The value of an investment in ETFs may go down as well as up and past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Trading in ETFs may not be suitable for all types of investors as they carry a high degree of risk. You may lose all of your initial investment. Only speculate with money you can afford to lose. Changes in exchange rates may also cause your investment to go up or down in value.
