Os deveres de informação dos intermediários financeiros

: uma análise jurisprudencial

Abstract

This dissertation focuses on the subject of the information duties of financial intermediaries. The conduct of financial intermediaries greatly influences the way financial markets operate. The normal functioning of the market depends on the security and confidence that clients-investor have in it. Only in this way we can have investors willing to apply their savings in the market. It is therefore very important that financial intermediaries seek to act honestly, fairly and professionally. In order for investors to actin a conscious and informed way in the subscription of their products, it is essential that financial intermediaries are responsible for fulfilling their duties in general and in particular, for the fulfilment of the information duty. We will analyze what this duty of information consists of and the consequences of non-compliance with such duty; whether it's only on the financial intermediary that fall duties of action; if the degree of knowledge and experience of the client-investor influences the application of this regime and finally, examine how some of these issues are decided in our courts.
