Identification/Know Your Client
1. As you will be aware, governments have enacted legislation designed to prevent the use of the financial system for the purposes of shielding proceeds of crime, including terrorism. Generally, under these anti-money laundering laws and regulations, we are required to identify, verify and record information for individuals and entities prior to the opening of an account. You acknowledge that we are obliged to carry out “Know Your Client” procedures in accordance with our policies and Applicable Laws.
2. Accordingly, before we can open an Account for you, provide you with our Services or enter into any Transaction for your Account, you must submit to us (through our website or such other method as we may notify you) all the documents, evidence, and information as we may require to carry out such “Know Your Client” procedures. You undertake to inform us promptly of any change in the information provided.
3. In addition, you agree to provide any information or documents requested by us in relation to any Account, Transaction and Services, including, where desirable or where required for the purposes of complying with any Applicable Law (including pursuant to any order, direction, or request by any applicable court, government or regulatory authority). We may, from time to time, in our discretion, also ask for additional and up-to-date documentation or information about you, including information as to your source of funds. This includes but is not limited to any applicable anti-money laundering requirements, or any applicable tax disclosure or reporting obligations. If all required documentation or information is not provided, we cannot proceed to open your Account, proceed with any Transaction or establish a relationship with you.
4. Specifically, and without prejudice to the generality of our rights under paragraph 5.3 of these General Terms, we may (where applicable) share the information you provide to us with any Regulatory Body (including without limitation, IRAS) as may be applicable for the purposes of complying with our obligations under applicable tax disclosure or reporting obligations. Without prejudice to any other representation and/or warranty you have provided, you confirm that you have examined the information and documents you have provided to us and such information and documents are true, correct and complete.
Authorization/Power of attorney
1. You authorize us to be your attorney (with full rights of substitution) with full authority to be your true and lawful attorney and to in your name do on your behalf all things you could have done for the purposes of:
  1. carrying out any Transactions for your Account, Services or any of your Instructions;
  2. discharging any of our obligations to you under this Agreement;
  3. doing anything which in our opinion is necessary or desirable to preserve our rights under this Agreement;
  4. in relation to your Investments, complying with any Applicable Laws, as well as to correct any error or omission; and/or
  5. effecting any corporate actions relating to any of your Investments, including but not limited to, attending general or other meetings of shareholders or exercising voting rights attached to the units in the collective investment schemes.
2. You undertake and hereby do ratify and confirm, all that we may do pursuant to this power of attorney.
3. You authorize Endowus to:
  1. recommend Investments to you or otherwise manage your Account and Assets in accordance with the Investment Portfolio and you authorize us to effect the deposit or withdrawal of monies, as your agent and at your sole risk and account, for the Investments;
  2. execute, approve and effect Transactions or other investment trades on your behalf in connection with the Investment Portfolio and to take any other such actions as may be required in order to do so, including closing out and unwinding Transactions, facilitating payments, dealing with your Assets, liquidating the Investment Portfolio (or part thereof) and taking all routine or day-to-day decisions and otherwise act as we may consider appropriate in our discretion; and
  3. determine how Transactions are to be carried out including investment timing and duration, or decide to use or refrain from using measures to hedge against price, currency or interest risks, choose investment instruments which appear appropriate for hedging and use any other measures to optimize returns on existing investments as we may in our absolute discretion deem fit, provided always that the Transactions, arrangements and actions taken on your behalf are within the relevant Investment Portfolio.
4. You agree that Endowus may, at any time, in its sole discretion, debit your Account by any amount or reverse any Transaction made (i) in respect of any wrongful or erroneous credit/transaction; (ii) where Endowus deems it necessary or appropriate to comply with Applicable Laws; or (iii) in any other circumstances which is reasonable for us to do so.
5. We may, but shall be under no obligation to, pool together or aggregate Transactions executed on behalf of our other clients with Transactions to be executed on your behalf. In such an event, allocation of Investments so sold or purchased, as well as the expenses incurred in the Transaction, will be made by us in the manner we consider to be the most equitable and consistent with our obligations to all clients and shall be in accordance with our rights and obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, the precise proportion of your Assets allocated to each type of Investment may vary slightly from any illustration or representations of the Recommended Investment Portfolio or Self-Constructed Portfolio.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any agreement or document concerning your Account with us, we are not obliged to effect any particular Transaction, or to accept any order or act in accordance with any Instructions (including, but not limited to, in respect of fund transfers), nor need we give any reasons for declining to do so. If we decline an order or to process any Transaction or to act in accordance with any of your Instructions, we will not be liable for any Loss incurred by you unless this is as a result of our gross negligence, bad faith, wilful default or fraud.
  6. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, we and our Affiliates are not liable for any Loss incurred by you or any third party, including loss of your data, investment losses or lost profits, arising out of your usage or inability to use our Services and the Platform unless caused by our wilful misconduct.

