“Exempt” describes a prospectus exemption
Not an exemption from risk. The issuer is exempt from producing the detailed, regulator-reviewed document that accompanies a public offering. Available information is therefore less standardized, and comparing investments markedly harder.
Capital can be lost, entirely
These investments carry a risk of loss, often total. That is not boilerplate: it is the first thing a representative must tell you, and the reason access is regulated.
Liquidity is the real question
Many of these investments cannot be resold easily, or at all before a maturity date. Before the hoped-for return, the question is: how long until I can get this money back, and on exactly what terms?
Access conditions exist for a reason
Exemptions rest on specific criteria — income, assets, or advice from a registered person. Those criteria are not a privilege to obtain: they exist because the risk is real and the information limited.
The offering memorandum
Where one exists, it describes the project, the fees, the conflicts of interest, and the risk factors. It is read in full, and the risk section particularly. A representative can walk you through that reading.
Fees and conflicts of interest
Subscription, management, and exit fees, the intermediary’s compensation, links between the issuer and the distributor: these must be disclosed to you. Ask for them explicitly if you cannot find them.
Suitability above all
A representative registered in the appropriate category must assess whether the investment suits your situation before any subscription. An investment can be legal, available, and entirely unsuitable for you.
What CompareTaux does not do
No online eligibility check, no return displayed, no product ranking, no automated recommendation. The site routes a request for information to an authorized person, and nothing more.
What happens after you submit
A representative registered in the appropriate category calls you back for an informational conversation, and they verify eligibility — never this site. Enter no financial detail here.
Frequently asked questions
Can I lose my capital?
Yes. Exempt market investments carry a risk of loss, often total, and are generally illiquid: you may be unable to recover your money before maturity.
What does “exempt” actually mean?
That the issuer is exempt from producing a prospectus, the detailed, regulator-reviewed document that accompanies a public offering. It is not an exemption from risk.
Who can invest in the exempt market?
Access depends on exemptions set by regulation, tied notably to your income, your assets, or advice from a registered person. That verification is done by a representative, never by this site.
Can I resell my investment whenever I want?
Generally no. Many of these investments cannot be resold easily, or at all before a maturity date. That is the first question to ask, before the hoped-for return.
What is an offering memorandum?
A document describing the project, the fees, the conflicts of interest, and the risk factors. Where one exists, it is read in full, and the risk section particularly.
What fees apply?
Subscription, management, and exit fees, the intermediary’s compensation, links between the issuer and the distributor: these must be disclosed to you. Ask for them explicitly.
Do you verify my eligibility online?
No. No eligibility check is performed on this site. A representative registered in the appropriate category assesses whether the investment suits your situation.
What about returns advertised in an offer I received?
A projection in an offering is the issuer’s forecast, not a guarantee, and CompareTaux repeats none of them. A representative helps you separate what is guaranteed from what is hoped for.
