FinClear Execution Ltd (ABN 56 061 751 102, AFSL 246842)
This Financial Services Guide (FSG) supplements the FinClear Execution Limited (FinEx) FSG dated 15 October 2021 and provides further information about FinEx’s Managed Discretionary Account (MDA) service, also known as the Managed Discretionary Account Service and is designed to assist you in making an informed decision about whether to use our Managed Discretionary Account Service. Both our FSGs are important documents and should be read together and kept with your financial records.
FinEx has commercial arrangements in place with various AFSL licensees to act as Investment Managers. These Investment Managers have been approved by FinEx to provide FinEx with Model Portfolios and Research which FinEx uses for its Managed Discretionary Account Service.
Your financial adviser (FSP), whose name appears in the FinEx Managed Discretionary Account Agreement, has recommended a direct investment in an ASX listed portfolio using the FinEx Managed Discretionary Account Service which gives you access to a number of notional portfolios maintained by FinEx. Each notional portfolio has different collective investment/risk characteristics and your FSP has recommended the FinEx Approved Model Portfolio.
The FinEx Model Portfolios are “notional” or hypothetical portfolios. They do not consider or take into account any tax considerations.
Under the Managed Discretionary Account Service, FinEx will establish a portfolio of financial products on your behalf which mirrors the selected Model Portfolio.
Your portfolio will be held in a FinEx CHESS Sponsored Account. FinEx will or will arrange for a third party provider (PAS Agent) to monitor and manage the Model Portfolio and when changes are made to the notional portfolio, FinEx will (using its discretionary authority) implement any investment changes to your portfolio on your behalf. FinEx and/or the PAS Agent will report directly to you each quarter and will send you a Confirmation each time an investment change is made to your portfolio.
This Supplementary FSG complies with the ASIC Corporations (Managed Discretionary Account Services) Instrument 2016/968, a copy of which you may obtain either from us on request or from ASIC’s website (asic.gov.au).
Before signing any documentation in relation to appoint us to manage and maintain a Managed Discretionary Account Service, it is most important that you understand all of the material completely. You should consider seeking advice from your Solicitor. Please feel free to ask your FSP or FinEx for more information. Be sure to ask us for an explanation of anything in the documentation which is not clear to you.
The purpose of this Supplementary FSG is to provide information about:
10.How rights relating to your portfolio are to be exercised, including the right to vote at General Meetings.
The FinEx Managed Discretionary Account Service is a managed discretionary account. If your FSP has recommended that you invest in the FinEx Managed Discretionary Account Service and recommended a FinEx Approved Model Portfolio, an account and associated portfolio (your Portfolio) will be established in your name, which is used to make investments on your behalf in a narrow range of financial products. The investments in your Portfolio are limited to financial products which mirror the Model Portfolio recommended to you by your FSP. Your securities will be held in your name in a FinEx CHESS Sponsored
Account. It is an essential element of the Managed Discretionary Account Service that you open an account with FinEx and give FinEx a limited discretionary authority to implement change to your portfolio, as and when changes are made to the Model Portfolio without first having to refer the changes to you or your FSP. Your authority is part of the Managed Discretionary Account Agreement and is limited. On a day to day basis, FinEx and its representatives are obliged to monitor and manage the Model Portfolio in accordance with the Model Portfolio’s strategy.
Your FSP has completed an Investment Program for you which is presented as a Schedule to the Managed Discretionary Account Agreement and forms part of the Managed Discretionary Account Agreement.
The discretionary authority you provide to us, allows us to deal and invest on your behalf at any time and to bind you to those dealings or investments as if you’d given us the order or other instructions yourself.
Provided that we act in accordance with the discretionary authority you have given us, you must accept and settle any transaction to your portfolio. You cannot refuse to accept any transaction (e.g. a sale consistent with a change to the Model Portfolio) just because you didn’t give us direct instructions for that transaction. At all times you will be the beneficial owner of holdings or funds in your portfolio, but we will control day-to-day trading or investment on your portfolio. FinEx will send transaction Confirmations (previously known as contract notes) to you after every market-executed transaction.
You will be able to monitor your portfolio by accessing a portal that will be provided by FinEx. FinEx and/or the PAS Agent will report to you directly each Quarter (or more frequently if you require and we agree). You are free to meet or consult with your FSP regarding your portfolio, or you may contact FinEx directly. You must contact your FSP to contribute further funds or holdings to your portfolio.
You may at anytime withdraw holdings or funds. You may override any or all these discretions for any period you determine by instruction (either in person, by telephone, facsimile or post) to your FSP. However, if you do this, FinEx reserves the right to terminate the Managed Discretionary Account Service and change your portfolio and associated account to an ordinary account with FinEx held outside this service. You should always take an active interest in your portfolio, monitor its progress and consider our Reports carefully.
