General Advice

All information provided by Fintech Equity is general advice only. It does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. Before acting on any general advice, you should consider the appropriateness of the general advice having regard to your objectives, financial situation and needs. Some investment products issue a Product Disclosure Statement or Information Memorandum (Disclosure Document).

Fintech Equity recommends consulting a qualified financial adviser or stockbroker before making an investment decision.

When using our Website and making, or possibly making, any investment decision (buying or selling a financial product), you should always consider obtaining independent legal, financial, taxation or other advice to check how the information relates to your unique individual circumstances.

S&P Index Values

You must not store, reproduce or further distribute the S&P Index Values to any third party for any purpose in any format or by any means, including via the internet, intranet or other type of network.

Risk Warning

Investments go up and down. All indications of performance or return are historical and cannot be relied upon as an indicator of future performance or return.

Fintech Equity can’t stress enough; investing is risky and can result in loss of capital. Past results generated with the benefit of hindsight should not be relied upon to accurately predict future returns. Please consult a licensed adviser to see if the strategy is right for you.

Performance Disclaimer

Simulated results are calculated in perfect conditions without slippage. Back-testing ignores real-life issues like liquidity, taxation and human error.
