Out-of-court settlement of disputes/Ombudsman proceedings

Excepting his or her own expenses, the ombudsman procedure is free of charge for the customer lodging the complaint. Further details are set out in the „Verfahrensordnung für die Schlichtung von Kundenbeschwerden im deutschen Bankgewerbe“ ("Code of Procedure of the German Banking Industry for the Purpose of Customer Complaints Mediation") which is available on request. Complaints must be made in writing and sent to the "Kundenbeschwerdestelle" ("Customer Complaints Department") at: Bundesverband deutscher Banken, Postfach 040307, 10062 Berlin.

 

Other custodian fees

Your attention is drawn to the fact that third party charges may be due for certain investments (for example depositary service fees for any ADR and/or GDR held). Please ensure you are aware of all charges before choosing a specific investment.

 

Exchange rate for foreign currency transactions

When converting EUR to foreign currencies or vice versa for customer transactions in foreign currencies, the bank charges for the purchase and sale of foreign currencies at the bid or ask price it calculates for interbank trading plus spread and any third party costs.

 

Expenses and incidental costs

The customer bears all expenses and incidental costs arising in connection with the business relationship (e.g. postage, taxes, commissions) which are not included in the above charges. In the absence of any agreement to the contrary, statutory regulations shall apply to services provided by the bank on behalf of the customer or in his best interests which are not included in the list of prices and services and which can only reasonably be expected in return for payment.

 

Investment units - After-hours trading

For mutual fund orders which we receive by ca. 75 minutes before cut-off time of the respective investment company we shall make every effort to forward them on the same day. Dependent from the settlement the mentioned handling time can be shortened on up to ca. 45 minutes. Orders which were entered after 6 pm shall be forwarded to the investment company the next day. Please note that orders which are not entered electronically and are received in hardcopy form utilize an extended handling time. Regularly the execution of a mutual fund order will be confirmed by the investment company the next day and then settled by the biw AG with the price delivered by the investment company. The price fixing is based on the commercial usage of the investment company (e.g. only one price fixing per week). Therefore regularly the settlement date will not accord with the order date. A same-day order transmission to the investment company is not warranted by biw AG.

Calculation of settlement price:
Purchase orders are executed at the issue price (repurchase price + initial charge) valid on the day of settlement. For sales orders the settlement takes place at the repurchase price.

You will find the scale of the standard initial charge in the legally binding mutual fund prospectus which you can request either from the bank directly or from the issuing investment company.

 

Investment units - Exchange trading

The exchange traded funds are traded continuously on both XETRA® and on the various trading floors. Orders placed through the stock exchange incur the standard fees and commissions. Orders must be placed with a stock market on which the fund is listed. We shall cancel orders with invalid stock exchanges. The standard fees for exchange traded securities will be charged.

 

Different pricing
