All information contained on this Website is provided for information purposes only and constitutes a presentation of products, services, research and analysis recognised and created by Natixis.

2. Information relating to financial products and indices +

The financial products and indices described on this Website may not prove to be appropriate investment instruments for all users. Access to the financial products and indices described on this Website may be subject to restrictions for certain persons or in certain countries. None of the financial products and indices presented here will be provided by Natixis to a person if this is prohibited by the law of their country of origin or of another country which may apply to them. The user is asked to make sure that he/she is legally authorised to connect to this Website in the country from which the connection is made. Furthermore, purchases relating to these financial products and indices may entail risks. Potential investors should be aware that the value of all financial products and indices may decrease, even to zero, and they could therefore lose all of their initial investment. The information concerning the performance of financial products and indices always refers to the past. Historic trends are not to be used as a basis for the projection of performance or future trends regarding the financial product or index in question. Similarly, historic trends cannot, under any circumstances, represent a guarantee of future performance. Furthermore, the values and prices available on this Website referring to a specific financial product, any other financial product or underlying asset may not reflect the value or the price available on their respective market at the time at which the user is ready to buy or sell a specific financial product or currency. The values and prices available on the Website do not take into account transaction amounts. The amount associated with a transaction can therefore lead to a difference in values and prices. Under no circumstances does Natixis offer a guarantee: a) that the financial products and indices presented on this Website are suited to investors; b) on the accounting or tax consequences of an investment from among the financial products and indices presented; c) on the future performance of any financial products and indices; d) on the communication of a notice to the users of this Website at the appropriate time and on the accuracy of the information when the indicated limits are reached. Investors should consider all the risks before investing in any financial product or index and should consult (as necessary) an independent financial adviser as well as a legal, accounting or tax advisor, regardless of the investment selected. A user’s access to this Website or to any information available on this Website does not mean that the user becomes a Natixis client. Furthermore, Natixis does not assume any obligations or responsibilities toward any user of this Website: in particular, it should be noted that no agreement about a transmission of information will be concluded between Natixis and the user. Natixis makes every effort to ensure that information published on this Website is accurate and up to date, and reserves the right to correct the content at any time without notice.
