What kinds of financial services are provided?

Market Index is authorised to provide retail and wholesale clients with:

  • General advice in Securities; and

Market Index provides general advice only. We do 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). If one exists, you should obtain a copy of the Disclosure Document and review it thoroughly before making a decision about whether to acquire the product.

Market Index recommends consulting a qualified financial adviser or stockbroker before making an investment decision.

How is Market Index remunerated in relation to the financial advice provided?

Market Index is remunerated by charging a subscription fee to access its subscription services, or by a once-off fee to purchase a product. No commissions are received.

Are there any associations or relationships that might influence the financial advice?

Market Index has no commercial arrangements that might influence the financial advice we provide.

All Market Index staff must comply with our internal Staff Trading Policy that forbids journalists and content writers from trading in a security within seven calendar days before or after publishing an article in the News section.

What risks are involved when investing?

Market Index provides general advice relating to Australian Securities Exchange listed securities (companies). Investing in securities carry a financial risk that in extreme cases might involve losing 100% of your initial investment.

Performance Disclaimer

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

Market Index 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 predict future returns.
