Forex trading involves substantial risk. The valuation of Forex may fluctuate, and as a result, clients may lose more than their original investment. In no event should the content of this correspondence be construed as an express or an implied promise, guarantee or implication by or from Trimmer Capital Management LLC that you will profit or that losses can or will be limited in any manner whatsoever.

Information provided in this correspondence is intended solely for informative purposes and is obtained from sources believed to be reliable. This information is developed and intended strictly for the sole use of our clients and/or industry professionals only. Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
