6 Consulting services

GOLD.BIZ offers independent, fee-based consulting services by qualified consultants who specialize in the fields of business, law and finance. The advice includes recommendations for the development and implementation of an investment strategy without selling or brokering financial products. GOLD.BIZ advisors therefore act independently and neutrally and receive only a fee for their advisory services.

6.2 Recommendations for action and optional monitoring

As part of the advisory service, GOLD.BIZ provides the user with recommendations for an individually customized investment strategy. At the client's request, the strategy can be regularly monitored and adjusted. However, this monitoring service is only part of the advisory service if the client has explicitly booked it. The recommendations and monitoring are made to the best of our knowledge and on the basis of sound analyses, but do not constitute a guarantee of specific investment results.

6.3 Nature and limits of the recommendations for action

GOLD.BIZ provides independent, fee-based advisory services by qualified economists and lawyers without offering or brokering financial products. The aim of the advisory services is to provide the user with well-founded recommendations for action and strategies for guidance in financial and legal matters. These recommendations are based on comprehensive analyses, current market data and proven methods in order to create a solid basis for informed decisions. GOLD.BIZ's recommendations are not binding instructions and are not designed to take full account of the user's individual financial situation or risk appetite. Instead, they provide the user with a valuable basis for their own decision-making, whereby the ultimate responsibility for implementation and the associated decisions remains with the user.

6.4 Confidentiality and data protection in relation to advisory services

All information exchanged in the context of advisory services is treated confidentially and protected in accordance with the applicable data protection declaration. Personal data of users that is required for the advisory service is only collected and processed for the purpose of the advisory service.
