The procedure below details the process in place for IFDSL to investigate any dissatisfaction in compliance with Luxembourg regulatory requirements.

A complaint is a written expression of dissatisfaction addressed to IFDSL to recognise a right or redress a harm and may be registered with IFDSL, free of charge. The written complaint can be a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail from a customer or an investor. Verbal complaints should be followed up by a written confirmation from the Complainant.

If you wish to express your complaint/dissatisfaction, please do not hesitate to contact any of your direct contacts within IFDSL.

If the underlying issue is likely to take us some time to investigate and resolve, an acknowledgement of our receipt of your complaint will be issued within 10 business days after the receipt of the Complaint.

A full and detailed response should be provided to you within one month of the receipt of your complaint. Where an answer cannot be provided within this period, you shall be informed of the causes of the delay and you will be informed of the date at which the response is likely to be provided.

At any stage, should you feel that you did not obtain a satisfactory answer, you may appeal directly to the Complaint Officer:
Mrs. Anni Bastienne Spurzem-Schartz, 49 Avenue J.F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg.

Your right of recourse to the Regulator and right to be informed of this:

If despite our best efforts, our answer remains dissatisfactory to you, you have the right to contact our regulator, the CSSF, directly after one month from the date when your complaint was originally sent. You must lodge your Complaint within one year after the original Complaint is lodged with IFDSL.
