Risk Notice
Please read this notice carefully. It summarises the principal risks associated with the structured gold trade finance opportunities referenced on this website.
Last updated: 30 May 2026
1. Capital risk
The full amount of your investment is at risk. There is no capital guarantee and no protection scheme equivalent to retail deposit or investor compensation schemes (such as the FSCS in the United Kingdom) applies to these investments.
2. Liquidity risk
Structured gold trade finance investments are typically illiquid. Unlike listed bullion or exchange-traded gold products, there is no public secondary market. You should be prepared to hold your position for the full term and may be unable to exit early.
3. Counterparty and operational risk
Returns depend on the performance of the underlying trade finance transactions, the refineries, logistics partners, custodians and other counterparties involved. Failure, fraud or operational disruption at any point in the supply chain may reduce or eliminate returns and may cause partial or total loss of capital.
4. Gold-price and currency risk
Although these structures are not bullion holdings, certain components may be exposed to fluctuations in the gold price and to foreign exchange movements between the currency of the underlying transactions and your reporting currency.
5. Geopolitical, regulatory and sanctions risk
Gold trade finance involves cross-border activity in multiple jurisdictions. Changes in trade policy, sanctions regimes, taxation, anti-money-laundering requirements or local regulation may delay or disrupt transactions and may have a material adverse effect on returns.
6. Suitability
These investments are not suitable for all investors. They are intended only for those who can bear the risk of total loss, who have sufficient experience to evaluate the risks involved, and who meet the relevant professional, sophisticated or high-net-worth investor criteria in their jurisdiction.
7. Independent advice
Aurum Trade Finance does not provide investment, tax or legal advice. Before requesting further information or proceeding with any investment, you should seek advice from suitably qualified independent advisers.
8. No reliance
The information on this website is provided for general educational purposes. It does not take into account your personal financial circumstances and should not be relied upon as a basis for any investment decision.
