Dispute resolution proceedings before the ombudsman’s office of the Federal Association of Investment and Asset Management e.V. (BVI)
Consumers are natural persons who invest in funds for a purpose that cannot primarily be attributed to their commercial or independent professional activity, i.e. who act for private purposes.
To enforce their rights, investors/consumers can take legal action before the ordinary courts or, if one is available, also initiate an alternative dispute resolution procedure.
In the event of disputes in connection with provisions of the Capital Investment Code, investors/consumers can call the “Ombudsman for Investment Funds” of the BVI Federal Association of Investment and Asset Management e.V. The entire procedure before the ombudsman’s office is free of charge for you.