Endowus will facilitate the withdrawal of your cash balance and/or liquidation of your Assets in the Investment Portfolio, in full or in part, whichever is applicable, as soon as practicable for any withdrawal request made as may be notified to you from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, such withdrawal will be subject to the deduction of any outstanding Fees as described in paragraph 7.3 of these General Terms.
3. Fees, commissions and other charges
  1. The fee payable by you to us for the Services is specified in the Fee Schedule available at www.endowus.com/pricing (“Fees”) as may be amended from time to time or as otherwise informed to you from time to time.

If you must at any time deduct or withhold any Tax on any of the Fees which we are entitled to be paid under this Agreement, you shall pay to us and/or we shall receive and retain a net sum equal to what we would have received and retained as Fees under this Agreement had such Tax not been payable.
  5. You shall be liable for any goods and services tax, value-added tax or any other tax of a similar nature chargeable by law on any payment you are required to make to us.

Introduction or referrals
1. You may have been introduced to us by a third party.

2. If you have been introduced or referred to Endowus by a third party, you accept that:
  1. the third party shall not in any way be regarded as an agent or representative of Endowus and that Endowus accepts you as a client of Endowus only on the basis that Endowus does not accept and will accept no responsibility for any conduct, action, representation or statement of the third party;

1. Accounts
  1. Where you open an Account with us as an individual, your executor or administrator shall be the only person recognised by us in the event of your death. Where you open an Account with us jointly with any other person(s), in the event of your death, the surviving Account holder obtains on the face of it, title to the Account and may give Instructions in respect of the Account; but, if we choose to, we may take such steps we deem appropriate including paying the credit balance in the Account into a court of competent jurisdiction; and the obligations of the surviving Account holder and our rights (including any lien or right of set-off) are not affected. Any payment we make to the surviving Account holder or to a court of competent jurisdiction will discharge our obligations to all the Account holders and their personal representatives and successors. Upon your death, we are entitled to retain any of your Assets held for, and any monies payable to you in respect of your Investment Portfolio as reflected in any Account until such time that a grant of probate or letters of administration are produced by your successor (in the case of an individual Account only). Upon receiving notice of your death, we may also, in our absolute discretion, take such actions as we in good faith consider necessary or desirable to protect your interests, and those of your estate, as the case may be, in the Assets for the Account. In taking such actions we will not be acting as a fiduciary for you or your estate. In addition, we may, if any Account holder dies, suspend or close the Account without notice. You and your estate and/or any joint Account holder agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless from, and pay us promptly on demand, any and all losses, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities whatsoever (including consequential and special damage) arising directly or indirectly in relation to any such actions taken by us in good faith.
  2. Where an Account is held by two or more people jointly, or two or more organisations or business names, this Agreement and all obligations under this Agreement will bind all persons jointly and severally, and all Account holders will be jointly and severally responsible under this Agreement.
  3. Where an Account is held by two or more people jointly, we may appropriate, set-off or debit all or part of the balances in any of your Accounts, to pay and discharge all or part of any liabilities (whether actual or contingent) owed to us by one or more of the joint Account holders, and where required, earmark any amounts credited or expected to be credited into or reflected in your Account(s).
  4. If an Account is in two or more joint names or if any one of you have two or more authorised signatories:
    1. any statement, notice, document or communication sent or made available to any one of you in accordance with this Agreement shall be considered to have been sent to all of you;
    2. we may act on Instructions from any Account holder or authorised signatory without further authorisation or notification to the other Account holder(s) or authorised signatories; without prejudicing or affecting our rights, powers or remedies against any other joint Account holder;
    3. each joint Account holder shall be able to operate the Account independently without obtaining consent from the other Account holder(s) to operate such Account; and
    4. we will have discharged our liability to all joint Account holders if we fulfil our obligations to any one or more of them regardless of any signing mandate.
  5. If you open an Account in your name “in trust” or “as nominee” or in some other similar role or designation, we will not recognise any person (other than you as the Account holder) as having any interest in your Account. You undertake to operate such Account(s) solely for the benefit of such beneficiary(ies). We will accept instructions relating to your Account from you or your authorised signatories only. You shall indemnify us against any Loss in respect of the operation of the Account(s).
  6. In the event that you have not accessed your Account through the Platform and there has been no activity in your Account (such as a transfer of funds) for a period of 2 years, the Account will be deemed dormant. For the avoidance of doubt, during such period, we will continue to apply and set off any applicable administrative costs, Fees and/or Taxes payable by you against the dormant Account. If we determine in good faith that we are still unable to trace you thereafter, you agree that the Account will be terminated. We may therefore facilitate the utilization or transfer of all Assets then standing to the credit of any Account or otherwise held by us or our Affiliate (as the case may be) together with any property as may from time to time continue to accrue to those monies and property (whether by way of dividends, interest or otherwise) in any manner we so wish. Thereafter you shall have no right whatsoever to claim such monies and property (or any other property as may accrue to it) and you are deemed to have waived and abandoned all your rights to such Assets (and any other property as may accrue to it) in our/the Custodian’s favour.
