In particular, they are not an offer or solicitation to buy or sell securities and do not constitute a solicitation to make such an offer. They are intended solely as initial information and are no substitute for advice based on the individual circumstances and knowledge of the investor.
It is an analysis based on publicly available economic data. Despite careful research and the use of reliable sources, no responsibility can be taken for completeness, correctness, timeliness and accuracy.

Any investment in securities involves risks. The value of the investment and the income from it may fluctuate suddenly and substantially and therefore cannot be guaranteed. There is a possibility that the investor will not get back the full amount invested, particularly if the investment is held for only a short time. In some circumstances, a total loss is also possible.

Possible (return) payments from the product may not protect investors against inflation risk. There can be no assurance, therefore, that the purchasing power of the capital invested will not be affected by a general increase in the prices of consumer goods. Figures and information on performance refer to the past and past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
Only in the context of an investment advisory service can UniCredit Bank Austria AG take into account the personal circumstances of the customer (investment objectives, experience and knowledge, risk appetite, financial circumstances and financial loss tolerance) and carry out a product-specific suitability test.

We would like to point out that the tax treatment depends on the personal or company circumstances of the investor and that the information on tax advantages is provided on the basis of the current legal situation, which may be subject to future changes and for which no information can be given as to whether they will be continued.
