GIC Rates (‘GIC Rates’) provides general financial product advice only. As a result, this document, and any information or advice, has been provided by GIC Rates without considering one or more of your objectives, financial situation and needs. Because of this, you should, before acting on any advice from GIC Rates, consider the appropriateness of the advice having regard to your objectives, financial situation and needs. If this document, or any advice, relates to the acquisition, or possible acquisition, of a particular financial product, you should obtain a product disclosure statement relating to the product and consider the statement before making any decision about whether to acquire the product. Neither GIC Rates, nor any of its directors, authorised representatives, employees, or agents, make any representation or warranty as to the reliability, accuracy, or completeness, of this document or any advice. Nor do they accept any liability or responsibility arising in any way (including negligence) for errors in, or omissions from, this document or advice. GIC Rates, its employees and related parties earn fees and revenue from dealing in the securities as principal or otherwise and may have an interest in any securities mentioned in this document. Any reference to credit ratings of companies, entities or financial products must only be relied upon by a ‘wholesale client’ as that term is defined in section 761G of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). GIC Rates strongly recommends that you seek independent accounting, financial, taxation and legal advice, tailored to your specific objectives, financial situation and needs, prior to making any investment decision. GIC Rates does not provide tax advice and is not a registered tax agent or tax or financial advisor, nor are any of GIC Rates’s employees or authorised representatives. GIC Rates does not make a market in the securities or products that may be referred to in this document.

An investment in notes, bonds or securities should not be compared to a bank deposit. Notes, bonds and securities have a greater risk of loss of some or all of an investor’s capital when compared to bank deposits. Past performance of any product described in any communication from GIC Rates is not a reliable indication of future performance. Forecasts contained in this document are predictive in character and based on assumptions, such as a 2.5% p.a. assumed rate of inflation (unless otherwise specified), foreign exchange rates, or forward interest rate curves generally available at the time, and no reliance should be placed on the accuracy of any forecast information. The actual results may differ substantially from the forecasts and are subject to change without further notice. GIC Rates may quote to you an estimated yield when you purchase a bond. This yield may be calculated by GIC Rates on either A) a yield to maturity date basis; or B) a yield to early redemption date basis. Some bond issuances include multiple early redemption dates and prices, therefore the realised yield earned by you on the bond may differ from the yield estimated or quoted by GIC Rates at the time of your purchase. The information in this document is strictly confidential. If you are not the intended recipient of the information contained in this document, you may not disclose or use the information in any way. No liability is accepted for any unauthorised use of the information contained in this document. GIC Rates is the owner of the copyright material in this document unless otherwise specified.
