Issuer risk

0302-en RE430 Financial Market Law As of 11.07.2026


Risk of an issuer not being able to meet their financial obligations. The issuer risk does not apply in the case of investment funds as the investor's assets form segregated pools, and as such are protected from claims by creditors in the event of the fund management company going bankrupt.
