# What investment risks are involved?

There are many risks associated with private venture investing, including due diligence risk, underwriting risk, business valuation risk, business plan risk and execution risk.  There are also extrinsic risks that are beyond any company’s control.  While iSelect’s diligence process seeks to mitigate many of these risks, they remain systemic to private venture investing and are impossible to eliminate, which is why diversification is so important for even the most skilled investor.  Potential investors should review the risk factors included in the private placement memorandum (PPM) in each portfolio company’s file as well as the Fund’s PPM before investing in the Fund.  All PPMs can be found in iSelect’s virtual data room that is available to qualified investors through iSelect’s web site.  In addition, investors should understand before investing that they could lose their entire investment.
