When deciding to invest in PrimeSpace it is important that your investment goals consider your financial capacity and that your investment profile is aligned with investment options.
Investment risk means the potential volatility, or fluctuation of investment returns over the term of an investment. The return on investment means the amount of money the investment earns, or loses. All investments carry some degree of risk, but some carry more than others. If you seek higher returns then you need to be comfortable with accepting a potential higher level of risk.
It is important that you remember that just as the value of your investment may increase, it may also decrease or generate negative returns from time to time.