  7. From time to time, we may receive fund/trailer fee rebates, retrocession fees and/or cash dividends from the relevant fund managers. Where you have invested your CPF or Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) savings and unless otherwise stated, we will attempt to credit such rebates/fees/dividends to your CPF Investment Account or SRS account which is linked to your Endowus Account. Where we are unable to do so because the details of your linked CPF Investment Account or SRS account are incorrect or the account has been closed, we will make reasonable efforts to contact you for updated account details. If, despite our reasonable efforts to contact you, you fail to provide us with valid account details for the rebates/fees/dividends to be transferred to you within six (6) months from our first communication to you on the rebates/fees/dividends, such rebate/fees/dividends may forthwith be appropriated by us to ourselves to utilise in any manner we so wish for our own benefit. You thereafter shall have no right whatsoever to claim such monies, you being deemed to have waived and abandoned all your rights to such monies (and any other property as may accrue to it) in our favour, and we may, at our discretion, after setting off any applicable administrative costs, use such rebates/fees/dividends, including donating them to a charity of our choice.

1. Statement and documents
  1. Any statements and any other documents relating to your Account with us will be sent to you through a URL link to the Platform (or such other method we may designate in writing) which will be provided to you monthly via any method that we may designate or via electronic means to the electronic mail address indicated by you at account opening or edited subsequently through the “Change of Email procedure” available on the Platform. You agree and acknowledge that such documents will be made available for viewing on the Platform, and therefore, you may download, save or print the documents for your subsequent reference. Such communications will be considered to be sent and received by you on the day following such mailing or on the day when it was so left even if the same is returned undelivered. You are considered to have notice on the date of delivery, publication, broadcast or communication. If any communication is returned undelivered, we will not send you any further communication until you update your electronic mail address. We do not guarantee the delivery or timeliness of such communication (electronic or otherwise) which may be subject to certain time lags and/or delays. You acknowledge that we shall not be liable to you or anyone else for losses, damages or expenses arising from any non-delivery, delayed delivery or wrong delivery of a communication (electronic or otherwise). You shall bear all risks of communications made by you to Endowus and by Endowus to you. You shall not hold us liable in the event that any communication is delayed, intercepted, lost and/or failed to reach you during delivery, transmission or dispatch or if the content of such communication is disclosed to any third party during transit except where such delay, interception, loss and/or failure to reach you or disclosure to any third party was due solely to our gross negligence or wilful default.
  2. You agree to verify the correctness of all details contained in each Account statement, or any statement or document sent to you and inform us by email to support@endowus.com within 14 days from the date of such document of any discrepancies, omissions, or errors. We will attempt to resolve such discrepancies in a timely manner for so long as such discrepancies remain outstanding, using, without limitation, any updated data produced during the period in which such discrepancy remains outstanding. Upon the expiry of this period, the details in such documents shall be conclusive evidence against you (save for manifest or clerical error) without further proof, except as to any alleged errors so notified, that such details are correct, but subject always to our right to amend or delete from time to time, any details wrongly inserted by us as set out in paragraph 7.6.3 of these General Terms below. Except as provided in this paragraph, and provided that we are not fraudulent or in wilful default, we shall be free from all claims in respect of any Account or the details of the Transactions or Services contained in such documents.
  3. We have the right, upon giving reasonable notice to you, to reverse any entry, demand refund, and/or debit the Account in respect of any overpayment or wrongful credit reflected in the Account.
  4. Without prejudice to any of the foregoing we may at any time without prior notice to you rectify any clerical errors that may have been made.
  5. For the avoidance of doubt, any document, advice, statement of account, contract note confirmation or other notification relating to a specific Transaction through any Broker or your Assets held with any Custodian shall be sent to you directly by the Intermediary. Any discrepancies relating to such documents should be notified to the relevant Intermediary directly.
2. Electronic records
  1. Our records (including computer and microfilm stored records or any other electronic records stored by us) of all matters relating to you, any Transactions on your Accounts, the Accounts and/or any Services provided to you is conclusive evidence of such matters and is binding against you for all purposes, save for manifest or clerical error, subject to our right to rectify any error or omission therein and our right to adduce other evidence. You hereby agree not to at any time dispute the authenticity or accuracy of any computer output relied upon by us for any purpose whatsoever.
  2. You accept that the electronic records can be used as evidence in any court or legal proceedings or any investigation or enquiry as proof of their contents and you shall not dispute the validity, admissibility, accuracy or authenticity of the contents of any electronic record or information in the form of activity or transaction logs, computer or electronic records, magnetic tapes, cartridges, computer printouts, copies, or any other form of computer or electronic data produced by or obtained in connection with any Transactions on your Accounts, the Accounts and/or any Services provided to you.