Your FSP has recommended a direct investment in ASX listed financial products using the stocks selected for the recommended FinEx Approved Model Portfolio. These stocks will be held in your FinEx CHESS Sponsored Account and will not be pooled with any other assets. Our Managed Discretionary Account Service does not extend to dealings or investments in futures, commodity contracts, options or derivatives. Although you have the right to give us instructions on your account at any time, to withdraw funds or override the discretionary authorities given to us in the Managed Discretionary Account Agreement, you should consider this carefully before doing so.
Your portfolio is constructed to strictly follow the recommended Model Portfolio developed by the Investment Manager and actions are taken on your Portfolio to mirror any investment changes made by the Investment Manager to the Model Portfolio. The Managed Discretionary Account Service involves a very narrow authority and requires us to constantly monitor the Model Portfolio.
These arrangements have been designed with limited client contact in mind and to minimise the administration necessary (and related costs) in support of the Managed Discretionary Account Service.
Your FSP has recommended one or more FinEx Approved Model Portfolios as being appropriate for your investment strategy. The Approved Model Portfolio recommended by your FSP is detailed in the Investment Program / Statement of Advice (SOA) prepared by your FSP. Please refer to these documents or your FSP for further details on the Approved Model Portfolio including the investment profile of each portfolio.
The FinEx Approved Model Portfolios are “notional” or hypothetical portfolios and they do not consider any tax considerations.
FinEx will only trade under the discretionary authority when an investment change has been made to the FinEx Approved Model Portfolio. You acknowledge that the Discretionary Authority will also permit us to, if required, to rebalance your portfolio. You will receive a Confirmation for each transaction in your Managed Discretionary Account Service.
Other trading may occur under instruction from your FSP or from you directly.
A Management Fee is charged on the value of your FinEx Managed Discretionary Account Portfolio at the end of each month and this charge will be detailed in full on your quarterly and annual investor reports. Details of the fee and how FinEx will receive the fee (e.g. directly from your nominated bank account or via your FSP) will be agreed with you on establishment of your account.
Please see Appendix A to this Supplementary FSG for further details about fees and costs in relation to the MDA. FinEx will charge and retain the Management Fee that is charged based on the value of your FinEx Managed Discretionary Account Portfolio. Your FSP may also mark up the Management Fee and retain their portion of the Management Fee (details of which should be in your FSP’s FSG). FinEx may from time to time participate in the placement, underwriting or sub-underwriting of financial products. For its role, FinEx usually receives a fee of up to 5% of the value of the issue from the issuer of the Financial Product. This fee will cover the placement of Financial Products, balance sheet risk, processing of applications and distribution and administration functions. These fees are not payable by you.
The various categories of risk summarised in our FSG, which are applicable to any direct investment in financial products traded on financial markets (e.g. ASX), apply to your portfolio. Model Portfolio investment philosophy is designed to reduce risk, but there can never be ‘no risk’. A point you should consider carefully is that even though we confirm transactions and regularly report to you in detail, your portfolio assets are invested without your direct involvement. All investment activity by FinEx must be in accordance with the discretionary authority specified in the Managed Discretionary Account Agreement and the Investment Program for the Managed Discretionary Account Service. Any unauthorised dealings by FinEx, its representatives or agents are prohibited, and should they occur, they would be reversed or refunded to your portfolio in full. We have in place review processes, professional indemnity and other insurance cover, and we are a member of Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA).
You must enter into a MDA Agreement with FinEx before we can provide you with MDA services. The MDA Agreement will include an Investment Program (or Statement of Advice) that will be prepared by your FSP in accordance with the requirements of Div 2 of Pt 7.7A of the Corporations Act, and will include the following information:
You must then;
a. read and consider our Financial Services Guide and this Supplementary FSG carefully;
b. read and consider the FinEx Account Opening documentation and the FinEx Managed Discretionary Account Agreement;
c. if you are satisfied, then sign the Account forms and Agreement and return them to your FSP,
d. contribute at least the minimum funds and/or stock holdings required.
All Agreements and Account Application material must be completed in full, signed and returned to your FSP, who will deliver it to us.
As you are the beneficial holder of all holdings and funds which make up your portfolio, any investment growth or profits are yours, and any losses are yours. We do not, and the nature of investing in financial markets is such that we cannot, guarantee any investment performance or outcome.
Monitoring and review of the FinEx Approved Model Portfolio (which your portfolio follows) is conducted by representatives of the Investment Manager.
FinEx and its representatives monitor and review the notional Model Portfolios daily. Any proposed changes to the notional Model Portfolios are discussed and approved by the Investment Manager’s equity investment committee prior to acceptance and implementation. Investment changes made by the Investment Manager to the Model Portfolio, do not take into consideration any person’s personal objectives, needs or financial situation; changes are based purely on stock selection, performance and the investment strategy of the Model Portfolio. FinEx is authorised to take up or action any proposed corporate actions as advised by the Investment Manager without approval from your FSP.
