Type-Specific Precision (e.g., Investments/COBS): Confirm accurate risk and performance descriptions, explaining why tailored disclosures like warnings on simulated returns protect investors and align with MiFID-derived rules.
Type-Specific Warnings (e.g., Credit/CONC): Verify mandatory risk statements for HCSTC, highlighting why prominent alerts on repayment issues guide responsible borrowing and fulfill affordability emphases.