  3. You acknowledge and agree that we shall be entitled to destroy or dispose of all registers, statements and other records and documents relating to the Account, Services or Transactions at any time after the expiration of any period of retention required by Applicable Law. We shall not be liable in any way for such destruction or disposal. Any records we stored of you, Transactions on your Accounts and/or Services provided to you are conclusive and cannot be challenged by you.

1. Instructions
  1. Where signing authorisations have been made and submitted to us, Instructions must be given in accordance with such signing authorisations (which shall remain valid until we receive your written revocation in such form as we may determine in our absolute discretion).
  2. You acknowledge that you are aware of and have considered fully the risks inherent in the giving of Instructions via the Platform, email or by any other means (as the case may be) and are prepared to accept all risks associated with their use.
  3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any agreement or document concerning your Account with us, any Instructions and/or amendments in connection with any signing authorisations from you to us shall only be effective from the date on which our internal procedures and processes for updating such signing authorisations have completed [or as notified to you], even if you have submitted and we have received such Instructions and/or amendments.
  4. Notwithstanding any term to the contrary whether under these General Terms or otherwise, we may but shall not be obliged to act on any Instruction that is given or purportedly given by you, or given or purportedly given by your authorised signatories, whether given via the Platform, email or by any other means. We shall not be obliged to give any notice and/or reason for not acting on any Instruction.
  5. We have no obligation to verify the authenticity and validity of any Instructions whether given via the Platform, email or by any other means. We are authorised to treat as effective and binding and to effect any Instructions (however given) regardless of the circumstances prevailing at the time of the Instructions.
  6. We may, but are not obliged to, require that any Instructions be confirmed by you in a manner of our choosing and may refuse to act on any such Instructions until we receive such confirmation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may act upon any Instructions before receipt of any confirmation and no discrepancy between an executed transaction and the confirmation may be held against us.
  7. We may rely on any document (without enquiring) which appears to us to be in order. We are not responsible for the genuineness, validity, effectiveness, condition, or otherwise of such document.
  8. Where we act on your Instructions, we act on a reasonable effort basis and in accordance with and subject to Applicable Laws. To the extent permissible by Applicable Laws, you agree that we will not be liable to you for any Loss(es) arising out of or in connection with our acts of omission or commission while acting in a reasonable manner in executing your Instructions, any delay in executing Instructions, or any failure, refusal, or inability to act on or complete the execution of any Instructions for whatever reason (including any failure or error of any computer or electronic system or equipment).
  9. View-Only Access. In respect of access to your Account for view-only purposes via additional or secondary log-in details authorised by you where such option has been made available (“Secondary Log-In Details”), you agree:
    1. that information pertaining to and accessible through your Account may be disclosed to such party(ies) authorised to access the Account via the Secondary Log-In Details (“Access Party”);
    2. to indemnify and hold harmless Endowus on demand against and in respect of any or all expenses, costs (including legal costs), losses and/or damages which Endowus may incur in connection with (a) its accepting or giving effect to any Instructions or other communication received by it from an Access Party, through the platform with the Secondary Log-In Details; and/or (b) an Access Party’s access to the Account via the Secondary Log-In Details; and
    3. that Endowus shall not have any liability to you in respect of an Access Party’s access to the Account via the Secondary Log-In Details.
2. Email Instructions
  1. Any email which seems to us to be sent by you or your authorised representative(s) shall be conclusively presumed for our benefit to be from you or your authorised representative(s) and you or your authorised representative(s) shall be fully responsible for the same. Our determination of whether an email appears to be sent by you or your authorised representative(s), whether and/or when an email was received by us shall be conclusive and binding on you. You agree and acknowledge that no email sent by you or your representative(s) shall be deemed to be received by us unless confirmed or acknowledged by us.
  2. If we receive an email which seems to us to be sent by you or your authorised representative(s), we may respond to you by sending our written replies directly to the email address from which we received that email.
  3. Where you or your authorised representative(s) send us email Instructions in relation to your Account and/or your Investments, you authorise us to execute and/or rely on such email Instructions notwithstanding that the source of the email Instructions, the attachment(s) and/or the signatures appearing in such attachments cannot be authenticated or checked by us. You acknowledge that you are aware of the risks inherent in the giving of email Instructions and have fully considered such risks. In particular, electronic signatures in attachments sent in email Instructions and/or email Instructions without attachment setting out your Instructions and bearing your signature may be forged.