Each transaction executed on-market on your portfolio on your behalf will be confirmed to you by means of a Confirmation.
FinEx and/or the PAS Agent will report to you at least quarterly (more frequently if you require and we agree) the following information for your portfolio. The Quarterly Report will set out:
FinEx and/or the PAS Agent will provide the Quarterly Investor Report within days of the end of each quarter (i.e. 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December). FinEx and/or the PAS Agent will also provide to you an Annual Investor Report within 3 calendar months of the end of the financial year ending 30 June. The Annual Investor Report will contain all the information in the Quarterly Investor Report plus an audit report.
You may request a copy of a previous Quarterly and Annual Investor Report.
At least annually your FSP should discuss with you the on-going suitability of your Investment Program for your Portfolio. This will take into account your relevant investment objectives, financial situation and needs (i.e. your relevant personal circumstances).
FinEx will not provide tax advice to you, nor will it consider any tax requirements or obligations providing the Managed Discretionary Account Service to you or generally in considering changes to the recommended Model Portfolio. Should your FSP determine that an investment change is not appropriate for you, they will advise FinEx accordingly. Should FinEx receive notification from your FSP that the change is not appropriate, FinEx will not implement the change.
Your FSP will first consider the appropriateness of your direct investment in the Model Portfolio and the use of FinEx’s Managed Discretionary Account Service. To this end, your FSP may request that you complete a comprehensive Client Profile Questionnaire. This profile captures your particular financial situation and needs and facilitates development of an Investment Strategy, all of which is necessary to ensure the Model Portfolio is personally appropriate for you,
The ‘profile’ may be completed in consultation with your FSP. It allows you to specify your tolerance to risk, investment preferences and performance goals. It will usually relate to your entire financial situation and needs and will be wider than the Managed Discretionary Account Service that you obtain from FinEx.
Your FSP will develop an Investment Program for you, and this may include a separate Investment Program relating to your proposed investment in the portfolio dealt with under the Managed Discretionary Account (Managed Discretionary Account Investment Program). FinEx will confirm with your FSP that the Managed Discretionary Account Investment Program, recommended to you, has been completed under the terms of agreement between FinEx and your FSP.
The Managed Discretionary Account Investment Program developed by your FSP should comply with the ‘reasonable basis for personal advice’ and Statement of Advice requirements of the Corporations Act (i.e. Division 3 of Part 7.7 of the Corporations Act). It should, amongst other information, also:
Your Managed Discretionary Account Investment Program will be reviewed at least annually by your FSP and your FSP is required to attest to FinEx that this has been completed. You may request your FSP to conduct a review at any time, particularly if your circumstances or needs have changed materially. Your FSP would then again request you to complete a comprehensive Client Profile Questionnaire. You should advise your FSP of material changes to your financial situation, particular needs and investment objectives so the appropriateness of your Investment Program can be reviewed.
Your FinEx account and portfolio will be established in your name by FinEx. Your portfolio holdings will be administered by FinEx and your shares will be held directly in your name and the registration address of your portfolio holding will be FinEx’s or the address of the PAS Agent.
The mailing address we use for the Managed Discretionary Account Service (for Confirmations, Quarterly Investor Reports and Annual Investor Reports) will be your residential or postal address as nominated by you. If you have an email address, Confirmations, Quarterly Investor Reports and Annual Investor Reports may be emailed to you directly unless you reach alternative arrangements with FinEx and your FSP.
Corporate actions include such matters as dividend reinvestment plans, share purchase plans, rights issues, takeover offers, mergers, share buy- backs and voting at company general meetings. Your portfolio holdings will change as we pursue the investment strategy of the FinEx Approved Model Portfolio or respond to your direct instructions regarding contributions, withdrawal of funds or particular holdings.
The discretionary authority that you have given us, limits our discretion to deal with dividends or other “corporate actions”. As your portfolio is administered by FinEx and/or a PAS Agent:
FinEx has in place outsourcing arrangements with third party specialists to provide Portfolio Administration Services. The third party in this arrangement is known as the PAS Agent. Portfolio Administration Services may include but is not limited to:

BIC reports to the FinClear Compliance and Risk Committee.
Subsequent to the BIC, FinEx actively monitors its third party agents to ensure the requisite services meet the agreed performance criteria. This includes:
For the FinClear Professionally Managed Portfolio service, FinEx utilise: The Trustee for Supercentric Trust TAS Super Centric

DID YOU KNOW?
Small differences in both investment performance and fees and costs can have a substantial impact on your long term returns.
For example, total annual fees and costs of 2% of your account balance rather than 1% could reduce your final return by up to 20% over a 30 year period (for example, reduce it from $100,000 to $80,000).
You should consider whether features such as superior investment performance or the provision of better member services justify higher fees and costs.
You may be able to negotiate to pay lower fees. Ask the fund or your financial adviser.
