What we're authorised to do.

Services

Each service we provide, what it means, and who it's available to.

A note on client categories. Australian financial services law splits clients into two groups - retail and wholesale. Wholesale clients are broadly larger or more experienced investors who meet tests in the Corporations Act; everyone else is retail. Retail clients get additional legal protections. Some services are open to both groups, some to wholesale clients only, and it's noted under each.

All services are provided under AFSL No. 444731.

Explaining your options — general financial product advice

Available to: retail and wholesale clients

We explain how investments work, what they cost, and what can go wrong, across:

Deposit Products - Basic and non-basic term deposit: everyday accounts, term deposits, cash management accounts and certain structured deposit products, whose returns depend on other factors.

Government bonds, debentures and stocks
Shares and exchange-traded funds
Managed funds and other managed investment schemes
Derivatives, including exchange-traded options and futures
Foreign exchange contracts
Standard margin lending facilities

This is general advice. It doesn't take account of your objectives, financial situation or needs. Before acting on it, consider whether it fits your circumstances and read any disclosure document for the product. If you want advice built around your situation, you need an adviser authorised to give personal advice — we aren't.

Acting on your instructions — dealing

Available to: retail and wholesale clients

We apply for, acquire, vary and dispose of investments on your behalf across deposits, government bonds, shares and ETFs, managed funds, derivatives and foreign exchange contracts.

We act on your instructions. We don't manage portfolios at our own discretion.

Arranging facilities

Available to: retail and wholesale clients

We arrange for other providers to deal with you in:

Managed funds and other managed investment schemes
Standard margin lending facilities

Holding and recording — custody and depository services

Available to: retail and wholesale clients

We provide custodial and depository services alongside our dealing services.

Your investments are held with our appointed third-party custodians.
They're held and recorded separately from WenVest's own assets.
We keep records of what you hold.

Custody doesn't protect against investment loss. Your investments still rise and fall with the market.

Issuing to wholesale clients

Available to: wholesale clients only

For wholesale clients we're authorised to issue managed investment schemes and securities on our own account. This doesn't extend to retail clients — for retail clients we act on your behalf only.
