FAQ

Common questions

What is an alternative investment?

An alternative investment is anything outside mainstream stocks, bonds and cash, for example private equity, private real estate, hedge funds, and fine art. They typically carry higher risk, lower liquidity, and are less regulated than mainstream investments.

Am I eligible to see these opportunities?

UK financial promotion rules restrict these opportunities to investors who self-certify as a High Net Worth Investor, Sophisticated Investor, or Professional Investor, among other categories. Our comparison tool checks this before showing you any options.

Do you give financial advice?

No. This website, and the opportunities and introducers featured on it, operate on a non-advisory, information-only basis. Nothing here is a personal recommendation. You should seek independent financial advice if you're unsure whether an investment is right for you.

Is my capital protected?

No. These are unregulated, high-risk investments. They are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), and you could lose some or all of the money you invest.

Do you charge a fee to compare?

No, using this website is free. Introducers may receive a fee for successful introductions; this does not affect what you pay.
