Important risk disclosures

This website is an academic research project demonstrating a portfolio construction technique. It does not constitute investment advice, a financial promotion, an offer to sell, or a solicitation to buy any security or investment product. Nothing presented is a personal recommendation.

Performance shown is hypothetical and backtested using historical price data. It has not been achieved by any real investor. Hypothetical results have inherent limitations: backtests benefit from knowledge of past events; real-world trading carries additional risks not modelled here (execution slippage, partial fills, liquidity gaps, broker outages, taxation events).

Capital is at risk. The value of investments and any income from them can fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change.

Regulatory status

This site is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and does not provide a regulated service. No advice — generic, specific, or otherwise — is given. If you are considering investing, seek guidance from an independent financial adviser authorised and regulated by the FCA.
