The investment advisory and asset management services entail financial risks. Valère Consulting SA provides all clients with a brochure entitled "Risks in Trading with Financial Instruments" before conclusion of the contract.
Risks in connection with the service offered
Client assets are subject to market fluctuations and strategic risks. Concentration risks may arise if individual securities represent more than 10% or if issuers account for more than 20% of the total portfolio. These concentrations are monitored as part of portfolio oversight.
​

For a presentation of the risks that may result from the investment strategy for client assets, please refer to the document "Investment Profile", which is an appendix to the Asset Management Agreement.
