Risk Warning
Version 1 · effective 24 September 2026 · applies in every country unless a country version says otherwise
Investing in shares involves risk. You may get back less than you invest.
Investing involves risk
- Prices go down as well as up. You may get back less than you invested, and past performance is no guide to the future.
- Liquidity. Some shares trade rarely. You may not be able to sell when you want, or at the price you want.
- Currency. If you invest in a currency other than your own, exchange-rate movements can reduce your returns.
- Settlement. Trades settle after the trade date (for example, T+3). Money and shares move only when settlement completes.
- Market hours. Orders placed outside a market's trading hours wait for the next session, and the price may move before then.
- Firms. Your broker and custodian are licensed firms; eTrade Afrique does not guarantee their performance.
- No advice. eTrade Afrique does not give investment advice. Consider speaking to a licensed adviser before investing.
Only invest money you can afford to have tied up, and to lose.
