Moreover, before investing in any bonds, regardless of which firm approaches you, do some simple practical checks:
- check ASIC’s Offer Notice Board to see if a prospectus relates to a recent offer has been registered.
- check ASIC’s register of Australian financial services licensees to make sure any party promoting or issuing the financial product is licensed or is authorised by a licensee.
- check ASIC’s Moneysmart list of companies you should not deal with:
Companies you should not deal with – Moneysmart.gov.au;
- check the main website (i.e. the homepage) of the purported issuer of the bonds to see if there are any alerts about imposter scams; and
- Call the Australian Bond Exchange for advice.
