Such clarification can likewise be dispensed with in the case of listed companies from non-EU countries in which the transparency requirements in terms of share of voting rights are equivalent to those under EU law, and also in other cases coming within the scope of Article 5 Section 2 of the German Money Laundering Act.

5 Exclusion of investment advice
Baader Bank Aktiengesellschaft (hereinafter referred to as “Bank”) merely carries out transactions in financial instruments and does not offer any individual investment advice within the framework of the opening of this account/deposit. Portfolio management is a separate sphere of activity, for which a portfolio management contract is required. If the Bank provides the client with information (market commentaries, charts and analyses, etc.) extending beyond the obligations to provide clarification of the Securities Trading Act, this is not investment advice; rather it is merely intended to make it easier for the client to make independent investment decisions. Insofar as the Bank receives orders to carry out transactions in financial instruments – based on the advice of an external portfolio manager – this is also not investment advice by or for the account of the Bank. If your external portfolio manager sends the bank orders to carry out transactions in financial instruments, the latter will be acting as an intermediary for you.
6 Miscellaneous
No right exists to pay cash in and out of the bank’s accounts. No individual tax certificates will be issued, merely annual tax certificates. The bank draws attention to the fact that no voting rights will be exercised for clients. No the request of the client, entrance tickets/proxies for the respective shareholders’ meeting will be requested.
