The Fuel Ventures Funds invest between £150k & £3m into tech companies with early commercial tractionFuel Ventures | Fueling the growth of ambitious tech companies Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all your money.These are high-risk investments and you are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong.Take 2 mins to learn moreRisk summary for non-readily realisable securities which are shares:Last updated: 15 April 2024 | Estimated reading time: 2 minDue to the potential for losses, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) considers this investment to be high risk!What are the key risks?1. You could lose all the money you investIf the business you invest in fails, you are likely to lose 100% of the money you invested. Most start-up businesses fail.2. You are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrongThe 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. Protection from the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) does not cover poor investment performance. If you have a complaint against an FCA-regulated firm, FOS may be able to consider it. Learn more about FOS protection here. 3. You won’t get your money back quicklyEven if the business you invest in is successful, it may take several years to get your money back. You are unlikely to be able to sell your investment early. The most likely way to get your money back is if the business is bought by another business or lists its shares on an exchange such as the London Stock Exchange. These events are not common. If you are investing in a start-up business, you should not expect to get your money back through dividends. Start-up businesses rarely pay these.4. Don’t put all your eggs in one basketPutting 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 anyone to do well. A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments. Read more about it here.5. The value of your investment can be reducedThe percentage of the business that you own will decrease if the business issues more shares. This could mean that the value of your investment reduces, depending on how much the business grows. Most start-up businesses issue multiple rounds of shares. These new shares could have additional rights that your shares don’t have, such as the right to receive a fixed dividend, which could further reduce your chances of getting a return on your investment.
