Alternative Investments

Higher-risk specialist investments

Alternative investments can involve substantially higher risk than Cash ISAs, savings accounts or mainstream diversified funds and shares. Some products may be illiquid. You could lose some or all of your money. Protections differ by product. FCA authorisation of a firm does not mean every investment it offers is protected. Do not assume FSCS protection applies unless it specifically does. Tax reliefs such as EIS, SEIS and VCT relief depend on eligibility and current UK rules and can change.
