Profitability
Money Managers are striving to generate constant
returns by using various trading techniques. Returns
are not correlated with returns on traditional
financial investments (equity and fixed income).
Money Managers are selected from the basket of
more than a thousand independent Money Managers
around the world who have established to
be able to generate constant returns using various
financial instruments. This approach ensures independence
from stock market movements and
can generate returns in positive and negative
market trends. A Client has an option to select a
Money Manager of his or her own preference and
in accordance with Client’s investment goals and
financial needs.
Infinium Financial, as a Risk Manager, monitors selected
Money Managers to ensure that strict policy
of portfolio management is being followed.
The prevention of possible excessive losses (stoploss
order) is carried out on 3 levels. The first level
is at Money Manager and singular opened trading
positions, the second level is at Infinium Financial
Risk Management for individual Money Manager
and individual Client account, while the third one is
at the Brokerage/Clearing House for Client’s assets.

management can be cancelled at any time

RISK WARNING: Investing in financial products offered by Infinium Limited in cooperation with its partners, presents a high investment risk which can, in the event of unfavourable
conditions in the financial markets, lead to the loss of a substantial part or all of the funds invested. Portfolio management through credit line transactions (IAC) is highly risky, as
it can, in the event of negative returns, lead to a disproportionate loss of funds invested. When managing assets, there is a likelihood of loss due to force majeure (power failure,
hacking, earthquake, flood, fire, inability to manage assets due to acts of third persons, etc.), in which case Infinium Limited does not cover the damage and this risk lies solely with
an investor. There is a risk of misunderstanding of financial instruments offered by Infinium Limited in cooperation with its partners, and it is therefore essential that the investor
consults with the licensed and/or authorized financial advisor on the appropriateness of the investment prior to investing. Due to the risk of misunderstanding the terms of the
management contract and other document, prepared and concluded in English, it is essential that Clients are fluent in English and understand English financial terminology.
The stop-loss value is not necessarily the same as the value indicated in the brochure. The general stop-loss order closes the exposure against the entire investment. Stop-loss
only reflects the value at which a security device is triggered and does not necessarily mean that the value of the loss is equal to the stop-loss value. Cumulative costs are added
after stop-loss is executed. The deviations from the stop-loss value may arise from market fluctuations at the moment of triggering, lack of liquidity, range of prices, bigger spread
or other severely deteriorated conditions on the market.
PRODUCT SPECIFICS: The financial products offered by Infinium Limited are not suitable for non-professional investors. Infinium Limited does not market and advertise its
financial products and does not conclude business relationships with non-professional investors. Non-professional investors are all those who, according to European legislation,
do not qualify as professional investors.

The investment
makes sense,
is balanced and
appropriate only if
three key factors are
taken into account:
safety, profitability
and time.
Monetary investments
As a general rule, cash, short-term deposits, treasury bills and similar forms of investments
are considered as monetary investments - that is, all those investments that are
cash or securities with a maturity of less than one year and are liquid. They are considered
the safest form of investment, but are also the least profitable.
Equity investments
A share/stock is a form of security representing a share of ownership in a joint stock
company - a share is an equity. The value of shares on the organized securities market
depends to a large extent on the performance of the company. Shares are one of the
most widespread and commonly traded instruments on stock exchanges. Many shares
allow investors to participate in the performance in the form of a periodically paid dividend.
Fixed income investments
The bond constitutes the obligation of the issuer to oblige the holder of the bond to repay
the money lent increased by interest (i.e. the coupon) over a period of time longer than
one year - the bond is a debt security. The bond is in fact nothing more than a loan, or a
method of borrowing. Issuers issue a bond when they need money. One of major differences
between a regular loan and a bond is flexibility of transfer, as many are traded on
the stock exchange.
Alternative investments
An alternative investment is an investment that is not one of the traditional investments,
such as cash, equity and fixed income. Alternative investments usually have a low correlation
with traditional investment classes, which make them suitable for portfolio diversification.
Alternative investments may include real estate, commodities, various currencies,
and other investments. They may also be traded in the form of derivatives to financial
instruments. Managers who pursue absolute returns do not compare themselves with
returns of the capital markets, but pursue a pre-established investment objective (target
profitability), which they set independently of the conditions on financial markets, stock
market trends or competition. Even at the time of the bear market, the managers strive to
achieve the set target profitability.

Yield and risk
When investing in financial instruments, systematic and unsystematic risk should
be taken into consideration, as well as distinction between relative and absolute
returns.
Systematic risk or market risk refers to factors that affect the entire capital market
or individual investment grade and, consequently, the value of a significant part of
the investor’s assets.
Unsystematic risk or specific risk refers to an individual financial instrument that
does not affect the entire capital market, but only one financial instrument and other
related instruments. The effects of unsystematic risks can be eliminated by appropriately
diversifying assets. A suitable asset diversification is where investments or
investment classes are less correlated and correspond to the investor profile.
An absolute return represents a gain or loss that is realized on assets over time.
Absolute return is not compared with return on the capital market or any other comparable
index. When generating absolute returns, systematic risk does not affect the
value of assets. Mutual funds and asset management with traditional investments
have an objective to outperform the capital market or other benchmarks.
RISK WARNING: The document is prepared exclusively for the purpose of better understanding of financial instruments and the functioning of the capital market. Any
investment in financial products represents an investment risk which can, in the event of unfavourable conditions in the financial markets, lead to the loss of a substantial part
or all of the funds invested. There is a risk of misunderstanding financial instruments, therefore it is recommended that an investor should consult a financial advisor about the
appropriateness of a particular investment.
