Terms of use
Welcome to the financial products section of HanseMerkur Trust Swiss AG (HMTS). Here you will find information and opinions on various investment instruments, products and services, which we collectively refer to as “financial products”. Before entering the financial products area, we kindly ask you to carefully read and accept the following important legal information.
By agreeing and accessing the following section with information and opinions on financial products, you confirm that you have understood and expressly agree to the legal notices.
Local legal restrictions
The following section on financial products contains information and opinions on financial products such as investment funds. Please note that these products may be subject to different registration requirements in different countries. Access to this section is not intended for natural persons or legal entities for whom the use of or access to the HMTS website would violate the legal system of their country due to their nationality, domicile/registered office or for other reasons. In particular, this applies to citizens and/or residents of the United Kingdom, Japan and the U.S.
No recommendation or offer
The contents published in this section do not constitute a recommendation or an offer to acquire, hold or sell the financial products mentioned, nor to engage in any other transactions or legal acts. They are provided for information purposes and personal use only. Please note that HMTS may make changes to the contents as well as the legal notices for financial products at any time without prior notice.
The content provided in the section on financial products does not constitute investment or other advice and should not be considered as such. Before investing in a financial product, it is important that you carefully read the current legal documents as well as any other documents required by local legal and regulatory requirements (e.g. prospectus, annual and semi-annual reports of an investment fund). It is particularly important to study in detail the legal notices and risk warnings contained therein. We also recommend that you consult a specialist before making an investment decision.
No warranty
HMTS takes the greatest possible care in compiling the content on financial products. However, HMTS and its contractual partners do not assume any guarantee or liability towards third parties with regard to the accuracy, topicality and completeness of the published content. In particular, there is no obligation on the part of HMTS to update the content or to remove outdated content.
HMTS also assumes no responsibility and gives no warranty that the functions of the website with financial products will not be interrupted or are error-free. It is not guaranteed that errors will be corrected or that the website or the respective server are free of viruses or other harmful components and programs.
In addition, the HMTS website may contain links to third-party websites. These links are outside the sphere of influence of HMTS. Therefore, HMTS assumes no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness and legality of the content of such websites or for any offers and services contained therein.
Risk notice
As a general rule, the higher the risk (price fluctuations), the longer the investment period should be, and the higher the potential returns. The value of the invested capital as well as the resulting income (e.g. distributions in connection with investment funds) are subject to fluctuations and may be eliminated altogether.
Investments in foreign currencies are subject to direct and indirect exchange rate fluctuations. Individual financial products are generally subject to higher risks, for example, investment funds that invest primarily in emerging markets and/or in equities of small-capitalization companies and/or in high-yield bonds.
Performance
A positive performance (value development) in the past is no guarantee for a positive performance in the future. HMTS and its contractual partners can therefore not guarantee the preservation of value or an increase in value of the invested capital. Investors must be willing and able to accept possible substantial losses or even a total loss.
The performance calculation does not take into account any fees and costs (e.g. commissions and costs for the purchase and redemption of fund units) that may be incurred when buying, holding or selling the financial product.
Exclusion of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, HMTS and its contractors disclaim all liability (including negligence and liability to third parties) for losses of any kind incurred in connection with the use of the website and its contents or with the risks of the financial markets.
