Business customers only · KYC, AML, sanctions and export control · Regulatory status · Official Truvest channels

1. Business customers only

Truvest Capital Market GmbH works exclusively with business customers (B2B): companies, entrepreneurs within the meaning of § 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB), legal entities under public law and special funds under public law. Truvest does not offer products or services to consumers.

All transactions are subject to contract, due diligence, sanctions screening and applicable law.

2. Know your customer and anti-money laundering

Truvest complies with applicable export-control, sanctions and anti-money-laundering requirements.

Counterparty verification comes before commercial terms. KYC, corporate documents and sanctions screening apply to every party to a transaction, and AML, sanctions and export-control checks are maintained for the life of the transaction.

Verification typically covers:

  • Corporate registry data and company documents
  • Ownership structure and beneficial ownership
  • Sanctions screening of the parties involved
  • Authenticity of the documents presented

If a counterparty or an offer cannot be verified, Truvest does not proceed.

3. Sanctions screening

Counterparties and transactions are screened against the sanctions regimes of the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and the United Nations. In energy transactions this includes origin restrictions and price-cap measures where applicable.

Truvest reserves the right to screen all transactions against applicable sanctions lists and to refuse or terminate transactions that would violate sanctions or export-control regulations.

4. Export control

Transactions are reviewed against the export-control rules that apply to them, including:

  • EU Dual-Use Regulation (EU) 2021/821
  • German Foreign Trade and Payments Act (AWG)
  • German Foreign Trade and Payments Ordinance (AWV)
  • Export-control laws of the destination country

The obligations of buyers regarding export licences, end use and re-export are set out in § 9 of our General Terms and Conditions.

5. Regulatory status

Truvest does not lend, does not approve credit and does not act as a lender. Where a transaction requires financing, Truvest supports its structuring and documentation; the financing decision rests with the financing party.

Truvest does not manage funds, does not accept client money and does not provide investment advice or investment brokerage. Nothing on this website constitutes an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, securities or investment products.

6. Responsible sourcing

Supply chains from conflict-affected and high-risk areas are reviewed against the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, where applicable.

In critical-minerals transactions, the responsible-sourcing review stands alongside producer verification, export permits, and sanctions and export-control screening.

7. Fraud prevention and official Truvest channels

Physical commodity markets attract fraudulent offers, particularly in fuels and metals. Third parties may also misuse the Truvest name. Please check every message against the notice below.
