Rabo Capital Securities Limited Investment Statement | i

Engaging an investment adviser
An investment adviser must give you a written statement that contains information about the adviser and his or her
ability to give advice. You are strongly encouraged to read that document and consider the information in it when
deciding whether or not to engage an adviser.
Tell the adviser what the purpose of your investment is. This is important because different investments are suitable
for different purposes, and carry different levels of risk.
The written statement should contain important information about the adviser, including:
relevant experience and qualifications, and whether dispute resolution facilities are available to you; and
what types of investments the adviser gives advice about; and
whether the advice is limited to investments offered by 1 or more particular financial institutions; and
information that may be relevant to the adviser's character, including certain criminal convictions, bankruptcy,
any adverse findings by a court against the adviser in a professional capacity, and whether the adviser has been
expelled from, or prohibited from joining, a professional body; and
any relationships likely to give rise to a conflict of interest.
The adviser must also tell you about fees and remuneration before giving you advice about an investment.
The information about fees and remuneration must include:
the nature and level of the fees you will be charged for receiving the advice; and
whether the adviser will or may receive a commission or other benefit from advising you.
An investment adviser commits an offence if he or she does not provide you with the information required.
