Art. 8 Duty to Provide Information Content and form of information

1 Financial service providers shall inform their clients of the following:

  • a. their name and address;
  • b. their field of activity and supervisory status;
  • c. the possibility of initiating mediation proceedings before a recognised ombudsman in accordance with Title 5; and
  • d. the general risks associated with financial instruments.
  • 2 They shall also provide information on:

  • a. the financial service personally recommended and the associated risks and costs;
  • b. the business affiliations with third parties in connection with the financial service offered;
  • c. the market offer taken into account when selecting the financial instruments.
  • 3 Where financial instruments are personally recommended, financial service providers shall also make the key information document available to the retail client insofar as such a document must be produced for the financial instrument recommended (Articles 58 and 59). In the case of a compound financial instrument, a key information document shall be made available for said instrument only.

    4 No key information document need be made available if the service is provided exclusively in the execution or transmission of client orders, unless a key information document has already been produced for the financial instrument.

    5 When personally recommending financial instruments for which a prospectus is required (Articles 35 to 37), financial service providers shall make this prospectus available to their retail client free of charge upon request.

    6 Advertising must be indicated as such.
