The review of the “Investor Information Sheets” provided by issuers is carried out in accordance with the legal requirements including the regulations issued in this regard, in any case only with regard to coherence (in particular also the absence of contradictions with the General Terms and Conditions between issuers and investors as well as between issuers and 21.finance AG and/or its affiliated companies), completeness (in particular with regard to the provision of all information in accordance with the legal requirements including the regulations issued in this regard), and comprehensibility.

A positive performance of investments made in the past is no guarantee of a positive performance in the future.

We expressly point out that certain investments are highly volatile. Such investments may be subject to high fluctuations in value, the extent of which may correspond to the amount invested. Investments made may also not be immediately realisable. It may therefore be difficult for investors to sell an investment, realise the gain or obtain reliable information about its value or the extent of the risk to which the investment is exposed.
