Important Notice

From 12 December 2007, the ‘Know Your Client’ (KYC) requirements of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing Act (AML/CTF Act) require designated service providers (which includes financial advisers and product providers) to collect and verify clients’ identification (ID) information.

The purpose of the AML/CTF Act is to monitor financial transactions and to capture client information in a way that will help detect and prevent money laundering and terrorism financing.

At this stage there is no consistent policy in place for the fund management industry. Some fund managers may not accept any new business without the investor's identity being verified, whilst others are using a transition period to implement the new regulations. As a result additional identification documents may need to be provided with investment applications. Investors should check the instructions for completing application forms and any identity document requirements provided in the product disclosure statement.

The AML/CTF form for individuals can be downloaded here. For other AML/CTF forms please email us with your request.
