The important difference between general and personal advice is explained in Sections 0 and 0, below.

Our services focus on financial products that may be applied for and settled or redeemed and settled (i.e. they are not listed but are cleared and settled by CHESS) traded or to be traded on ‘live’ markets such as those operated by ASX.
