Investing in Venezuela carries significant risks that may result in partial or complete loss of capital. These risks include, but are not limited to:

• Political Risk: Venezuela has experienced significant political instability. Government policies can change rapidly and unpredictably, affecting all investments in the country.
• Economic Risk: Venezuela has experienced severe economic challenges including hyperinflation, currency devaluation, and recession. Economic conditions remain volatile.
• Currency Risk: The Venezuelan bolivar has experienced extreme volatility. Currency controls and multiple exchange rates add complexity to repatriating funds.
• Sanctions Risk: U.S., EU, and other international sanctions significantly restrict investment activities in Venezuela. Sanctions can change with little notice and may affect your ability to invest, hold, or liquidate investments.
• Liquidity Risk: Many Venezuelan assets have limited liquidity. You may not be able to sell investments when you want or at prices you consider acceptable.
• Legal and Regulatory Risk: The Venezuelan legal system may not provide the same protections as those in developed markets. Enforcement of contracts and property rights can be challenging.
• Operational Risk: Conducting business in Venezuela presents unique operational challenges including infrastructure limitations, security concerns, and bureaucratic hurdles.
• Expropriation Risk: The Venezuelan government has historically nationalized or expropriated private assets, including those owned by foreign investors.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Any historical data or examples provided are for illustrative purposes only.

Venezuela is subject to comprehensive sanctions programs administered by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the European Union, and other jurisdictions. These sanctions are complex, frequently updated, and carry severe penalties for violations.

Important:

• U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions involving the Government of Venezuela, PDVSA, and other designated entities without specific OFAC authorization.
• Sanctions can affect non-U.S. persons and entities that engage in certain activities or transactions involving Venezuela.
• General licenses may authorize certain limited activities, but these are subject to specific conditions and limitations.
• Sanctions are subject to change. What is permitted today may be prohibited tomorrow, and vice versa.

This website does not provide sanctions compliance advice. Before engaging in any activity related to Venezuela, you must consult with qualified legal counsel specializing in sanctions law.

Nothing on this website should be construed as encouraging or facilitating any activity that would violate applicable sanctions laws or regulations.
