The following updates were made to the Financial Services Guide (FSG) effective 16 June 2022.

1. Updated wording to ‘How are our staff remunerated?’ section

• Removed: “Our staff are remunerated by salary from the Participant and do not directly receive any commissions or fees. They may be eligible for a bonus payment. Some staff bonus payments may be up to 45% of fees that the Participant receives from the placement of a financial product. These bonus payments are discretionary, and based on achievement of pre-determined business objectives.”
• Replaced with: “Our staff are remunerated by salary from the Participant and do not directly receive any commissions or fees. They may be eligible for a bonus payment of up to 45%. These bonus payments are discretionary and based on achievement of pre-determined business objectives.”

2. Added a new paragraph under ‘How is customer information dealt with?’

• “We will provide notifications, information and important documents to you about your account and/or financial products and/or services offered either to the email address you last notified to us, or on our website. Also we may use other electronic means to notify you of amendments/s and provide information about where you can access full details of the amendment/s. If you do not want to receive information via electronic methods, please contact us.”

3. Added a new paragraph under ‘Brokerage’

• “Unless otherwise indicated, where a fee or charge is expressed as a percentage, it refers to a percentage of the transaction value. For GST rounding reasons, the final brokerage fee may result in a slight variance from the stated or expected charge, which may exceed two cents for large trades.”

4. Updated any Chi-X references to Cboe to reflect the change of name of the market operator
