Disclaimer
BR Securities Australia Pty Ltd authorised representatives provide financial advice as honest and reasonable opinions held at a point in time about an investment’s risk profile and merit and the information is provided in good faith. The views of any adviser(s) do not necessarily reflect the views of the AFS Licensee. Our representatives have no obligation to update their advice unless currently contracted to do so. Our representatives do not warrant the accuracy of any information they source from others. All statements as to future matters are not guaranteed to be accurate and any statements as to past performance do not represent future performance. Assessment of risk can be subjective.
Portfolios of equity investments need to be well diversified and the risk appropriate for the investor. Equity investments in listed or unlisted companies yet to achieve a profit or with an equity value less than $50 million should collectively be a small component of a balanced portfolio, with smaller individual investment sizes than otherwise.
The science of climate change is common knowledge and its impacts may damage the global economy. Mitigating climate change may also disrupt the global economy. Investors need to make their own assessments and we disclaim any liability for the adverse impact of either climate change or mitigating strategies on any investment we recommend.
Investors are responsible for their own investment decisions, unless a contract stipulates otherwise. Our representatives do not stand behind the capital value or performance of any investment. Subject to any terms implied by law and which cannot be excluded, our representatives shall not be liable for any errors, omissions, defects or misrepresentations in the information (including by reasons of negligence, negligent misstatement or otherwise) or for any loss or damage (whether direct or indirect) suffered by persons who use or rely on the information. If any law prohibits the exclusion of such liability, our representatives limit liability to the re-supply of the Information, provided that such limitation is permitted by law and is fair and reasonable.
