Member of the Ombudsman Office for Real Assets and Investment Funds
(Ombudsstelle für Sachwerte und Investmentvermögen e.V.)
The Ombudsman Office for Real Assets and Investment Funds is the central contact point for complaints relating to investments in closed-end funds.
It serves as an independent body for the out-of-court resolution of disputes between investors and providers of closed-end funds.
This allows disagreements to be resolved quickly and without unnecessary bureaucracy.
• The Ombudsman Office is available to investors of companies that are members of the BSI.
• Its establishment represents another step toward increasing transparency and openness within the industry.
Investors in closed-end funds may contact the Ombudsman Office if they believe they have suffered a disadvantage in connection with their investment.
• The ombudsman procedure provides an objective and straightforward means of resolving individual disputes.
• Its purpose is to achieve a fair balance of interests between the parties involved.
• The procedure is free of charge for investors; they only bear their own expenses (e.g., postage and telephone costs).

Identifying and Addressing Misconduct – Whistleblowing System for Employees, Business Partners, and External Third Parties
UniCredit Invest Alternatives is committed to identifying and addressing misconduct. To facilitate the reporting of misconduct, we have established a whistleblowing system for processing reports concerning regulatory violations, fraud, and financial crime.
Through a comprehensive and sustainable compliance framework, UniCredit Invest Alternatives continuously works to identify and mitigate potential risks at an early stage, thereby protecting our company, employees, and business partners from harm.
Managers, Human Resources, and Compliance functions serve as the primary reporting and contact channels.
As an additional reporting option, our employees have access to the „SpeakUp!“ whistleblowing system. Reports can be submitted online or by telephone 24 hours a day, including anonymously, particularly regarding fraudulent conduct and financial crime.
We also take reports from business partners and other external third parties very seriously, especially those concerning human rights or environmental risks, or violations within the meaning of the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG).
Reports may contain personal data, especially where the report is submitted on a non-anonymous basis.
The following reporting channels are available to business partners and external third parties.
SIf you are one of our customers, we kindly ask you to contact our Complaint Management team as your primary point of contact.

Under the German Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG), reporting persons may choose whether to report concerns to:
an internal reporting channel within the company, or
an external reporting channel operated by public authorities.
However, where effective internal action can be taken and reporting persons do not fear retaliation, internal reporting channels should generally be preferred.
Please also note that reports submitted to external reporting authorities are subject to the more limited scope of application set out in Section 2 of the German Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG).
A link to the reporting office of the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) is available through BaFin’s offical whistleblower portal