  4. As email is not always reliable and secure, you acknowledge and are aware that email Instructions may be transmitted to the wrong email address, may never reach us and may thereby become known to third parties, thereby losing their confidential nature. For example, although at your end, you may have sent an Instruction via email, nonetheless, due to a fault in the system, we may not be able to receive the Instruction or the Instruction may reach us much later. It is also possible that a third party may impersonate you or your authorised representative(s) in transmitting the email Instruction to us. In consideration of our agreeing to accept and act on your email Instructions, you agree and confirm that you shall indemnify and hold us harmless so that we shall not be liable in any way whatsoever if we fail to act upon your email Instruction, fail to act in a timely manner or rely on and act on any email Instruction which turns out to be unauthorised or improper (but which we believe in good faith to have been authorised by you or to be proper), or which may arise from errors in transmission or errors by us regarding your identity, the identity of your authorised representative(s) or the nature or amount of the relevant transaction, or email Instruction which is not understandable, misrouted, delayed, lost, hacked or not received in full.
  5. In consideration of our agreeing to accept and act on your email Instructions, you further agree and confirm that you shall indemnify us and hold us harmless so that we shall not be liable to you or any third party for Loss(es), liability or damage, whether arising in contract or tort or otherwise howsoever arising out of or in connection with any such email Instructions.
  6. Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph 7.8.8 above, we may at our sole and absolute discretion, refuse to act on any transaction orders, revocation of orders, fund transfer Instructions and/or any time-sensitive, action-oriented messages sent via email without any liability to you.

1. Recurring investments
  1. You may make recurring investments of a specified lump sum amount of funds (“Recurring Investment Amount”) on a periodic basis as elected by you in respect of an Investment Portfolio via the Platform (each such transaction, a “Recurring Investment Transaction”), in accordance with such instructions as may be prescribed by us from time to time on the Platform.
  2. The Recurring Investment Amount is subject to such minimum or maximum amount as may be prescribed by us from time to time and may differ across different Investment Portfolios.
  3. You agree and acknowledge that by making a Recurring Investment Transaction, you are instructing and authorising us to debit the relevant Recurring Investment Amount from your Account for the purposes of such Recurring Investment Transaction on a periodic basis (on such day as you have chosen) and transfer or procure the transfer of the Recurring Investment Amount into the relevant Investment Portfolio.
  4. For the avoidance of doubt, you acknowledge and agree that the representations and warranties under Clauses 3 and 7 shall be repeated at the time of each Recurring Investment Transaction. Where you enter into recurring investments, you should be aware that you will be exposed to additional risk as your Investment Portfolios may be more concentrated over time. You acknowledge and understand the risks of this investment strategy.
  5. You acknowledge and agree that we shall be entitled, at our sole and absolute discretion, to reject or refuse to accept or process or to cancel any Recurring Investment Transaction, including if there is an insufficient cash balance or funds in your Account, and shall not be required to give any reason for the same.
2. Trust Accounts
  1. The following provisions apply where you are acting in the capacity of a trustee of a trust (“Trust”).
  2. We are entitled to deal with you as if there were no Trust constituted or subsisting. Notwithstanding this, you agree that we may treat you as trustee of a Trust and to treat the Account as a Trust Account to be governed by this Agreement even if you have not opened the Account on that basis (the “Trust Account”).
  3. You are required to provide us with such information and documents on the Trust or beneficiaries of the Trust as may be required by us or under Applicable Laws. If you cannot disclose such information due to its confidential nature, you must provide us with undertakings in form and substance satisfactory to us and in relation to such matters as we may require from time to time.
  4. We have no obligation to review the trust deed or other document constituting or evidencing the Trust (“the Trust Documents”) and we shall be deemed not to have knowledge, whether actual or constructive or otherwise, of the provisions of the Trust Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall give us written notice of all changes to the Trust Documents, and upon our request, promptly provide us with a certified copy of the most updated Trust Documents.
  5. You represent and warrant to us (with such representations and warranties being deemed repeated on a continuous basis for so long as you have an Account with us) that:
    1. the Trust is validly constituted in accordance with all Applicable Laws; and
    2. you are the sole trustee(s) of the Trust and no new trustee(s) have been appointed, and no steps have been taken for you to resign or be replaced as the trustee;
    3. you have the requisite power and authority to give Instructions in relation to the operation of the Account and to deal with the assets in the Account, and such power and authority is unconditional and has not been revoked;
    4. there are no restrictions on your right to be indemnified from the assets of the Trust, other than in the express written terms of the Trust Documents or at law. Nothing has occurred to affect that right or our right to be subrogated to that right of indemnity and you are not in default of any provision of the Trust Documents or any duties to the Trust or its beneficiaries; and
    5. no steps or proceedings have been taken for the winding up or termination of the Trust.
  6. You shall give us written notice if any of the representations given in this paragraph 7.11 is or becomes untrue due to change of circumstances or otherwise. If required by us, you will provide us with a legal opinion (in form and substance acceptable to us) to confirm the representations and any other issues or points on which we require confirmation.
  7. Any indemnity given by you or any of your liabilities or other obligations under this Agreement shall be on the basis that we have full recourse to all the assets of the Trust as well as any and all amounts standing to the credit of the Trust Account(s).
  8. You will be personally liable in respect of any liabilities for which you have no right to be indemnified from the assets of the Trust or where we have no right to be subrogated to such right of indemnity, or in respect of any breach by you of any of the terms of this Agreement or any other contract between us.

