QIC is a wholesale funds manager and its products and services are not directly available to, and the Information may not be accessed by, retail clients. QIC is a government owned corporation constituted under the Queensland Investment Corporation Act 1991 (Qld). QIC is regulated by State Government legislation pertaining to government owned corporations in addition to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“Corporations Act”).

Application of Corporations Act
QIC is registered under the Corporations Act as a public company limited by shares. As a company government owned corporation not all provisions of the Corporations Act apply to QIC.

Being incorporated under the Corporations Act would ordinarily require a funds manager such as QIC to obtain an Australian financial services (“AFS”) licence. Due to its status as a government owned corporation, QIC is currently not required to formally apply for an AFS licence.

QIC therefore does not hold an AFS licence and the financial product disclosure provisions in the Corporations Act do not apply to QIC. Other wholly owned subsidiaries of QIC do hold AFS licences and are required to comply with relevant provisions of the Corporations Act.

Please note however that QIC Private Capital Pty Ltd (“QPC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of QIC, has been issued with an AFS licence and other wholly owned subsidiaries of QIC are authorised representatives of QPC. QIC’s subsidiaries are required to comply with the Corporations Act.

This website and its Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Queensland, Australia.

No consideration has been given to the impact of any tax and revenue laws on prospective investors. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisers in relation to any such consequences.
