What relationships or associations do we have that might influence our advice?

Motley Fool Australia and its associated entities, and their respective directors, associates, connected parties and/or employees may from time to time deal in or otherwise have a financial interest in equities and other financial products referred to in its publications or other general financial advice it provides. Any individual who provides advice on behalf of Motley Fool Australia or contributes articles to our website must disclose if they have a financial interest or position in any share mentioned or discussed. Similarly, it will be disclosed to you if Motley Fool Australia has a beneficial interest or position in any share mentioned or discussed. You should review any disclosures made in particular publications as to interests Motley Fool Australia and its representatives may have in the financial products referred to in the publication.

Our subsidiary and Authorised Representative, LHC, is in the funds management business. LHC may deal in shares that we have recommended or mentioned in our publications (both now or in the future). Motley Fool Australia has no non-public knowledge of LHC’s fund holdings or its planned transactions and therefore, LHC’s fund holdings are not disclosed.

Similarly, our parent company and other affiliates may have positions in the securities mentioned in our publications. Because we have no non-public knowledge of our parent and affiliates’ holdings, such interests are not disclosed.

All employees of Motley Fool Australia including those who prepare research and other advice are subject to a code of conduct and rules for their personal trading activities. Our major trading rules are:

  • Employees cannot trade based on advance knowledge of information that will be published or broadcast by any member of The Motley Fool group;
  • Employees must hold any shares that they own for at least 10 full market days;
  • Employees cannot write about a company in the period of 2 full market business days before to 2 market business days after trading in the company’s shares; and

Freelance contributors must agree to similar disclosure and trading rules.

With respect to its real money portfolio services, Motley Fool Australia will wait at least one full market day after a trade alert has been issued to transact in the security.

Neither Motley Fool Australia, nor any other member of The Motley Fool group, has otherwise any associations or relationships with the issuers of any products that might reasonably be expected to be capable of influencing Motley Fool Australia in the advice it gives.
