Risk Disclosures

Arcano Capital Markets Ltd (ACML) is committed to transparency and regulatory compliance. As part of this commitment, the following risk disclosures are provided to ensure that all clients and prospective clients are fully informed of the risks associated with our services prior to engaging in any investment or trading activity.

1. Types of Risk

The following risks are inherent to the services offered by ACML and must be carefully considered before engaging in any investment or trading activity:

1.1 Market Risk

Investments are subject to price fluctuations due to economic, political, or other factors. The value of investments may go up or down, and clients may receive back less than they originally invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

1.2 Leverage Risk

Derivatives involve leverage, which can amplify both gains and losses. A relatively small movement in the underlying asset can result in a proportionally much larger movement in the value of the derivative instrument. Clients should be aware that losses can exceed the initial margin deposited and may be required to deposit additional funds at short notice to maintain their positions.

1.3 Foreign Exchange Risk

Currency fluctuations may adversely affect returns. Where investments are denominated in a currency other than the client’s base currency, changes in exchange rates may have a negative effect on the value, price, or income of those investments.

1.4 Operational Risk

Technical issues, cyberattacks, or human error may disrupt services. ACML employs robust operational controls and business continuity procedures; however, clients should be aware that system failures or external disruptions may temporarily affect the ability to place, amend, or close orders.

1.5 Regulatory Risk

Changes in laws or regulations may impact the availability or profitability of certain investments. Regulatory changes may affect ACML’s ability to offer certain products or services, and clients should be aware of the regulatory environment applicable to their jurisdiction.

2. How Risk Disclosures Are Presented

ACML ensures risk disclosures are prominently displayed and accessible through the following measures:

• Client Agreement (Clause 4.3 — Risk Disclosures): Clients acknowledge that all investments carry inherent risks including market risk, derivatives-specific risk, foreign exchange risk, and operational risk. ACML shall not be liable for any losses arising from these risks.
