Fondsprospekt

Fondsprospekt is a regulatory document that provides essential information about an investment fund to potential investors. It serves to describe the fund’s objectives, investment policy, risk profile, charges, and governance in a transparent, standardized format. The prospectus is intended to help investors make informed decisions and to ensure a level of market-wide comparability between funds.

A Fondsprospekt typically includes: basic information about the fund and its management company, the fund’s investment objective and policy, the risk factors associated with the fund, and the liquidity terms and redemption rights. It also outlines the charges and expenses that investors may incur, including entry and ongoing costs, as well as the fund’s performance history or scenarios. Additional sections cover tax considerations, eligibility criteria for investors, and the names of the depositary and other key service providers. The document often provides information on how to obtain the annual and semi-annual reports and where the prospectus can be accessed, such as the fund’s website or a regulatory authority.

Regulatory context is a central feature of Fondsprospekt. In many jurisdictions, including EU member states, the prospectus must be approved by the competent regulatory authority before the fund can be marketed to the public. The content is aligned with rules for funds such as UCITS and AIFs, and updates are required when material changes occur. It is important to note that a Fondsprospekt is a disclosure document, not a guarantee of performance; past performance is not indicative of future results, and investors should read the complete prospectus to understand risks and costs.
