Financial Services Guide

The Financial Services Guide (‘FSG’) is an important document which Skybound Fidelis Investment Limited (‘Skybound Fidelis, ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’) as an Australian Financial Services (‘AFS’) Licensee is required to provide to you.

If you are interested in applying directly for Skybound Fidelis products, this FSG is designed to help you consider whether to apply for Skybound Fidelis products and provide you with an understanding of what to expect from our relationship. The FSG contains important information about:

• who we are and how we can be contacted;

• the types of products we are authorised to provide;

• how we are remunerated;

• conflicts of interest; and

• internal and external dispute resolution procedures and how you can access them.

  Any advice which we give you will be of a general nature only and will not take account of your objectives, financial situation or needs. If you want personal financial product advice that takes into account your objectives, financial situation or needs, you should contact a financial adviser.
