Many securities offered through subscription are not publicly traded and are intended for investors who do not have a need for a liquid investment. Additionally, investors may receive restricted securities that may be subject to holding period requirements. Companies seeking unregistered investments are often in earlier stages of development and have not yet been fully tested in the public marketplace. Investing in unregistered and IPO securities requires high risk tolerance, low liquidity requirements and long-term commitment. Investors must be able to afford to lose their entire investment. ©2017 FOLIOfn, Inc. All rights reserved.
