The training offered within The Compassionalist Academy is intended to be a guide providing relevant information for the student to gain skills for discern the merits of opportunities and for determining the level of risk with each investment opportunity.

All investments are risky. The goal within this course is to provide the information, training and guidance you need to become confident and competent to build a portfolio of private investments that map to your current liquidity, risk tolerance and financial goals.

Any decisions you make about investing in private companies are yours alone to make and you alone are responsible for your decisions regarding how much to invest and what to invest in. Investing in startups and the equity of private companies at any stage is inherently risky and involves the potential for total loss of capital. Investing through crowdfunding platforms is no less risky. Private equity investments are typically illiquid, speculative, and not suitable for all investors. You should never invest more than you can afford to lose.

Kugarand Capital Holdings, LLC is not an investment advisory firm and Karen Rands is not licensed as an investment advisor or securities broker, and does not represent herself or her company in that capacity.

Always perform your own due diligence. Seek the counsel of financial and legal advisors, accountants, and industry professionals with direct experience in private equity investing. Consider your own risk tolerance before making any investment decisions. Although it has been stated that financial planners and wealth managers, as licensed security and investment advisors, are discouraged by FINRA for providing advice about investing in private companies not represented by their licensing firm. However, they can provide you with guidance on how much of your available cash or retirement fund you could allocate toward alternative investments. Registered Investment Advisors (RIA) are not subject to the same restrictions as licensed brokers because they earn their income through management fees, not commissions on the investments you make, although because of the same rules governing broker dealers, many are under the same restrictions.

By registering for this digital course, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for any investment decisions you make as a result of the training, or in spite of the training.
