Investment portfolio recommendation
1. Based on the CKA and Needs Analysis, general market and economic condition, and any other factors which we consider to be relevant, we may recommend an investment portfolio to you ("Recommended Investment Portfolio"). In creating the Recommended Investment Portfolio and determining if the relevant products in your Investment Portfolio are suitable for you, we may take into consideration the nature of the products, key risks and other features, including the investment tenor, fees and liquidity required.
2. The Recommended Investment Portfolio may include a summary of information gathered pursuant to the CKA/ Needs Analysis in paragraph 4.1 of this Agreement and the basis of the recommendations made to you. If we are unable to identify a Recommended Investment Portfolio based on the information you have provided, we will inform you.
3. You agree that you are not obliged to accept any advice provided by, or recommendation made by us (including any Recommended Investment Portfolio) and you shall be entitled to determine, in your sole discretion, whether to accept, reject or implement an advice, recommendation or opinion (including any Recommended Investment Portfolio) made by us. If you wish to elect not to adopt the Recommended Investment Portfolio, or if at any time you wish to vary the Recommended Investment Portfolio, you may do so by selecting the "Self-Select" button on the Platform to adjust and construct your own proposed investment portfolio ("Self-Select Portfolio"). In such case, however, we may, but shall not be obliged to agree to provide the Services to you.
4. In electing the Self-Select Portfolio, you understand that you are choosing not to accept our recommendation, and that proceeding with the Transaction(s) relating to the Self-Select Portfolio are not recommended by us. Further even if we do agree to proceed with such Transactions, you hereby acknowledge and confirm that you shall be solely responsible for ensuring that your Self-Select Portfolio and Investments entered into are suitable and appropriate for you, taking into account your specific objectives, financial situation, investment experience, knowledge and particular needs.
5. We may recommend changes to the Investment Portfolio agreed between you and us due to changes in your specific objectives, financial situation, investment experience, knowledge and particular needs, general economic or market conditions, or any other factors which we consider to be relevant. For the avoidance of doubt, you agree that in recommending such changes, we are entitled to rely and act on the information you provided to us previously without verifying such information, and without any further inquiry or investigation.
6. Until we provide such recommendation as referred to in paragraph 5.5 above to you, you agree, that we shall be entitled to act on the previously agreed Investment Portfolio.
7. If you refuse to provide such information relating to specific objectives, financial situation, investment experience, knowledge, educational qualifications, work experience and particular needs, general economic or market conditions or any other factors which we consider to be relevant, changes to such information or if any such information is omitted, we may not be able to provide you with suitable recommendations or construct a Recommended Investment Portfolio for you. In such case, you will need to select the Self-Select Portfolio in order to proceed with Transactions and in doing so, you will be taken to have chosen not to receive any recommendations from us. Do note that in such cases, Endowus may elect not to allow you to proceed further.
8. Our Investment Portfolios may include investment products which are considered to be Specified Investment Products that are neither listed for quotation nor quoted on a securities market or futures market under the MAS FAA Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products, as may be amended from time to time ("unlisted SIP"). Where your Investment Portfolio includes an unlisted SIP, we are required to consider whether you have the relevant educational qualifications, investment experience and work experience for such product.
  1. Where we have determined that you do NOT have the relevant knowledge or experience, we will need to ensure the following requirements are met:
    1. If you have been assessed NOT to have the relevant knowledge and experience, you will not be allowed to transact in such unlisted SIPs. If you have not provided any relevant information on your educational qualifications, investment experience and work experience, you will be automatically be deemed NOT to possess the relevant knowledge and experience.
    2. In such case, the Investment Portfolios will not be suitable for you. In such case, Endowus may not accept you as a customer.
    3. However, if you wish for your Investment Portfolio to include unlisted SIPs and wish to proceed in spite of the above, you will need to opt for the Self-Select Portfolio.
    4. Before we allow you to proceed with the Self-Select Portfolio including unlisted SIPs, you will need to provide written confirmation that: (i) you understand that you have been assessed as not possessing the knowledge or experience in the unlisted SIP; (ii) nonetheless, you still intend to proceed despite such assessment; and (iii) you will accept full responsibility to ensure the suitability of the unlisted SIP. In providing such confirmation, you understand that you are proceeding at your own risk.
  2. Where you have been determined to have the relevant knowledge or experience, and Endowus has included unlisted SIPs in your Recommended Investment Portfolio, you hereby confirm and acknowledge that Endowus has advised you on the unlisted SIP. You are advised to take note of the relevant information on the unlisted SIP. However, if you choose to increase your investments in unlisted SIPs or you otherwise choose the Self-Select Portfolio option, you hereby acknowledge and confirm that:
    1. you do not wish to receive any advice concerning the unlisted SIP;
    2. you understand it is your responsibility to ensure suitability of the unlisted SIP provided; and
    3. you understand that in doing so, you will not be able to rely on Section 27 of the FAA to file a civil claim in the event that you allege you suffer a loss. You are still advised to take note of the relevant information on the unlisted SIP.
    4. Endowus refreshes its CKA on a periodic basis. If you fail to provide Endowus with the required information for its CKA refresher on a timely basis, Endowus may need to cease any Transactions in unlisted SIPs in your Investment Portfolio and in such case, you accept full risk and liability for any Losses that may be incurred as a result.
9. When making a recommendation in relation to a collective investment scheme, Endowus may be required to provide you with a copy of the prospectus/profile statement and Product Highlights Sheet (if applicable) in respect of the collective investment scheme and/or any other offer document as may be prescribed by the relevant laws, including any supplementary prospectus/profile statement or replacement prospectus/profile statement in respect of the collective investment scheme. By signing these terms, you hereby agree and consent to Endowus providing you with an abridged version of the document or statement, where applicable.
10. Where you are an Accredited Investor, you agree and acknowledge that this paragraph does not apply to you. Endowus may, but shall not be required to, provide a reasonable basis for its recommendations. You will accept full responsibility for assessing and determining whether any recommendations are suitable and appropriate for you.

