All inquiries are recorded in a central system so their current status can be consulted at any time. Our aim is to answer your queries as quickly as possible and find a mutually-beneficial solution. This service is free to our investors. We will let you know if there is any unscheduled delay in resolving your query. The CSSF (Luxembourg’s supervisory authority) is responsible for handling customer complaints filed against the companies under its supervision. In this regard, the CSSF acts as an intermediary with the aim of resolving the dispute between the plaintiff and the company without having to resort to the courts. A prerequisite for initiating the out-of-court complaint resolution process before the CSSF is that the complaint is first dealt with by the financial services provider in question. To this end, all complaints must first be sent in writing to the person responsible for complaints on the management team of the relevant financial services provider. If within one month of sending your complaint to the management of the financial services provider you have not received a satisfactory answer or even confirmation of receipt, you can submit an application for your complaint to be resolved before the CSSF. Please use the following form.

Legal information on the investment calculator
Non-binding model calculation

The data provided to you, in particular the performance data, may be different in practice, which inevitably means that the end result may be quite different from your calculations.

It is not possible to carry forward a fund’s past performance into the future. The actual performance depends on the future market development and, therefore, may end up being lower or higher. To that extent, this data only amounts to a non-binding model calculation.

Fiscal aspects are not included in the sample invoice.

The performance was calculated using the BVI method, i.e. it does not include initial charges. In the event of a MorgenFund-withdrawal plan, MorgenFund LB will not make any adjustment to the withdrawal amount in respect of performance. However, the current income must be adjusted to the current value, in order to achieve the goal of consuming the target’s assets in the specified period of time.

This data only amounts to a non-binding model calculation, errors in calculation excepted.

The following applies, when using the estimated annual performance, based on the past performance of the fund: the past performance of the fund is only an indication of future performance during the period you selected. This means that the value of the period you selected is calculated retrospectively from today for the period of time specified by you and then presented as an indication of future performance, although it is not indicative of future results. The actual performance depends entirely on future market development.
