Investing in the debt of companies such as those listed for investment on Energise Africa   involves risks. If the business you are investing in fails, there is a high risk that you will lose your money. Many bonds last for several years, so you should be prepared to wait for your money to be returned even if the business you're investing in repays on time. You are unlikely to be able to cash in your investment early by selling your bond. Putting all your money into a single business or type of investment for example, is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well. This type of investment is only for investors who understand these risks.
