What are the key risks?
Risk 1
You could lose all the money you invest
Investing in shares of start-up companies or bonds issued by them is high-risk. Investors often lose 100% of the money they invest, because most start-up companies fail. Checks on the companies you invest in may not have been carried out by us. You should do your own research before investing.
Risk 2
You won't get your money back quickly
Even if the company you invest in is successful, it can take several years to get your money back. In other words, your money is tied up for this time. The most likely way to get your money back is for the company to be bought by another company or to list its shares on a stock exchange. Such events are not common. Start-up companies very rarely pay you money back through dividends. CONDA Capital GmbH may work with companies to give you the opportunity to sell your investment early via a secondary sale, but there is no guarantee that you will find a buyer at the price you want, because there is no marketplace for such investments.
Risk 3
Don't put all your eggs in one basket
In general, it is very important that you do not put all your money into a single company or a single type of investment. It applies to everyone that money should be spread across different asset classes. Otherwise, you make yourself dependent on a single investment. A good guideline is to put no more than 10% of your freely available money into high-risk investments.
Risk 4
The value of your investment can fall
If you acquire shares in the company, there is a risk that your stake will decrease if the company issues further shares. This could mean that the value of your investment falls, depending on how strongly the company grows. Most start-up companies plan further investment rounds. New shares could have additional rights that your shares do not have.
Risk 5
You are probably not protected if something goes wrong
Your investments are not covered by the deposit guarantee schemes established in accordance with Directive 2014/49/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council. Your investment is also not covered by the investor compensation schemes in accordance with Directive 97/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.
