Retail Risk Disclosure.
Investing in securities involves significant risk. This disclosure outlines key considerations for investors accessing African and private markets through the platform.
Investing in securities involves risk, including the potential loss of your capital. Mystocks.africa provides a platform to access African stock markets but does not provide investment advice or guarantee returns.
1. Market Risk
The value of your investments may rise or fall due to market fluctuations. Market movements can be volatile, particularly in emerging markets. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
2. Liquidity Risk
Some securities may be difficult to sell quickly without affecting the price. Market liquidity can vary across exchanges and instruments.
3. Currency Risk
Investments in foreign securities are subject to exchange rate fluctuations. Changes in currency values can increase or decrease your returns, independent of market performance.
4. Counterparty & Execution Risk
All trades are executed by licensed brokers and partners, not Mystocks directly. Mystocks does not control execution, clearing, or settlement, and cannot guarantee partner performance. Delays, mispricing, or partner errors may occur despite reasonable controls.
5. Regulatory & Political Risk
African markets are subject to local regulations, legal frameworks, and political developments. Changes in law, taxation, or policy can affect market access, trading rules, or investment values.
6. Custody & Segregation
Assets are held by licensed custodians and brokers in segregated accounts. You retain beneficial ownership, but settlement, processing, or custodian delays may affect timing of access to funds or assets.
7. Dividends & Corporate Actions
Dividends are credited when received from the market, and corporate actions (splits, rights issues, mergers) are handled according to market and partner rules. Mystocks aims for timely distribution but cannot guarantee exact timing.
8. Fees & Costs
Mystocks charges a 0.75% platform fee on applicable transactions. Trades may include a variable spread, which can affect returns. Additional fees may be levied by custodians, brokers, or markets, as disclosed before trade execution.
9. No Investment Advice
Mystocks does not provide personalized investment advice. All information on the platform is educational and informational. Investment decisions are entirely your responsibility.
10. Important Considerations
Before investing, you should: understand the risks of loss, only invest money you can afford to lose, diversify your portfolio to reduce exposure, and be aware of market, currency, and regulatory risks.
