get your money back quickly
o Some loans last for several years. You should be prepared to wait for your money to be returned even if the borrower repays on time.
o Property development projects are complex by nature – schemes tend to either complete early or run late.
3. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket
o 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.
o A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in
high-risk investments.
4. You are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong
o The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), in relation to claims against failed regulated firms, does not cover investments in unregulated investments
Due to the potential for losses, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) considers these investments to be high risk. If you are interested in learning more about how to protect yourself, visit the FCA's website
