Advice and remuneration

Our business model has a two-tier structure:

1. fee (one-off and lump sum)

The AIRboard algorithm translates your financial strategy into tailor-made budgets and financial products. You receive a comprehensive evaluation and an individual financial concept with all investment and financial products tailored to your financial possibilities. AIR GmbH does not receive any remuneration in connection with the investment and financial products.

2. brokerage contract in case of implementation request (brokerage mandate)

You have two options for implementing your financial strategy:

  • You implement the investment and financial products independently or with a financial service provider of your choice.
  • You commission AIR GmbH with the implementation and in this case, in addition to point 1, you will receive a commission from the product provider for the successful brokerage of an insurance contract. This commission is not to be paid separately to AIR GmbH by the customer, but is already included in the insurance premium. If an investment portfolio is brokered, AIR GmbH receives an ongoing advisory fee based on the volume of the investment. AIR GmbH does not receive any additional premiums (premiums or similar). Any commission payments received from the investment portfolios are repaid to the investors after the bank's settlement fee. AIR GmbH does not receive any other remuneration in connection with the brokerage.

Information about issuers and providers for whose financial investments brokerage or advisory services are offered: Brokerage and advisory services are provided for financial investments from the entire range of the existing market in Germany, insofar as this is permitted within the scope of the official license as a financial investment broker/advisor pursuant to Section 34 f GewO.

Information on the remuneration for financial investment advice and brokerage:

In connection with investment advice or brokerage, the remuneration for this may be paid by the investor or by third parties (product providers) in combination. This depends on the wishes and needs of the investor and the financial products that may be brokered. Insofar as the remuneration components are paid by the investor, this is done in accordance with the separate remuneration agreement. Insofar as benefits in connection with investment advice or brokerage are provided by third parties (product providers), these may be retained.

Sustainability

Information on the inclusion of sustainability risks in advisory activities (Art. 3, 4, 5 TVO)

We are not currently pursuing an independent sustainability strategy

We offer and broker sustainable insurance and investment products.
When selecting insurance companies and insurance products, as well as investment companies and investment products, we only take into account the information provided by the insurance and investment companies. Some of this information is not yet available in full from every insurer and investment company. We are therefore not responsible for their accuracy.

The respective insurer and the respective investment company provide information on the respective consideration of sustainability risks in investment decisions in their pre-contractual information.

At present, the technical regulatory standards of the European supervisory authorities and information from insurance and investment companies are still missing in order to be able to examine in detail which adverse effects on sustainability factors exist and how these can be included in the advice.

Due to the limited information currently available from insurance and investment companies, these aspects are not currently included as standard in the advice provided.

When providing advice, we take into account the most important adverse effects on sustainability factors as far as possible. This consideration is based on the information provided by the insurance and investment companies on their products.

We are monitoring further developments and will develop our own sustainability strategy in due course, in particular taking into account adverse effects on sustainability factors as standard when providing advice.
Our remuneration for the brokerage of insurance and investment products does not vary depending on whether the recommended product takes sustainability risks into account or not.

The remuneration of our employees and sub-brokers does not vary depending on whether the recommended product takes sustainability risks into account or not.

What are sustainability risks?
Sustainability risks (known as ESG risks) are events or conditions from the three areas of environment, social and governance, the occurrence of which could have a negative impact on the value of the investment. These risks can affect individual companies as well as entire sectors or regions.

Examples of sustainability risks
Environment: As a result of climate change, an increase in extreme weather events could pose a risk. This risk is also known as physical risk. An example of this would be an extremely dry period in a certain region. This could cause the levels of transport routes such as rivers to drop to such an extent that the transportation of goods could be impaired.

Social: In the social area, risks could arise, for example, from non-compliance with labor law standards or health protection.

Corporate governance: Examples of risks in the area of corporate governance include non-compliance with tax honesty or corruption in companies.
