B. Information on the offered financial services
Triaxis Ltd. provides asset management services, portfolio-based and transaction-based investment advisory services as well as execution-only services to its clients. In the case of a transaction-based investment advisory mandate with the financial institution, a personal recommendation relating to individual financial instruments is provided to the client. The decision to buy or sell remains always ultimately with the client.
Triaxis Ltd. does not guarantee any yield nor performance of investment activities. The investment activity can therefore lead to an appreciation or a depreciation in value.
C. Client segmentation
Financial service providers are required to classify their customers into a client segmentation according to the law and adhere to the respective code-of-conduct. The Financial Services Act provides for «retail customers», «professional customers» and «institutional customers» segments. For each customer, a customer classification is determined within the framework of the cooperation with the financial institution. Subject to certain conditions, the customer may change the customer classification by opting in or opting out.
D. Information on risks and costs
General risks associated with financial instruments transactions
The investment advisory and asset management services involve financial risks. Triaxis Ltd. shall provide all clients with the «Risks associated with Financial Instruments Transactions» brochure prior to the execution of the contract. This brochure can also be found at www.swissbanking.org .
Clients of Triaxis Ltd. may contact their client advisor at any time if they have any further questions.
Risks associated with the offered services
For a description of the various risks that may arise from the investment strategy for clients’ assets, please refer to the relevant Investment advisory or asset management agreements.
In the case of investment advice, the financial institution shall provide its retail clients with the basic information sheet of the recommended financial instrument.
Information on costs
A fee is charged for the services rendered, which is usually calculated on the assets under management and/or on a performance basis. For more detailed information, please refer to the relevant investment advisory or asset management agreements.

The financial institution’s own collective investments can – where appropriate – be used in the asset management mandates or recommended as part of investment advice.
