Every investment has some degree of risk, so you need to evaluate your unique financial situation and the investment product and decide if it is right for you before making any investment decision. Remember, no matter what kind of investment product you choose, don’t invest more than you can afford to lose.

Private placements are securities that are exempt from federal registration requirements with the SEC and are not sold to the public on the open market. Both private and public companies engage in private placements to raise capital. Private placements are generally not liquid, disclose limited information about the issuing entity, and can carry an increased degree of risk.

Investing in private placements is a complex process and should only be considered if you have independently evaluated the investment product and determined it to be the right choice for your financial goals.
