If the issuer is not the company carrying out the project, the asset management companies must provide the client, via their website and prior to any subscription, with the information referred to in Article 217-1 pertaining to the company carrying out the project and, where applicable, to those companies intervening between the company carrying out the project and that making the offer. Information must be provided on any contractual agreements between the abovementioned companies, whenever such agreements exist.
The asset management companies are responsible for checking the consistency, clarity and balance of this information.
To make this information easily accessible, all these items must be written in non-technical language.
III. – All advertisements must contain prominent and easily-accessible reference to the risks inherent to the proposed investments and, in particular, the risk of total or partial loss of capital and illiquidity risk.
