Content is provided for information and research purposes. It does not take into account the objectives, financial situation or needs of any person, and it is not a recommendation or an assessment of suitability.
Inclusion of a manager, program or opportunity on the website or platform is not an endorsement. You should obtain independent professional advice before making any investment decision.
5. Risk of futures and alternative investments
Futures and managed futures
Trading futures, options and other commodity interests involves a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
- Leverage magnifies gains and losses. Losses may exceed the initial margin deposited.
- Markets may move sharply and gap through stop levels.
- Liquidity may fall in stressed conditions, making positions difficult to exit.
- Managed futures programs carry manager, model, operational and counterparty risk.
- Fees and trading costs reduce returns.
Alternative and private investments
Private markets, venture capital, emerging managers, art and theatrical productions, including Broadway productions, carry additional risks:
- long lock-up periods and limited or no secondary market;
- valuations that rely on estimates and are infrequent;
- concentration in a single asset, company or production;
- limited operating history and reporting;
- possible loss of the entire investment.
Consider whether such investments are appropriate for your organisation in light of its objectives, resources and risk tolerance.
6. Past performance
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Performance figures shown are supplied by managers or third-party sources. Unless stated, they are not audited or independently verified by Gnosis, and they may be stated before or after fees on differing bases.
7. Hypothetical and simulated results
Some materials may include hypothetical, back-tested, pro forma or simulated performance. Such results have inherent limitations:
- They do not represent actual trading and may not reflect the impact of liquidity, slippage, fees or other market factors.
- They are prepared with the benefit of hindsight and may be designed or adjusted to fit historical data.
- They do not reflect the financial risk of actual trading or the ability to withstand losses or adhere to a program through drawdowns.
- No representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve results similar to those shown.
These limitations follow the disclosure standard in U.S. CFTC Regulation 4.41 (17 CFR 4.41) for hypothetical or simulated performance.
8. Illustrative data
Screens, charts, tables and figures marked as illustrative, or shown in product demonstrations on this website, are placeholders. They do not represent actual managers, accounts, assets under management or performance.
9. Data sources and accuracy
- Manager and program data comes primarily from managers and third-party providers. Manager factsheets rely solely on manager-supplied data.
- Gnosis applies quality checks but does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of any data.
- AI-assisted analysis, classifications and summaries may contain errors and do not replace your own due diligence.
- Data may change without notice, and Gnosis has no obligation to update it.
10. Third-party partners
Certain opportunities are introduced through independent partners. Partners are responsible for their own offerings, documents, regulatory status and conduct. Gnosis does not verify or guarantee partner information and is not a party to any investment you make through a partner.
Gnosis may receive remuneration from managers or partners in connection with introductions. Where it does, it will disclose this as required by applicable law.

Some content may contain forward-looking statements, including expectations, targets, projections or opinions about markets, strategies or opportunities.
