Understanding Investment Risk: What South African Investors Should Know

Vyntra is a South African investment platform committed to operating in accordance with applicable South African financial legislation and regulatory requirements. Where applicable, Vyntra operates under the oversight and regulatory framework of the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA).

Before investing, it is important to understand that all investments involve risk.

The level of financial exposure may depend on:

• The amount of capital invested
• The investment product selected
• The investment duration
• Market conditions
• The performance of the underlying activities

Investors should understand that investing a larger amount of capital can result in greater potential exposure to financial loss.

Vyntra encourages every investor to carefully consider their financial circumstances and invest only an amount they can afford to place at risk.

What Is Investment Risk?

Investment risk is the possibility that an investment may not perform as expected, may lose value, or may result in the loss of some or all of the capital invested.

Risk is not the same for every investor or every plan. It depends on the specific investment product, its terms, and the conditions affecting its performance.

Why Returns Are Not Guaranteed

Depending on the applicable investment plan, Vyntra may provide investment structures in which returns are calculated or distributed on a daily or weekly basis.

Returns are subject to the terms and conditions of the selected investment product. They should not be interpreted as a guaranteed profit unless expressly authorised and legally applicable.

Investment performance can change. Past or projected performance should not be regarded as a guarantee of future results.

Questions to Ask Before Investing

Before choosing any investment opportunity, ask yourself:

1. Can I afford to lose the amount I am considering investing?
2. Do I understand the applicable investment plan?
3. What fees and charges apply?
4. What are the withdrawal conditions?
5. Have I considered the risks?
6. Do I need independent financial or legal advice?

Vyntra’s Approach
