Document background
The Fund Solicitation Letter is a crucial document in the German investment fund industry, used when fund managers or investment companies seek to raise capital from potential investors. It serves as the initial formal communication tool for fund marketing, strictly regulated under German financial laws including the KAGB and WpHG. The document must balance promotional content with mandatory regulatory disclosures, ensuring compliance with BaFin guidelines while effectively communicating the investment opportunity. Fund Solicitation Letters are typically used during fundraising periods, when launching new investment vehicles, or when expanding an existing fund's investor base. They must include specific risk warnings, regulatory disclosures, and clear information about the investment proposition, all while adhering to German marketing restrictions for financial products.
