Dealing with conflicts of interest

In accordance with statutory provisions, Reuss Private Access AG (RPAc) must provide information on conflicts of interest and disclose them. In the following, we therefore provide information on the extensive precautions and measures for dealing with conflicts of interest:

Conflicts of interest may arise, for example, between RPAc, other companies of the Reuss Private Group, our management, our employees or other persons associated with us, contractually bound intermediaries and our clients or between our clients.

Possible sources of conflicts of interest

In asset management from our own (revenue) interest in the sale of financial instruments, in particular the Group’s own products;
through the use of contractually bound intermediaries under our liability umbrella;
by receiving or granting benefits from third parties or to third parties;
through performance-related remuneration of employees;
by granting benefits to our employees;
by obtaining information that is not publicly known;
from personal relationships of our employees or the management or persons associated with them; or
from the participation of these persons in boards of directors or other bodies.

Measures taken

In order to prevent extraneous interests from influencing our services or our actions, we have committed ourselves to high ethical standards. We expect ourselves, our employees and affiliated companies to act with care and honesty, lawfully and professionally at all times, to comply with market standards and, in particular, to always act in the interests of the customer.

In particular, we take the following measures to avoid conflicts of interest:

Creation of organisational procedures and processes;
Regulations on the acceptance and granting of benefits and their disclosure;
Creation of areas of confidentiality through the establishment of information barriers, the separation of responsibilities and/or physical separation;
Maintaining an ongoing register of conflicts of interest;
Disclosure to the Legal & Compliance department of securities transactions by employees whose activities may give rise to conflicts of interest;
Training of our employees;
Ongoing monitoring and reporting of identified conflicts by the Legal & Compliance department.
If a conflict of interest cannot be neutralised, measures are taken up to and including the termination or non-establishment of a business relationship.
