Risk Disclosure
Last updated: 13 July 2026
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of capital. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Only invest what you can afford to lose. This Risk Disclosure sets out the principal risks you should understand before using the platform. Please read it carefully.
1. Capital at risk
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of some or all of the capital you invest. The value of investments can go down as well as up, and you may receive back less than you originally put in. You should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
2. No guaranteed returns
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Any figures, targets, calculators or examples shown on this website are hypothetical in nature, are provided for illustration only, and do not guarantee any particular outcome. Your actual results depend on the amount you invest and the strategy you choose with your analyst.
3. Market and volatility risk
Financial markets can be volatile. Prices may move rapidly and unpredictably in response to economic, political and other events. Such movements can result in significant gains or losses over short periods.
4. Suitability
Before making any investment decision, consider your objectives, financial situation and needs. Pikestead operates in line with applicable Canada rules (CIRO / OSC). We recommend that you consult an independent, qualified financial adviser if you have any doubt about the suitability of an investment for your circumstances.
5. No personalised advice
Information provided through the platform is general in nature and does not constitute personalised investment, legal or tax advice. You are solely responsible for your investment decisions.
6. Eligibility
This service is intended for adults aged 18 and over who are resident in Canada. Availability and specific terms may vary depending on your country of residence.