Brokerage and custody arrangement
1. You agree that Transactions to be executed and/or Investments to be purchased or sold in relation to the Investment Portfolio shall be done through or by any of our nominee, agent or broker as may be appointed from time to time (the "Broker").
2. Pursuant to Applicable Laws, custody of the Investments or Assets (including monies) will be carried out through an appropriately licensed custodian regulated to deal in capital markets products and provide custodial services (which may include Endowus) and where the Investments or Assets are denominated in a foreign currency, the Investments may be held with an entity which is licensed, registered or authorised to act as a custodian in the country or territory where the Assets are held (the “Custodian”). Where your Assets are deposited with a Custodian outside your home jurisdiction, you should be aware that you may be exposed to additional risk as the Applicable Laws of the foreign jurisdictions may be very different from that of your home jurisdiction. This means that your Assets do not enjoy the same protection as those held in custody accounts in your home jurisdiction. A possible consequence of this is that in the event of a legal dispute in that market, the courts in that market may not recognise your Assets as belonging to you and you may not be able to recover them.
3. You agree that we may appoint the same entity to be both Broker and Custodian, but may not necessarily do so. While we may assist you with appointing, opening accounts with the Broker and/or Custodian and providing instructions on your behalf, you will have a direct relationship with each Broker and/or Custodian. Therefore, unless Endowus acts as Custodian, Endowus shall not be liable for any Losses arising out of or in connection with the custody of your Assets or execution of Transactions by or through the Broker and/or Custodian.
4. You agree that:
  1. you will create and maintain a separate account in the same name with the Custodian. You hereby appoint and instruct the Custodian to hold Investments or Assets for and on your behalf. Without prejudice to the generality of any other provisions, you authorise us to provide instructions to the Custodian in relation to the handling of your Investments or Assets, including in relation to redemption, disposing and/or selling such Investments or Assets and you agree to execute any documents as may be required in order to facilitate any such actions in relation to your interest in the Investments or Assets;
  2. for Investments or Assets that you transfer to the Custodian for custody, you represent and warrant that they belong to you; are authentic, valid and correct in every respect. You agree to fully indemnify us against any Losses that we may suffer due to or arising out of the foregoing representations and warranties being untrue or incorrect in any respect. The Custodian may, in its absolute discretion, refuse to accept any Investments or Assets for custody; and
  3. we are under no obligation to:
    1. supervise or monitor any of your Investments or Transactions involving your Assets;
    2. advise or recommend for any Transaction in relation to the sale, purchase or disposal of your Investments or Assets unless we agree to;
    3. assist you in claiming any tax benefit(s) or claims for a reduced withholding rate to which you may be entitled to in connection to your Asset (whether under a tax treaty or any other Applicable Laws); or
    4. assist you to seek reimbursement from any third parties of any amounts due to any withholding that had been applied at higher rate than that which you are entitled to or which you view to be the applicable rate.
5. In order for the Custodian to provide you with custody services, you authorize us, where possible or applicable, to:
  1. provide instructions to the Custodian in relation to the handling of your Investments or Assets, including in relation to redemption, disposing and/or selling such Investments or Assets and you agree to execute any documents as may be required in order to facilitate any such actions in relation to your interest in the Investments or Assets;
  2. execute the relevant application/subscription form(s) or other documents as may be required, on your behalf;
  3. instruct the Custodian to purchase, hold, dispose of or otherwise deal with your Investments or Assets in accordance with these General Terms;
  4. instruct the Custodian to withdraw and transfer Investments or Assets (or entitlements to them) to securities depositaries, clearing or settlement systems, account controllers or other participants in the relevant systems as selected by us for any purposes;
  5. instruct the Custodian to register your Investments or Assets and keep such Investments or Assets in locations as we shall think fit;
  6. request payment of, collect and receive interest, dividends, payments or other entitlements in respect of any Investments or Assets;
  7. instruct the Custodian to convert any monies payable in respect of your Investments or Assets at the prevailing exchange rate if they are made in a currency different from your Account;
  8. instruct the Custodian to choose to receive a distribution in cash or in kind, unless you have instructed us in writing of your preferred distribution type;
  9. debit/credit your Account with the amount of the total amount payable with respect to any Transaction, proceeds resulting from such Transaction, and such applicable fees, charges, or costs;
  10. where applicable, instruct the Custodian to exchange any Investment or Asset in a temporary form or other Investment or Asset in definitive form and deliver physical scrip form of such Investment or Asset to any depository set up for the purpose of and/or operating scripless trading and to complete and deliver any required document;
  11. surrender your Investments or Assets against receipt of monies payable at maturity or upon redemption at your request to us in writing;
  12. execute any necessary forms, declaration or certificate of ownership under any Applicable Laws; and
  13. take any other action we think appropriate.

