A Citi Entity may owe professional and fiduciary obligations to persons other than the holders of the Structured Product. The interests of these other persons may differ from the interests of the holders of a Structured Product and in such situations, the Citi Entity may take decisions which adversely affect such holders.
A Citi Entity may have or have had interests or long or short positions in any financial instruments underlying the Structured Product or other financial instruments referred to on this section of the Website and may at any time make purchases and/or sales in them as principal or agent. In addition, Citi and/or its affiliates may act or have acted as market maker in respect of an underlying financial instrument or entered into an arrangement to hedge the market risk associated with such financial instrument.
Citi has a conflicts of interest policy which specifies the procedures that it follows and the measures that it has adopted in order to avoid such conflicts or to manage such conflicts in a way that ensures fair treatment for its clients.
