What is the investors risk in these programs?

As stated, the Investment funds principal is fully secured by a BANK ENDORSED GUARANTEE (or, safekeeping receipt) which is issued by the Trading Bank at the time the funds are deposited. The Investor is designated as the Beneficiary of the Guarantee which is issued to secure the principal for the contract period and all elements of risk have been addressed. It must be stressed that, before an instrument is purchased, a contract is already in place for the resale of the Bank Debenture Instrument. Consequently, the Investors funds are never put at risk. The trust account will always contain either funds or Bank Instrument of equal or greater value. After each transaction period, the profits are distributed according to the agreement and the process repeats for the duration of the contract.

How often doest the program do transactions?

Operations will take place approximately forty (40) International Banking Weeks per year, with specific transactions taking place approximately one or more times per week depending on circumstances. Although there are 52 weeks in a year, there are only 40 international banking weeks during which transactions take place. An International Banking week is a full week which does not include an officially recognized holiday. However, this does not preclude that transactions may occur on short weeks that have a holiday.

Why are these "high returns" with safety programs not generally publicized?

The answer is that these programs have been available, though not widely known for years, however, because of the extremely high minimum requirements to enter them, only a few could qualify. The minimums have been 10 to 100 million dollars previously. Only recently have the smaller minimums been available so that more can qualify and yet have the opportunity to earn exceptionally high and safe profit yields. Also, The Investor must be "invited in" to participate in these very limited enrollment programs.

Individual programs can quickly become filled and are then closed to further Investor participation.