1. In relation to custody services provided by the Custodian:
  1. we will keep records to ensure that your Investments or Assets are held on your behalf and do not belong to us. We will furnish you with periodic statements in respect of your Investments or Assets and notify you of any transaction involving your Investments or Assets as soon as practicable after each transaction; and
  2. we will not be liable for any Losses arising from any failure to forward a notice or communication correctly or promptly to you, unless there was gross negligence, fraud or wilful default on our part.
2. In addition to the Broker and Custodian, we may rely on other third party intermediaries, such as agents, nominees, independent investment research houses, exchanges, sub-custodians, depositaries, clearing houses or other services providers (“Intermediaries”) in connection with our provision of the Services to you. Notwithstanding any other provision to this Agreement, you hereby acknowledge and agree that provided that we have selected or engaged such Intermediar(ies) in good faith, we shall not be liable to you for any and all Losses suffered or incurred by you as a result of any act, omission, default, insolvency, error or negligence of such Intermediar(ies). In the event a nominee is being used, you are deemed to have contracted as principal with such nominee. You acknowledge that where your Investments are held with different Intermediaries and/or appointees of our Intermediaries, the manner in which your Investments may be held in different entities may be different.
3. You shall, on demand, pay to or reimburse Endowus for all expenses (including without limitation, management or supervisory fees, agents’ and other advisers’ fees, disbursements and operating expenses) incurred by Endowus or its Intermediaries in connection with the performance by Endowus of its obligations hereunder; and the enforcement or preservation by Endowus of its rights hereunder, together with any applicable goods and services tax or other relevant tax.
4. You acknowledge that the Investment Portfolio Assets and any cash balance may be held in SGD and/or USD terms (or such other currencies as Endowus may deem appropriate) for cost efficacy.
5. Without prejudice to any other provision in this Agreement, you agree that the Broker and/or Custodian may hold Investments purchased for you in an omnibus account aggregated with other Investments of other customers, and such Investments may not be held in your name. This is known as co-mingling. Co-mingling comes with certain risks which include the following:
  1. your Investments may be treated as fungible with other Investments in the omnibus account and therefore, we are not obliged to deliver any specific Investments to you and may instead return Investments that are of the same class, denomination quantity and nominal amount (and rank equally) with those originally deposited with or transferred to us;
  2. while we maintain records of your interests in the pooled assets, your right to such assets may not be easily identified from documentation such as separate certificates, other documents of ownership or equivalent electronic records;
  3. if there are any dividends, interests, rights, benefits or other proceeds in relation to your Investments resulting from such commingling, we shall have full discretion as to the allotment of such dividends, interests, rights, benefits or other proceeds; and
  4. if the Custodian defaults or becomes insolvent, you may not receive your full entitlement. Any shortfall in relation to the value of pooled assets may be apportioned to you and other customers. As your Investments may be commingled with those of other customers in the same custody account, you may potentially be exposed to the losses of other customers. Delays in identifying individual investments in such situations may result in an increased risk of loss.
6. 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.
7. 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.

Risk acknowledgement
1. You acknowledge and accept the risks set out in the Risk Disclosure Statement as applicable to you, dependent on the location in which you are located as set out in the relevant Schedule which forms part of this Agreement. In accepting the Services provided under this Agreement, you acknowledge and confirm that you have received a copy of the Risk Disclosure Statement set out in Schedule 1 and understand its contents.
2. Endowus may notify you in writing of any changes to the risks set out in the Risk Disclosure Statement. Unless you object to such changes and terminate your Account and/or this Agreement within thirty (30) calendar days, you will be deemed to have expressly agreed and accepted such changes and the new Risk Disclosure Statement shall supersede the previous Risk Disclosure Statement to form part of the Agreement.
Currency conversion/FX spot transactions
1. We are entitled to in our sole and absolute discretion, or if we agree, you may elect by giving notice to us to, convert any sum received by us (whether for credit into your Account or in payment of any sum due to us) to a currency supported within the Account or the currency in which payment is to be made, as the case may be, at a rate of exchange determined by us at the relevant time.
2. We may, whether at our discretion or on your instructions, at any time at a rate determined by us in our sole and absolute discretion, convert any amount in any Account or standing to your credit to any other currency for holding in the Account or for the purposes of carrying out your Instructions or exercising our rights under this Agreement.
3. There may be a gain or loss during the conversion of currency and you accept that you are subject to exchange rate risks. Exchange rate losses, negative interest and the costs of conversion (where applicable) shall be borne by you. We will have no responsibility or liability for any diminution in the value of funds due to exchange rate fluctuations, foreign exchange controls, restrictions on convertibility, requisitions, involuntary transfers, distraints of any character, exercise of governmental or military powers, war, strikes, or other causes beyond our reasonable control.
Set-off and lien
1. For so long as you owe monies or obligations (of any nature and however arising) to us, you may not withdraw your Assets from your Account or custody account without our consent. We may at any time withhold any Assets pending full settlement of all such monies or obligations owed by you.
