What Financial Products & Services can we provide? We have been granted a license to carry on a financial services business to: (a) provide financial product advice for the following classes of financial products: (i) derivatives; (ii) foreign exchange contracts; and (iii) securities; and (b) deal in a financial product by: (i) arranging for another person to apply for, acquire, vary or dispose of financial products in respect of the following classes of financial products: (A) derivatives; (B) foreign exchange contracts; and (C) securities; to retail and wholesale clients. Who will provide me with financial product advice? Advice is provided by our authorised representatives, for and on behalf of the International Securities & Derivatives Group. They may be an individual, or in some instances a company. You should note that your adviser may not be authorised to provide all the services we are licensed to provide you with. Please refer to the attached Adviser Profile or Supplementary FSG for specific information regarding your chosen adviser. How will financial product advice be provided to me?Your adviser may provide you with advice through a number of means including;
Please refer to the attached Adviser Profile or Supplementary FSG for specific information regarding how your chosen adviser will provide financial product advice and / or services to you. Do you provide general or personal financial product advice?The International Securities & Derivatives Group Pty Ltd and its authorised representatives provide general financial product advice only. This means that the advice has not been prepared by taking into account your personal investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs. Before acting on any general advice, you need to decide whether it is appropriate for your individual financial situation. If you are in any doubt, you should consult with a licensed investment adviser, financial planner, or accountant before making an investment or trading decision. What risks are involved in trading the financial products we may advise you on?The risk involved varies greatly depending on the instrument traded. Investing in ASX top 200 stocks for instance carries far less risk than trading speculatively in Index options. The exact risks associated with each product will be outlined in detail in the relevant PDS, which will be provided to you by your chosen broker. You should consider the information contained in the relevant PDS before investing in or trading any of the products we may advise you on. When will I receive a Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)?Once you have considered any advice we have provided you with, and decided to act on the advice, you will communicate the relevant order or instructions to your chosen broker for execution. Your broker will therefore be the product issuer or product acquirer, and therefore responsible for providing you with a PDS. When requested we will provide you with general product information as made available by the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). This information should be considered as a guide only, and is not intended to replace the PDS your broker will provide you with. What Fees and commissions do you receive?Our advisers provide a wide variety of financial products & services, and the fees you pay can vary significantly between advisers. You may pay a once-off fee to attend an educational seminar or training workshop, or you may pay a monthly subscription for regular newsletters or advisory services. Some of our advisers will supply you with software to assist you in making trading decisions. You may pay an initial purchase price for the software, and ongoing fees for support and / or data feeds. Our advisers will clearly explain all fees payable by you prior to any advice or product being offered to you, and a tax invoice will be provided to you. Please refer to the attached adviser profile or Supplementary FSG for details on the exact fee structure and if applicable, IB commission, that will remunerate your advisor.