2. We may pool together or aggregate Transactions executed on behalf of our other clients with Transactions to be executed on your behalf. Therefore, the precise proportion of your Assets allocated to each type of Investment may vary slightly from any illustration or representations of the Recommended or Self-Select Portfolio, save that under no circumstances, will the proportion of your Assets allocated to each type of Investments deviate by more than 20% of what was represented to you, for more than seven (7) consecutive Business Days.

  1. the Broker and/or Custodian may hold Investments purchased for you in an omnibus account with another Intermediary aggregated with other Investments of other customers; and

7. You also acknowledge and consent to the fact that there is a risk that such Brokers may regard any Investments which we purchase on your behalf, as investments which we purchase for ourselves. This may in some instances result in prejudice to you. For example, there is a risk that your Investments may potentially be used by the Brokers to satisfy our obligations or obligations of our other customers. You accept that this is a necessary risk of dealing in such jurisdictions through us.
8. For the avoidance of doubt, you agree that neither us nor our appointed Broker shall provide any margin facility to you in respect of the Investments.

We use proprietary algorithms in the portfolio building process including but not limited to portfolio optimization, portfolio rebalancing and portfolio return simulations. Many of the algorithms are based on proven academic research based primarily on the Nobel Prize-winning Modern Portfolio Theory. The underlying inputs and assumptions are based on external information. We do not guarantee the accuracy or reliability of such information.

You understand the limitations of advice provided by a digital advisor, including the fact that the recommendation may not take into consideration your financial circumstances, existing investment portfolios or the affordability of the investment. We have the right to override the automated algorithm or temporarily halt the digital advisory service in extreme market conditions.

We also retain the right to make material adjustments to the algorithms in the future as it deems necessary. However, any asset allocation changes to your portfolio will require your prior consent.

FINANCIAL MARKET RISK

Markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of declining prices. The market value of portfolio assets may fluctuate and result in economic gains and/or losses.

The Investments transacted in by Endowus may include those listed and transacted on exchanges at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of such Investments will typically approximate its net asset value, it is possible that there may be periods where the market price may deviate from its net asset value.

NO TAX, LEGAL OR OTHER ADVICE

You expressly acknowledge that you have the appetite to assume all economic consequences and risks of the Investments and to the extent necessary, have consulted your own tax, legal and other advisers.

COUNTERPARTY RISK

You also acknowledge that we may have an interest in the subject of the report or recommendation, and we may be a counterparty to any Investments entered into by you and/or may otherwise benefit from your Investments.

You also acknowledge the losses incurred due to inaccurate or incomplete information of the Investment Product provided by any Affiliates.

COUNTRY RISK

Where the Investments are listed outside Singapore, such Investments are subject to the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction they are listed and you are aware of the risks involved with investing in such products, including but not limited to differences in regulatory regime and investor protection, differences in legal systems, jurisdiction-specific costs (including tax related costs), exposure to foreign counterparty and correspondent broker risks, and exposure to the political, economic and social developments in the applicable jurisdiction. You acknowledge receipt of the Risk Warning Statement on the next page and understand its contents.

Your payments or receipts under a Transaction will be linked to changes in the particular financial market or markets to which the Transaction is linked, and you will be exposed to price, currency exchange, interest rate or other volatility in that market or markets. You may sustain substantial losses on the Investment if the market conditions move against your positions. It is in your interest to fully understand the impact of market movements, in particular the extent of profit/loss you would be exposed to when there is an upward or downward movement in the relevant rates, and the extent of loss if you have to liquidate a position if market conditions move against you. Your position may be liquidated at a loss, and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in your Account with us.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

The Assets in your portfolio with us may be denominated in different currencies and may not necessarily be in Singapore Dollar at all times. Portfolio assets are therefore subject to foreign exchange risk. The fluctuations in foreign currency rates have an impact on the profit/loss and the Investment where your portfolio (or any part thereof) or any Transaction is denominated or settled in a different currency from the currency where you carry on your ordinary business or keep your accounts.

