Please note the following in respect of Colchester’s regulatory status in Australia: (i) neither Colchester Global Investors Limited ARBN 153 119 763 nor Colchester Global Investors (Singapore) Pte. Ltd ABN 58 159 947 583 holds an Australian financial services licence for the provision of certain financial services, and both entities are exempt from the requirement to hold an Australian financial services licence under the Corporations Act 2001 in respect of the financial services Colchester provides on the basis that, among other things, it only provides services to “wholesale clients” with the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001; (ii) Colchester Global Investors Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom under UK the laws of England and Wales, which differ from Australian laws; (iii) Colchester Global Investors (Singapore) Pte. Ltd is regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore under Singapore laws, which differ from Australian laws. Therefore, Australian wholesale clients are not necessarily subject to the same types of legal protections or remedies that they would enjoy if Colchester was directly subject to the Corporations Act.
