Acknowledgement by Client

I acknowledge that the financial product

i.  Is not a general insurance, superannuation or retirement savings account product;

ii.  The financial product or service is not provided for use in connection with a business, and

iii.  Titan has relied on information provided by me in order to form the opinion that I have the required relevant previous knowledge and experience to determine whether I will be classified as an experienced / sophisticated investor.

The Corporations Act 2001 permits Commonwealth Government licensed Australian Financial Services licensee's to provide certain financial products and financial services, which may be more complex and sophisticated financial products and financial services, to a class of clients referred to as “sophisticated investors” who meet the benchmarks set out in section 761GA of the Corporations Act 2001. If you have been assessed by Titan as meeting those benchmarks, you will be offered the opportunity to deal with Titan as a “sophisticated investor” and you will be able to obtain financial products and financial services that are not available to ordinary retail clients.

Warning

However, there can be a trade-off in relation to being classified as a “sophisticated investor”. You should be aware that many of the “mum-and-dad” type consumer protection and disclosure provisions that apply to retail clients will not apply to you if you deal with Titan as a “sophisticated investor”. You should therefore consider this issue carefully before choosing to deal with Titan as a sophisticated investor.
