Risk Disclosure & Disclaimer
Important information about the nature of this platform and the risks of international investing
1Not Investment Advice
All information, content, articles, tools, screeners and educational materials on this platform are for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this platform constitutes investment advice, a personalised recommendation, a solicitation, or an offer to buy or sell any security or financial product. All investment decisions are made solely by you, at your own discretion and risk.
2Risk of Capital Loss
Investments in US Stocks and ETFs involve significant market risk. The value of investments can go up as well as down. You may lose part or all of your invested capital. Past performance of any security, index, or financial product is not indicative of future results. No returns are guaranteed by Platizio Global, ViewTrade, or any associated service provider.
3Currency Risk
All investments through this platform are denominated in US Dollars (USD). Fluctuations in the INR/USD exchange rate can materially affect the value of your investment when converted back to Indian Rupees. A gain in USD terms may translate to a smaller gain or even a loss in INR terms, and vice versa.
4Regulatory and Compliance Risk
International investing is subject to the laws and regulations of multiple jurisdictions, including India (FEMA, LRS, SEBI, Income Tax), IFSC/GIFT City, and the United States. Regulatory changes, policy updates, or restrictions imposed by any competent authority may affect your ability to invest, remit funds, or repatriate proceeds.
5Role of Platizio Global
Platizio Services LLP (LLPIN AAQ-9558) operates Platizio Global as a white-labelled partner platform in association with ViewTrade. Platizio acts solely as a facilitator of access to international investing services. Platizio is not a broker, broker-dealer, custodian, investment adviser, portfolio manager, research analyst, or authorised dealer. Platizio does not hold securities or client money and does not provide custody services. All brokerage, execution, custody, clearing, settlement and related regulated activities are performed by ViewTrade or its appointed service providers. Platizio may receive referral fees or revenue share from ViewTrade.
6Regulatory Status
The Platizio Global international investing offering is facilitated through ViewTrade International IFSC Private Limited, registered with IFSCA as a Broker Dealer (IFSC/BD/2024-25/0003) and Global Access Provider (IFSCA/GAP/BD/2025-26/001). US execution, clearing and custody are provided through ViewTrade Securities Inc., a US broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and SIPC. Platizio Services LLP is not registered with IFSCA.
Separately, Platizio Services LLP is registered with the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) as a mutual fund distributor and operates in compliance with applicable SEBI regulations for its domestic offerings. That registration covers mutual fund distribution in India only; it does not cover US stocks or ETFs. Platizio does not hold a broker-dealer, investment adviser, or portfolio manager registration in India or any foreign jurisdiction in connection with this offering.
7Custody, Protection and Remuneration
Your account, cash and securities are with ViewTrade IFSC, not with Platizio. Your US shares are held in the name of ViewTrade IFSC for the benefit of its customers (an omnibus account), not in your individual name. ViewTrade IFSC holds them in the US through ViewTrade Securities Inc., and US shares settle at The Depository Trust Company (DTC), part of DTCC. Your shares therefore sit with a chain of intermediaries; if one fails, you could lose money.
ViewTrade IFSC is not a SIPC member. Where investor protection coverage is available through a foreign broker, clearing broker or custodian, such coverage is subject to that provider's terms and exclusions. SIPC protects against the failure of a brokerage firm; it does not protect against a fall in the market value of your investments. US trades are governed by US law, and IFSC stock-exchange investor-protection and dispute-resolution mechanisms do not apply.
Platizio may receive referral fees or revenue share from ViewTrade. Read ViewTrade IFSC's terms and risk disclosures carefully before investing.
8LRS and Tax Responsibility
Investing in US securities through this platform involves remittance under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) of the Reserve Bank of India. You are solely responsible for ensuring your remittances comply with the prescribed LRS annual limit, applicable Tax Collected at Source (TCS) rules, and all FEMA requirements. You are also responsible for reporting foreign assets and income in your Indian income tax returns (Schedule FA), claiming applicable foreign tax credits, and meeting all tax obligations in India and any other jurisdiction of your tax residency.
9Third-Party Content and Links
This platform may reference or link to third-party websites, market data providers, research, or services. Platizio is not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any third-party content. Any reference to a specific company, security, ETF, or index is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement.
10No Guarantee of Availability
The platform depends on third-party systems, internet infrastructure, exchanges, and service providers. Platizio does not guarantee uninterrupted access, real-time data accuracy, or error-free operation. Market data displayed on the platform may be delayed and should not be relied upon for time-sensitive trading decisions.
11Seek Independent Advice
Before investing, you should carefully read all relevant product documents, risk disclosures, ViewTrade customer agreements, and applicable fee schedules. You should consult your own independent financial, legal, and tax advisers to assess the suitability of any investment in light of your personal financial situation, investment objectives, risk appetite, and tax profile.
