Risk Disclosure

Last updated: 9 March 2026

High-Risk Investment Warning

Trading in financial instruments — including forex, CFDs, cryptocurrencies, stocks, and derivatives — carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. You may lose some or all of your invested capital. You should not invest money you cannot afford to lose.

1. No Investment Advice

BrokerRank is an independent broker comparison and review website. All content published on BrokerRank — including broker reviews, rankings, comparisons, and guides — is provided for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or any other type of advice.

BrokerRank is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), or any other financial regulatory authority. We are not authorised to provide personalised investment recommendations.

Nothing on this website should be construed as a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any financial instrument. Always seek independent financial advice from a regulated professional before making investment decisions.

2. Risk of Trading Financial Instruments

Trading financial instruments involves substantial risk, including:

  • Leverage risk: Many brokers offer leveraged products (CFDs, forex) that can amplify both gains and losses. Losses may exceed your initial deposit.
  • Market risk: Financial markets are volatile. Prices can move rapidly and unpredictably due to economic events, geopolitical factors, and market sentiment.
  • Liquidity risk: Some instruments may be difficult to exit at a desired price during periods of low liquidity or market stress.
  • Counterparty risk: Broker insolvency or operational failure can result in loss of client funds, even where compensation schemes exist.
  • Cryptocurrency risk: Crypto assets are highly volatile, largely unregulated in many jurisdictions, and not covered by investor compensation schemes in most countries.
  • Currency risk: Trading in foreign currency-denominated assets exposes you to exchange rate risk in addition to market risk.

Retail CFD statistics published by regulators consistently show that the majority of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs and leveraged products. These statistics are disclosed by regulated brokers on their websites.

3. Accuracy of Information

BrokerRank endeavours to maintain accurate and up-to-date information. However, broker fees, conditions, regulatory status, and other information change frequently. We cannot guarantee that all information on this site is current or error-free.
