Private placement investments can carry significant risk, and you may lose all of your investment.  

Private placement offerings are high- risk, complex investments. They are typically illiquid investments, as they are not traded on any exchange. There are often legal or contractual restrictions on your ability to transfer your holdings, and even if sale of your holdings is permitted there may be no buyers. You may need to hold these securities for an indefinite period of time. 

Some investments may make periodic distributions, but some may not make any. Companies that issue unlisted securities may provide little or no transparency into their ongoing operations and financial condition.
