When a firm provides the investment service of advice or portfolio management to a client who is unwilling to fully disclose information on his/her financial situation, can the firm assess the suitability of the envisaged transaction? If yes, under which conditions?

What are the obligations on a firm when a specific financial instrument is unsuitable for a client, in particular also in situations when the client wishes to proceed with the transaction nonetheless?

Shall a suitability report be provided to the client when the advice given is not to buy or sell a financial instrument?

Can the suitability report be sent together with the report due when carrying out an order on behalf of a client other than for portfolio management?

Can the suitability report be made available to the client on the firm’s website, with the client receiving a notification (via email or through any other means of communication) regarding the availability of this document?
