At Gains & Wells Capital FZCO, transparency is at the core of our operations. Investments offered through our platform are private, high-risk, and subject to UAE laws and regulations. This document outlines the main risk factors associated with different models of investment.
1. General Risks
- All investments carry the risk of partial or total capital loss.
- Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
- Private investments may be illiquid, with limited secondary market options.
- Returns are not guaranteed, and investors should only invest funds they can afford to lose.
2. Equity-Based Investments
Equity investments in startups or private businesses involve:
- High risk of failure — early-stage companies may not generate profits.
- Dilution of ownership if new shares are issued in future funding rounds.
- No fixed return — profits depend on business performance or exit events.
3. Co-Ownership Investments (e.g., Real Estate)
Investing in property shares under co-ownership models may involve:
- Fluctuations in real estate market values within the UAE.
- Potential delays in rental income distribution.
- Exit risks — liquidity depends on finding a buyer for your share.
- Regulatory risks such as changes in property ownership laws or registration fees.
4. Pre-Leasing Investment Models
Pre-leasing opportunities (investing before properties or assets are leased) carry:
- Uncertainty of tenant acquisition — potential vacancy risk.
- Delay in expected rental income if leasing takes longer than projected.
- Exposure to changes in UAE leasing regulations and market demand shifts.
5. Car Rental & Mobility Investments
Investments in car rentals or mobility ventures involve:
- Depreciation risk — vehicles lose value over time.
- Operational risks — accidents, maintenance costs, and downtime may impact returns.
- Demand risks — seasonal tourism patterns in the UAE may affect occupancy rates.
- Regulatory risks — compliance with UAE transport and insurance laws is mandatory.
6. Legal & Regulatory Risks
All investors must comply with UAE laws, including:
- KYC/AML Requirements: Investors must provide valid identification and source-of-funds documentation.
- Regulatory Oversight: Investments may be subject to UAE Central Bank and Securities & Commodities Authority (SCA) regulations.
- Changes in UAE law may affect investment returns, taxation, or exit strategies.
