All investments come with risks, and those on Mars are no different, so it's essential to understand them. The value of your assets can fluctuate in both directions, and there is no guarantee that you will be able to sell your offering at your desired price when you want to sell.
Mars is the first-of-its-kind platform to allow fans to invest in their favorite artists. Of course, that comes with its own risks. Please read the bullet points below to understand the risks associated with investing on Mars.
-
We have a novel and unproven business model.
-
Mars issuers do not expect to generate revenue, so investors will only recognize a return on their investment if the painting is eventually sold at a profit
-
No market exists for the shares, and artists are highly illiquid, so you must be prepared to hold your investment for an indefinite period.
-
Each Issuer owns a single painting, and this lack of diversification magnifies risk.
-
Your ability to trade or sell your shares is highly uncertain.
-
Artists may be sold at a loss.
-
Costs will diminish returns.
-
Investing in artists is subject to numerous risks, including (i) claims with respect to authenticity or provenance, (ii) physical damage, (iii) legal challenges to ownership, (iv) market risks, (v) economic risks and (vi) fraud.
-
Issuers are totally reliant on Mars.
-
Mars has potential conflicts of interest.
-
Timing of sale of an artist is uncertain.
The Offering Circular ("OC") or the Private Placement Memorandum ("PPM") for each artist details risk factors and is available for your review in the "Legal" section of the Helpdesk page. In addition, you can go to www.rallyrd.com/disclaimer for further information.
