Financial Services Guide

Market Matters Financial Services Guide (FSG) is located here, and contains important information about the financial services provided by Market Matters. You must read our FSG and consider it in the context of your Personal Circumstances before acting on any advice. By accepting the terms and conditions you are acknowledging that you have read the FSG.

Provision of the Reports

Reports and other documents published on the Market Matter’s website (‘Reports’) are authored by Market Matters. The Reports represent the views of Market Matters based on technical analysis of companies, commodities and the market in general. Technical analysis focuses on interpreting charts and other data to determine what the market sentiment about a particular financial product is, or will be. Unlike fundamental analysis, it does not involve a detailed review of the company’s financial position.

The Reports contain general, as opposed to personal advice. That means they are prepared for multiple distribution without consideration of your investment objectives, financial situation and needs (‘Personal Circumstances’). Accordingly, any advice given is not a recommendation that a particular course of action is suitable for you and the advice is therefore not to be acted on as investment advice. You must assess whether or not any advice is appropriate for your Personal Circumstances before making any investment decisions. You can either make this assessment yourself, or if you require a personal recommendation, you can seek the assistance of a financial advisor.

The Reports are published by Market Matters in good faith based on the facts known to it at the time of their preparation and do not purport to contain all relevant information with respect to the financial products to which they relate. Although the Reports are based on information obtained from sources believed to be reliable, Market Matters does not make any representation or warranty that they are accurate, complete or up to date and Market Matters accepts no obligation to correct or update the information or opinions in the Reports.

If you rely on a Report, you do so at your own risk. Any projections are estimates only and may not be realised in the future. Except to the extent that liability under any law cannot be excluded, Market Matters disclaims liability for all loss or damage arising as a result of any opinion, advice, recommendation, representation or information expressly or impliedly published in or in relation to this report notwithstanding any error or omission including negligence.

Performance

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Brokerage costs have not been included in the calculation of performance. As financial products rise and fall in value, returns may be negative. Performance figures are not intended to be a forecast. Market Matters does not guarantee the performance of or returns on any investment.

Disclosure

Employees and/or associates of Market Matters may hold one or more of the stocks reviewed on this website.
