General Notices for Accredited Investor
General Warning: Accredited Investors are assumed to be better informed, and better able to access resources to protect their own interests, and therefore require less regulatory protection. Investors who agree to be treated as Accredited Investors therefore forgo the benefit of certain regulatory safeguards. For example, issuers of securities are exempted from issuing a full prospectus registered with the Monetary Authority of Singapore in respect of offers that are made only to Accredited Investors, and intermediaries are exempted from a number of business conduct requirements when dealing with Accredited Investors. Investors should consult a professional adviser if they do not understand any consequence of being treated as an Accredited Investor.
If at any time you no longer wish to be treated as an Accredited Investor, you may opt out and cease to be treated as an Accredited Investor by reaching out to us in writing via the edenX messaging system or at admin@edenx.global. Please allow us 14 business days from the date of receipt of your notice to effect your instruction. We will notify you once your status as a Non-Accredited Investor has been updated in our records. Please note that we will continue to treat you as an Accredited Investor until that date. This means that all services provided by edenX will continue to be exempt under the relevant consent provisions.
As a Non-Accredited Investor, the products and services provided by or through edenX cannot be made available to you.
3. Expert Investor
An Expert Investor means a person whose business involves the acquisition and disposal, or the holding, of capital markets products, whether as principal or agent.
If you are classified as an Expert Investor, you will be able to access the products and services provided by or through us.
Non-Exempt Investors
edenX is only able to deal with Institutional Investors, Accredited Investors, and Expert Investors. If you are classified as a Non-Exempt Investor, the products and services provided by or through edenX cannot be made available to you.
