Fractional Stocks Tos.41c54c0d
The following risk warnings apply to Fractional Stocks offered by CM-Equity AG ("CM-E")
with headquarters in Munich, Germany (HRB 143533). Fractional Stocks can only be bought
and sold with crypto assets. Any dividend payments are also made in crypto assets.
The following list of risks is not exhaustive, nor are all risks equally pronounced for each
complex financial instrument. The nature and extent of the risks can only be determined
for a specific financial instrument. In principle, several risks can occur together and
reinforce each other.
1. Fractional Stocks
Fractional Stocks are derivatives whose performance is linked to the price development
of a specific stock ("underlying"). Fractional Stocks can only be purchased with the
respective permitted cryptographic values. Receivables from Fractional Stocks are
settled exclusively with cash or by exchanging crypto assets. They are not transferable
and can only be sold back to CM-E. Trading on a stock exchange does not take place
(so-called OTC derivative). Fractional Stocks exclusively reflect the economic
development of the respective underlying asset, which is composed of the market value
and any dividends. This means that buyers of Fractional Stocks have no claim to
delivery of the underlying asset nor do they have any shareholder rights - such as voting
rights.
Each Fractional Stock has a specific Underlying. This underlying asset can be a specific
share, a so-called index fund (so-called Exchange Traded Fund or ETF), a commodity
(for example gold) or a currency (for example US dollar).
2. Crypto Assets
Crypto assets are financial instruments according to Sec. 1 para 11 s. 1 No. 10 German
Banking Act (KWG). They are defined in Section 1 (11) sentence 4 KWG as digital
representations of an asset that has not been issued or guaranteed by any central bank
or public authority and does not have the legal status of a currency or money, but is
accepted by natural persons or legal entities as a means of exchange or payment by
virtue of an agreement or actual practice, or serves investment purposes and can be
transferred, stored and traded electronically. Crypto assets include, for example, so-
called crypto currencies such as Bitcoin, Ether, etc.
3. Key Risks
The main risks associated with Fractional Stocks and crypto assets are described below.
A negative development cannot be ruled out despite the positive results of the past and
the necessary care of those responsible for trading. An investment in the aforementioned
asset classes should be selected with a view to asset diversification and should only
account for a small proportion of total assets. Past returns are no guarantee of future
performance. Fractional Stocks involve considerable risks.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Fractional Stocks are subject to high fluctuation as their value is determined by market prices
of the respective underlying which cannot be influenced by the issuer. Therefore, by
purchasing or selling Fractional Stocks, you have no right to cancel your order by law
according to § 312g para. 2 No. 7 German Civil Code (BGB).
