To develop a successful financial strategy, including recommending suitable products which will
meet your needs, we need to consider your personal circumstances and financial goals. We will ask
you for information about your financial situation and needs prior to our initial meeting, or
during our meeting to ensure our advice is appropriate for your circumstances. You have the right
not to divulge this information to us if you do not wish to do so. However, in this case, your
adviser will warn you about the possible consequences and how this may impact on the quality of the
advice provided. Your adviser may also decline to provide advice if they feel they have
insufficient information to proceed. In some instances, we will decline to provide services or
advice if we feel we have insufficient information for the scope of the service or advice
requested.

It is also important that you keep us up to date by informing us of any changes in your
circumstances, so we are able to determine if our advice continues to be appropriate. You may
contact us to update your personal information.

We keep a record of your personal information and advice documents for a period of no less than 7
years. On your request, we can provide you with a copy of this information. Charges may apply to
cover external costs incurred as a result of accessing and providing you with this information plus
a 10% administration fee.

To provide our services to you, your personal information may be transferred or disclosed overseas
as some services providers connected to the administration of your accounts and other services we
provide are located outside of Australia. Where information is transferred or disclosed overseas,
we will ensure that our contractual arrangements contain provisions requiring that the recipient
has appropriate data handling and security systems in place to prevent misuse, loss or unauthorised
disclosure in accordance with Australian Privacy laws and standards.

We are committed to implementing a Privacy Policy which will ensure the privacy and
security of your personal information. Any personal information collected from you will be
handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy details how we comply with
the requirements of the Privacy Act in the handling of our personal information. A copy
