Risk Disclosure

Please read this disclosure carefully before making any investment decision.

Last updated: January 2026

Important Notice

Venture capital investing involves significant risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment. Past performance is not indicative of future results. This disclosure does not constitute financial advice.

1. General Investment Risks

All investments carry risk. The value of investments can go down as well as up. You should only invest capital that you can afford to lose. Safa Global Ventures makes no guarantees regarding returns or capital preservation.

Before investing, consider your financial situation, investment objectives, and risk tolerance. We strongly recommend seeking independent financial and legal advice.

2. Venture Capital Risks

  • Illiquidity: Investments in private companies are illiquid. There is no secondary market and no guarantee of any exit opportunity.
  • Long investment horizon: Venture capital returns typically take 5-10 years or longer to materialize, if at all.
  • Early-stage risk: Portfolio companies are often early-stage businesses with limited operating history, unproven products, and uncertain markets.
  • Dilution: Future funding rounds may dilute existing investors' shareholdings significantly.
  • Total loss: The majority of venture-backed startups fail. Investors should expect to lose their entire investment in some portfolio companies.

3. Excellence Fund Risks

The Excellence Fund is an actively managed venture capital fund with $14.2M NAV across 11 portfolio companies. Specific risks include:

  • Concentration risk in specific sectors (Commerce, Consumer, Technology, Energy, Education, Real Estate)
  • Geographic concentration across emerging markets in 15+ countries
  • Dependence on the performance of a small number of portfolio companies

4. Currency and Geopolitical Risks

Safa Global Ventures operates across multiple jurisdictions including Malta, Ireland, Estonia, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico. Investments may be subject to currency fluctuation, political instability, regulatory changes, and varying legal systems. International diversification does not eliminate these risks.

5. Shariah Compliance

While Safa Global Ventures seeks to ensure all investments comply with Islamic finance principles, investors should conduct their own independent Shariah compliance assessment. Scholarly opinions may differ across jurisdictions and over time.

6. Regulatory Status

Safa Global Ventures is pursuing regulatory authorization from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). Until authorization is granted, investment activities may be restricted to eligible investors only. Investors should verify current regulatory status before committing capital.

7. No Investment Advice

Nothing on this website constitutes investment, financial, legal, or tax advice. All information is for informational purposes only. Always seek independent professional advice before making investment decisions.

8. Forward-Looking Statements

This website may contain forward-looking statements about plans, projections, and expectations. These are based on current assumptions and subject to risks. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied.
