Securities of start-ups, such as those offered through Vested, are considered to be very risky and highly volatile investments. Issuers are not subject to the same ongoing disclosure obligations as reporting issuers. The Statistics show that a high percentage of start-ups and early stage businesses fail. By investing in start-ups, you risk losing the entire amount paid for your investment. You may not earn any income, such as dividends or interest, from the investment. You may never be able to sell the securities. You may not be provided with any ongoing information about the issuer and the investment. Investments offered have not been reviewed or approved in any way by any securities regulator. You will not have the same legal rights as an investor investing pursuant to a prospectus or stock exchange. Using borrowed money to purchase securities involves greater risk.

Vested is a Start-up Crowdfunding portal and is not registered under Canadian securities legislation.
