All investments carry risk. The value of shares and the income from them may go down as well as up and you may not get back the money you invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Investments in Small Cap Shares involve a high degree of risk and are not suitable for all investors. Companies listed on the AIM or Aquis market can be highly volatile and are considered high risk speculative investments.
