This means it does not consider any person\u2019s particular financial objectives, financial situation, or financial needs. If you are an investor, you should consult a licensed adviser before acting on any information to fully understand the benefits and risk associated with the product. This is your call but that is what you should do.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>You may be surprised to learn that RAIZ Invest Australia Limited (ABN 26 604 402 815) (Raiz), an authorised representative AFSL 434776 prepared this information.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We are not allowed, and have not prepared this information to offer financial product advice or a recommendation in relation to any investments or securities. If we did give you personal advice, which we did not, then the use of the Raiz App would be a lot more expensive than the current pricing \u2013 sorry but true. You therefore should not rely on this information to make investment decisions, because it was not about you for once, and unfortunately, we cannot advise you on who or what you can rely on \u2013 again sorry.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for Raiz Invest and\/or Raiz Invest Super is available on the Raiz Invest website and App. A person must read and consider the PDS before deciding whether, or not, to acquire and\/or continue to hold interests in the financial product. We know and ASIC research shows that you probably won\u2019t, but we want you to, and we encourage you to read the PDS so you know exactly what the product does, its risks and costs. If you don\u2019t read the PDS, it\u2019s a bit like flying blind. Probably not a good idea.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The risks and fees for investing are fully set out in the PDS and include the risks that would ordinarily apply to investing. You should note, as illustrated by the global financial crisis of 2008, that sometimes\u00a0 not even professionals in the financial services sector understand the ordinary risks of investing \u2013 because by their nature many risks are unknown \u2013 but you still need to give it a go and try to understand the risks set out in the PDS.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Any returns shown or implied are not forecasts and are not reliable guides or predictors of future performance.
