Is my money protected like it is in a bank?

No. Private investments are not bank deposits and are not covered by deposit protection schemes (FSCS, FDIC). Your capital is at risk, and you could lose your entire investment.

No. Private investments through Wealt are fundamentally different from bank deposits.

What protections DO exist:

  • SPV structure: Your investment is held in a legally separate SPV. Your personal liability is limited to the amount you invested - creditors of the company cannot come after your personal assets.

  • Platform separation: If Wealt ceases to operate, the SPVs continue to exist as independent legal entities. A successor administrator would manage them until their exit.

  • Regulated process: All investments go through KYC/AML verification, legally reviewed subscription agreements, and regulated SPV structures.

The bottom line: Private investments offer the potential for higher returns than a savings account, but they carry real risk. Only invest capital you can afford to lose entirely, and never put money you might need in the short term into illiquid investments.
