General Risk Warning: The market information relating to the past performance of an investment is not a guide to its performance in the future. The value of investments may rise or fall due to the volatility of world markets, interest rates and capital values or, for investments held in overseas markets, changes in the rate of exchange in the currency in which the investments are denominated. You may not get back the original amount that you invest. Contracts for Difference (CFDs) & Foreign Exchange (FX) are leveraged products and carry a high level of risk to your capital as it is possible to lose more than your initial investment rapidly & substantially. You should carefully consider whether investing is suitable for you and if in doubt seek advice from an independent financial advisor.
