9. Third-Party Compensation

When providing distribution and marketing services, the Company may receive compensation from third-party fund managers. However, such compensation is expressly not a retrocession, but a fee for the services provided by the Company to the third-party provider. The fee compensation paid by the third-party fund manager to the Company has no effect on the costs of a financial instrument or its performance.

 

9. Conflicts of Interest

As a placement agent acting on behalf of third-party fund managers, the Company receives remuneration from those managers in connection with its distribution activities. This creates an inherent interest in the successful fundraising of the funds presented. This potential conflict is disclosed to all clients and counterparties. Where a conflict of interest proves unavoidable in a specific situation, it will be disclosed to the affected client without delay.
