The Ombudsman held that the plaintiff was not categorized according to the risk that she was willing to take neither to the amount that he she was willing to invest nor to her investment knowledge and targets.
It was therefore held that the practice followed by the defendant in relation to the investment of the savings of the plaintiff, was not legitimate, since during the initial contract for the provision of investment services as well as during the revised contract the plaintiff was not treated in accordance with the applicable risk profile.
As such, the Ombudsman recommended to the defendant to compensate the plaintiff because it had invested its savings into diverse investment products without following the aforementioned legally binding categorization.
