The information in this document does not constitute advice or a personal recommendation and you should not make any investment decisions on the basis of it. This document is for the information of the recipient only and should not be reproduced, copied or made available to others. This document does not take into account the particular investment objectives, financial situations or needs of individual clients. You are advised to contact your investment adviser as to the suitability of each investment, for your own circumstances and before taking any action.

This document has been prepared with all reasonable care and is not knowingly misleading in whole or in part.

Directors, staff and clients may have a position or engage in transactions in any securities mentioned. No responsibility is taken for any losses, including, without limitation, any consequential loss, which may be incurred by clients acting upon the contents of this document. The opinions and conclusions given are those of Seneca Partners Limited and are subject to change without notice. In addition, it should be remembered that past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance and the value of an investment and any income from it can fall as well as rise in value, therefore your capital is always at risk and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Shares in smaller companies tend to be traded less frequently and in smaller amounts than those of larger companies, this can make the timing of sales and purchases more difficult. Clients should be aware that companies whose shares are traded on an unregulated market for example the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) carry a higher degree of risk than companies whose shares are listed on a regulated market for example the London Stock Exchange (LSE). Unquoted shares are by their nature illiquid and may not be sold easily and may not be sold for value.
