# Why are my shares priced so low on the trading platform?

## The trading platform is not a reflection of true investment performance.

---

The trading platform is a resource for investors seeking short-term liquidity. Since the vast majority of investors are comfortable with the holding period, the trading volume is relatively low.  As a result, liquidity on the trading platform is limited and that has impact on pricing. Investors should not consider the pricing on this platform as representative of fair market value or investment performance.
