This Document and/or the Investment(s) mentioned herein might not be suitable for the addressee and should not be considered as a suitability report as the bank has not received all the necessary information on the addressee to complete its suitability assessment that covers the addressee’s knowledge and experience, tolerance to risk, sustainability preferences, if any, investment needs and the addressee’s ability to absorb financial risk. Therefore, the bank accepts no fiduciary duties to any investor in this regard, except as required by applicable laws and regulations. Investor should seek independent financialadvice regarding the appropriateness of investing in any Investment(s) or adopting any strategies discussed in this Document.
