Risk classification of investment products

Denmark has introduced new rules about risk classification of various investment types.

Before making a specific investment you will be able to check if you risk losing part of your investment, your entire investment, or more than your investment.

Investment products are classified by the traffic lights red, yellow and green. 

See a description of each type of investment (the list is prepared by the Danish Ministry of Economic and Business Affairs).

You can consult the list before making an investment . We point out that the risk classification should not be the only basis on which you make investment decisions. We recommend that you seek supplementary information and use appropriate tools or discuss the matter with your adviser before making investment decisions.
Your adviser will give you a finer-tuned assessment of the risk involved in investing in a specific security or investment product.

It is important for us to stress that there is no connection between the investment profile attached to your portfolio and the risk classification of the individual investment products held in your portfolio.
