Risk warning mandates are regulatory requirements obligating financial service providers to clearly inform clients about the potential risks associated with specific investments or services. These mandates typically involve prominent disclosures of possible capital loss, market volatility, and other relevant hazards. Their purpose is to ensure investors are adequately aware of the dangers before making investment decisions. They are a cornerstone of consumer protection in financial markets.
