B. Information on the offered financial services

Rubellius Capital AG acts as a portfolio manager to collective investment schemes. For further information on the various collective investment schemes, the general risks, specifications, and operating procedures, please refer to the relevant offering memorandum and factsheets.

The financial institution also provides portfolio-based investment advisory services to its clients. In the case of a transaction-based investment advisory mandate with the financial institution, a personal recommendation relating to individual financial instruments is provided to the client. The decision to buy or sell remains always ultimately with the client.

The financial institution does not guarantee any yield nor performance of investment activities. The investment activity can therefore lead to an appreciation or a depreciation in value.

Rubellius Capital AG has all the necessary licences to perform the services described above.

C. Client segmentation

Financial service providers are required to classify their clients into a client segmentation according to the law and adhere to the respective code-of-conduct. The Financial Services Act provides for «retail clients», «professional clients» and «institutional clients» segments. For each client, a client classification is determined within the framework of the cooperation with the financial institution. Subject to certain conditions, the client may change the client classification by opting out.

Based on this segmentation, the corresponding level of regulatory protection will vary:

• retail clients are granted the highest level of regulatory protection.
• professional clients are deemed to have the necessary knowledge and experience to invest in all asset classes and to be financially able to bear the investment risks associated with the financial service.
• institutional clients are granted the lowest level of regulatory protection. The financial institution is neither bound to the duty to provide information, duty to review, duty to document, rendering of account nor transparency and conduct rules.

Please note that we do not service retail clients currently.

D. Information on risks and costs

General risks associated with financial instruments transactions

The various types of financial instruments and the associated risks are described in the brochure «Risks associated with Financial Instruments Transactions» published by the Swiss Bankers Association, available at www.swissbanking.ch.
