General Advice Warning

The advice given by Kalkine and KSPL and provided on the Kalkine website (kalkine.com.au), in our reports/ model portfolio and other publications, and through our customer service support centre, is general advice only. This means that it does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. You should therefore consider whether the advice is appropriate to your investment objectives, financial situation and needs before acting upon it.

You should also seek advice from a financial adviser, stockbroker or other professional (including taxation and legal advice) as necessary before acting on any advice. Not all investments are appropriate for all people and we cannot guarantee the performance of, or returns on, any investment.

There may be a Product Disclosure Statement, Information Statement or other offer document for the securities or other financial products referred to on our website, in our reports or other publications, or through our customer service support centre. You should obtain a copy of the relevant Product Disclosure Statement, Information Statement or offer document and consider the statement or document before making any decision about whether to acquire the security or product.

Kalkine charges you an annual subscription fee when you subscribe to one of our research services. Our subscription fees range from $199.99 to $11,000 incl. GST per annum depending on the service you select.

Employees and directors

All employees and directors of Kalkine and KSPL receive a salary. They may also be eligible to receive performance-based bonuses (which are discretionary) if they meet a pre-set agreed performance indicator. These discretionary bonuses do not depend on the total value or number of financial products recommended to or acquired by our customers.

Neither Kalkine, KSPL, its employees, directors or any other person receives any remuneration, commission or other benefits for referring another person to Kalkine.

You can ask for more information about the particulars of the remuneration or other benefits received by Kalkine, KSPL, any other member of the Kalkine group, or their respective directors, employees or associates in relation to the provision by Kalkine or KSPL of the Services.

What to do if you have a complaint

If you have a complaint or concern about us, our customer support call centre or our subscription services, please contact us on (02) 90559490 or email [email protected]. After we receive your complaint, we will assess it and decide what (if any) action should be taken in response. The time it takes us to assess, respond to and resolve complaints generally depends on their nature and complexity.

If your complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction, and you are unhappy with our decision, you may refer your dispute to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA). There is no charge for this service, and a decision of AFCA is binding on us but not on you.

Professional indemnity insurance

We are covered by professional indemnity insurance that complies with section 912B of the Corporations Act 2001. The insurance (subject to its terms and conditions) will continue to cover claims in relation to services provided by our respective employees. 

Associations or relationships with issuers which might be capable of influencing our advice

Neither Kalkine nor KSPL has any associations or relationships with issuers of financial products which might reasonably be expected to be capable of influencing Kalkine or KSPL in providing the Services.

Kalkine’s related group entity, Kalkine Media Pty Ltd ABN 84 629 651 672 (Kalkine Media) conducts an investor relations and media business that is separate from Kalkine’s and KSPL’s businesses of providing the Services. Kalkine Media may from time to time have relationships with financial product issuers in relation to marketing, publicity and other matters which form part of Kalkine Media’s business. Kalkine has implemented conflict management processes to ensure that any relationships between Kalkine Media and product issuers as part of Kalkine Media’s separate business could not reasonably be expected to be capable of influencing Kalkine’s or KSPL’s provision of the Services.

The employees and directors of Kalkine, KSPL and their related entities are not permitted to trade in securities that are the subject of our research reports or other publications unless those persons comply with certain safeguards and procedures, including obtaining the permission of Kalkine’s compliance officer to do so and only engaging in such trades within permitted trading windows.

How do we use your personal information?

Kalkine and KSPL are committed to protecting your privacy. We do not trade, rent or sell your information. Any personal information we collect such as your name, address, phone, and email details are handled in accordance with Privacy laws. For more information about how to access the personal information we hold about you, how to have the information corrected and how to complain if you think we have breached the privacy law, ask us for a copy of our Privacy Policy or visit https://www.kalkine.com.au/cms/privacy-policy.
