Alternative investments

Assets that behave differently from the stock market — from precious metals to private companies. Prices can fall sharply, many are illiquid, and some are highly speculative. Each carries its own risk label below.

Capital at risk. The value of investments and crypto assets can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest. Crypto assets are highly volatile and largely unregulated in the EU; they are not covered by investor-compensation or deposit-guarantee schemes. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Investfora does not provide investment, tax or legal advice, and any allocations shown are illustrative. Figures, portfolios and performance on the public pages are sample data for demonstration; your account shows only what is real.
