By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and
uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that predictions,
forecasts, projections and other outcomes described or implied in

important factors could cause results to differ materially from the plans,

particular; (iii) the ability of counterparties to meet their obligations to us;
(iv) the effects of, and changes in, fiscal, monetary, trade and tax policies,
and currency fluctuations; (v) political and social developments, including war,

controls, expropriation, nationalization or confiscation of assets in countries
in which we conduct our operations; (vii) the ability to maintain sufficient
liquidity and access capital markets; (viii) operational factors such as systems
failure, human error, or the failure to properly implement procedures; (ix)
actions taken by regulators with respect to our business and practices in one or
more of the countries in which we conduct our operations; (x) the effects of
changes in laws, regulations or accounting policies or practices; (xi)
competition in geographic and business areas in which we conduct our operations;
(xii) the ability to retain and recruit qualified personnel; (xiii) the ability
to maintain our reputation and promote our brands; (xiv) the ability to increase
market share and control expenses; (xv) technological changes; (xvi) the timely
development and acceptance of our new products and services and the perceived
overall value of these products and services by users; (xvii) acquisitions,
including the ability to integrate successfully acquired businesses; (xviii) the
adverse resolution of litigation and other contingencies; and (xix) our success
at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.
We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive;
when evaluating forward-looking statements, you should carefully consider the
foregoing factors and other uncertainties and events, as well as the risks
identified in the most recently filed Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K
furnished by Capital One Investment Bank Group AG to the US Securities and Exchange

Risk Considerations
Past performance should not be taken as an indication or guarantee of future
performance, and no representation or warranty, express or implied, is made
regarding future performance. Investing entails risks, including possible loss
of principal. The price of, value of and income from securities or financial
instruments can fall as well as rise. Certain investments are subject to high
volatility, and may experience sudden and large falls in their value. Losses may
equal or exceed your original investment. Foreign currency-denominated
securities and financial instruments are subject to fluctuations in exchange
rates that may have a positive or adverse effect on the value, price or income
of such securities or financial instruments. Some investments may not be readily
realisable and it may be difficult to sell or realise those investments.
Similarly it may prove difficult for you to obtain reliable information about
the value, or risks, to which such an investment is exposed. There are also
special risk considerations associated with international and global investing
(especially emerging markets), small-company investing, single-industry funds or
investment strategies, single-country or regional funds or investment
strategies, or other special, aggressive or concentrated investment strategies,
such as the use of leverage or derivatives. Investors in securities effectively
assume these risks.