OVERSEAS-LISTED INVESTMENT PRODUCTS

RISK WARNING

An overseas-listed investment product* is subject to the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction it is listed in. Before you trade in an overseas-listed investment product or authorise someone else to trade for you, you should be aware of:

The level of investor protection and safeguards that you are afforded in the relevant foreign jurisdiction as the overseas-listed investment product would operate under a different regulatory regime.

The differences between the legal systems in the foreign jurisdiction and Singapore that may affect your ability to recover your funds.

The tax implications, currency risks, and additional transaction costs that you may have to incur.

The counterparty and correspondent broker risks that you are exposed to.

The political, economic and social developments that influence the overseas markets you are investing in.

These and other risks may affect the value of your investment. You should not invest in the product if you do not understand or are not comfortable with such risks.

*An “overseas-listed investment product” in this statement refers to a capital markets product that is listed for quotation or quoted only on overseas securities exchange(s) or overseas futures exchange(s) (collectively referred to as “overseas exchanges”).

This statement is provided to you in accordance with paragraph 29D of the Notice on the Sale of Investment Products SFA04-N12.
This statement does not disclose all the risks and other significant aspects of trading in an overseas-listed investment product. You should undertake such transactions only if you understand and are comfortable with the extent of your exposure to the risks.
You should carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your experience, objectives, risk appetite, financial resources and other relevant circumstances. In considering whether to trade or to authorise someone else to trade for you, you should be aware of the following:

Differences in Regulatory Regimes

(a) Overseas markets may be subject to different regulations, and may operate differently from approved exchanges in Singapore. For example, there may be different rules providing for the safekeeping of securities and monies held by custodian banks or depositories. This may affect the level of safeguards in place to ensure proper segregation and safekeeping of your investment products or monies held overseas. There is also the risk of your investment products or monies not being protected if the custodian has credit problems or fails. Overseas markets may also have different periods for clearing and settling transactions. These may affect the information available to you regarding transaction prices and the time you have to settle your trade on such overseas markets.

(b) Overseas markets may be subject to rules which may offer different investor protection as compared to Singapore. Before you start to trade, you should be fully aware of the types of redress available to you in Singapore and other relevant jurisdictions, if any.

(c) Overseas-listed investment products may not be subject to the same disclosure standards that apply to investment products listed for quotation or quoted on an approved exchange in Singapore. Where disclosure is made, differences in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards may also affect the quality and comparability of information provided. It may also be more difficult to locate up-to- date information, and the information published may only be available in a foreign language.

Differences in legal systems

(d) In some countries, legal concepts which are practiced in mature legal systems may not be in place or may have yet to be tested in courts. This would make it more difficult to predict with a degree of certainty the outcome of judicial proceedings or even the quantum of damages which may be awarded following a successful claim.

(e) The Monetary Authority of Singapore will be unable to compel the enforcement of the rules of the regulatory authorities or markets in other jurisdictions where your transactions will be effected.

(f) The laws of some jurisdictions may prohibit or restrict the repatriation of funds from such jurisdictions including capital, divestment proceeds, profits, dividends and interest arising from investment in such countries. Therefore, there is no guarantee that the funds you have invested and the funds arising from your investment will be capable of being remitted.

(g) Some jurisdictions may also restrict the amount or type of investment products that foreign investors may trade. This can affect the liquidity and prices of the overseas-listed investment products that you invest in.

Different costs involved

(h) There may be tax implications of investing in an overseas-listed investment product. For example, sale proceeds or the receipt of any dividends and other income may be subject to tax levies, duties or charges in the foreign country, in Singapore, or in both countries.

(i) Your investment return on foreign currency-denominated investment products will be affected by exchange rate fluctuations where there is a need to convert from the currency of denomination of the investment products to another currency, or may be affected by exchange controls.

(j) You may have to pay additional costs such as fees and broker’s commissions for transactions in overseas exchanges. In some jurisdictions, you may also have to pay a premium to trade certain listed investment products. Therefore, before you begin to trade, you should obtain a clear explanation of all commissions, fees and other charges for which you will be liable. These charges will affect your net profit (if any) or increase your loss.

Counterparty and correspondent broker risks

(k) Transactions on overseas exchanges or overseas markets are generally effected by your Singapore broker through the use of foreign brokers who have trading and/or clearing rights on those exchanges. All transactions that are executed upon your instructions with such counterparties and correspondent brokers are dependent on their respective due performance of their obligations. The insolvency or default of such counterparties and correspondent brokers may lead to positions being liquidated or closed out without your consent and/or may result in difficulties in recovering your monies and assets held overseas.

Political, Economic and Social Developments

(l) Overseas markets are influenced by the political, economic and social developments in the foreign jurisdiction, which may be uncertain and may increase the risk of investing in overseas-listed investment products.
