$Viainvest has obtained an investment brokerage firm licence;
* Issuance of the license marks the beginning of 6 months transition period within what VIAINVEST will gradually shift from selling claim rights to listing asset backed securities;
* Our investors will become subject to the investor protection mechanisms according to the requirements of the Financial Instruments Market Law and the relevant Directive (MiFID II), the Packaged Retail Investment and Insurance Products (PRIIPs), the Investor Protection Law, the Prospectus Regulation, and other applicable regulations;
* If the investment brokerage firm fails to provide investment services, retail investors are entitled to a compensation of 90% of the irrevocable loss, up to a limit of €20 000;
* During the transitional period and previously concluded assignment contracts are not protected by these investor protection mechanisms, however our existing Buyback guarantee still applies to all consumer loans listed by our loan originators;
* To ensure safe investing in financial instruments VIAINVEST is required to assign one of three possible MiFID II client status categories (retail client, professional client, or eligible counterparty) to our investors to ensure that they receive the appropriate protection and support for their level of experience, knowledge, and expertise. Investor categories will be assigned to your investor profile;
* All our new and existing investors should complete the Suitability and Appropriateness questionnaire as well as update information in the KYC questionnaire which will become available in a few upcoming months;
* The funds of those investors who have completed the Suitability and Appropriateness Assessment will be kept in a segregated bank account, thus, ensuring the safety of these funds and separating VIAINVEST’s own funds from investors’ money;
* Investing in claim rights and financial instruments involves risks. Information about risks will be available on the VIAINVEST website.
