Every fund management company is required by law to display a disclaimer containing regulatory information. This text, often visible as soon as you enter a website, must include a certain amount of essential information to guarantee transparency and protection for potential investors. But beyond its regulatory function, the disclaimer can become a strategic tool for personalizing the user experience and optimizing overall site compliance.
What information should be included in a disclaimer?
A disclaimer for a fund management company must contain several key elements to meet legal requirements. These include :
- Risk warnings: A clear and precise warning of the risks associated with investing in the financial products offered by the company. This includes possible capital losses and the specific risks associated with different types of investment.
- Legal disclaimer: Full identification of the company, including name, registered office, legal status, and the name of the regulatory authority under which it operates.
- Information on past performance: Please note that past performance is not a guide to future results, to avoid any illusions on the part of the investor.
- Geographical restrictions: Information on restrictions on access to financial products depending on the visitor’s jurisdiction.
A tool for personalizing the user experience
While the disclaimer is primarily designed to meet legal obligations, it can also be used strategically to enhance the visitor experience. In fact, by asking visitors to specify their investor profile, country of residence and language, the site can automatically adapt the content displayed.
For example, a professional investor based in France will not see the same information as an individual investor living in Switzerland. In this way, the site can filter content to show only those financial products suited to the user’s profile, while respecting geographical restrictions and language preferences. This personalization not only ensures compliance with local regulations, but also enhances the relevance of content for each visitor, increasing the chances of conversion.
Integrating RGPD compliance with the disclaimer
The disclaimer can also play a crucial role in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation(GDPR). By integrating cookie management directly into the disclaimer, companies can inform visitors about how their data will be used and offer them a simple way to manage their preferences. This limits the repetitive display of cookie management popups, improving the user experience while ensuring ongoing compliance with RGPD requirements.
Track and analyze visitor choices
Finally, installing statistics to track the choices made by visitors in the disclaimer can provide valuable information to better understand their profile and preferences. Of course, this data collection must be carried out anonymously to respect users’ privacy.
These statistics can be used to identify trends among visitors, such as the most frequent investor profiles or the most represented geographical regions. This information can then be used to refine the site’s content strategy, optimize offers and improve the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
A disclaimer allows you to :
- Display mandatory regulatory information
- Allow visitors to select the language used on your site
- Filter your site content and funds by country (distribution)
- Filter your site content and funds by investor profile
- To set and validate the use of cookies
- Obtain statistics on the profiles of investors visiting your site
