Are there Risks Associated with your Projects?
All investments involve a certain degree of risk, and alternative investments can be more complex than traditional assets. We ensure that all investors always receive full information about risks before making decisions. You can always obtain a CI document (KID) for the respective project, as we operate under the PRIIP regulation.
13.Can one Decide when to Exit the Investment?
Can one Decide when to Exit the Investment?
As a rule, most alternative investments are illiquid, as there is no secondary market for the shares. Therefore, you can only exit the investment when it is concluded by us or our partners. When investing in structured products, prices are often quoted daily, making them more liquid. The prospectus clearly indicates the liquidity of the respective investment.
