Is this risky? Can I lose money?

Yes, you might lose money when you invest. The risk level of an investment planet is different for every client.

Every investment has a chance to make money but also a risk of losing money.

The amount that you can lose in the worst case depends on how your investment mix is structured and how risky it is.

At Selma, the risk level of an investment mix is different for every customer. You can see how much risk you are taking in your investment mix's blueprint. Selma automatically calculates what the worst fall of your investments in the past three years has been and how your investments would have been doing in an example of a financial crisis. This should help you to better understand how much risk you are really taking.

In case you feel uncomfortable with those figures you can write to us. We can always adjust your risk by a notch.

Remember, Selma uses investment products that spread your investments across the globe. This way, you are less affected by specific events, such as a company going bankrupt or a single country not paying their debts.