2. All your Assets in your custody account as reflected in your Account shall be subject to a continuing first fixed charge and general lien for the discharge of all obligations due from you to us. We have the power to sell any Assets, close out any positions or liquidate the Investment Portfolio in or towards settlement of your obligations to us.
3. All documents of title and other documents relating to the Assets shall be deposited or transferred by you to us or otherwise placed at our order or at our disposal or under our control.
4. You warrant and undertake that none of the Assets held in your custody account as reflected in your Account are or shall be subject to any lien or charge in favour of any other person.
5. Without prejudice to any right of set-off or general lien or other rights to which we may be entitled, we may set-off from any Assets held in your custody account as reflected in your Account (including any of your monies held in a trust account) against and in whole or partial payment of any sum or liability owed by you to us.
6. You authorise us to do anything in your name which is necessary for us to be able to do any of the foregoing.
7. Our rights under this Agreement are in addition to any other rights we have at law or under any other agreement, and shall not prejudice any other rights or security that we may have.
Material interests
1. Endowus and/or our related, associated or affiliated corporations provide diversified financial services to a broad range of customers and counterparties, and circumstances may arise in which Endowus, its related, associated or affiliated corporations or a person connected with Endowus (Connected Person) may have a material interest in a transaction with or for you or where a conflict of interest may arise between your interests and those of other customers or counterparties of Endowus. However, if Endowus acts in circumstances where it has a material interest or conflict of interests, Endowus will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are treated fairly. Endowus, in its discretion, may also decline to act in such circumstances.
2. Such material interests and conflicts of interest may include Endowus effecting or arranging a transaction with you or on your behalf or for your Account in connection with which Endowus and/or its Connected Persons may have other direct or indirect material interests.

Confidential information
1. Our duty. Save as permitted under this Agreement or any other agreement with you, we shall treat all information relating to you and your Accounts as confidential.
2. Non-confidential information. You acknowledge that the following information will not be regarded as confidential information and we do not owe you or any other person any duty to keep such information confidential:
  1. information that as at the date of its disclosure is in the public domain (other than through a breach of this Agreement) or which subsequently enters the public domain;
  2. information that was already in our possession before you provided the information to us;
  3. information which we received from a third party who has lawfully acquired such information and is under no confidentiality obligation regarding its disclosure to us; and
  4. any information which is anonymised or encrypted in such a manner where the identities of any person cannot be readily inferred, or which cannot be referable to any particular person.
3. Exceptions from duty of confidence. You give us permission to disclose information relating to you and your Account as follows:
  1. any of our directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents or delegates;
  2. any of our Affiliates, shareholders or related corporations and any of their successors, assigns or sub-contractors, and their directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents or delegates;
  3. our professional advisers, consultants and auditors;
  4. anyone who takes over or may take over all or part of our rights or obligations under this Agreement or anyone this Agreement (or any part of it) is transferred to or may be transferred to;
  5. any person who we believe in good faith to be your legal advisers or other professionals;
  6. any Regulatory Body in any jurisdiction, in so far as we need to do so to keep to Applicable Laws, or which we in good faith believe that we should keep to;
  7. pursuant to a request by any Regulatory Body (regardless of the reason for such request and whether such request is exercised under a court order or otherwise); and
  8. to such other persons or under such other circumstances as you agree. Under any of the circumstances in 12.3.1 to 12.3.3, we shall, where reasonably possible, procure that the recipient be subject to the same duty of confidence.
4. Survival. The permission you give by agreeing to paragraph 12 of these General Terms will apply even after this Agreement ends or your Account is terminated.
5. Your duties. Any data, information or message transmitted to you through our System, the Platform or otherwise is confidential and intended for the sole use of the intended recipient. If you are not the intended recipient, you should immediately notify us and delete or destroy such data, information or message, including all copies thereof.
6. Confidentiality of Other Information. You must keep confidential, all information about the Platform, our System and any information, data, materials or documents provided to you.
Recording
1.

Further, we may also elect not to provide or continue to provide you with our Advisory Services.
  Notwithstanding the above, you agree that we may at any time confirm with you that there are no material changes to the information provided to us for purposes of determining your investment knowledge and experience or Needs Analysis.

Investment Portfolio Recommendations
1. Based on the general financial objectives and risk tolerance as notified to us, 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. You acknowledge and agree that the Recommended Investment Portfolio does not take into account your specific objectives, financial situation, investment experience, knowledge and particular needs.
2. You agree that you are solely responsible for making your own independent investigation and appraisal of all Investments and your own independent verification of any advice, recommendations, view, opinion or information provided by us. You shall fully understand and familiarise yourself with all the terms and conditions of each Investment and the risks involved, and you agree that you will only accept our Recommended Investment Portfolio on the basis of your own independent review and determination that the Recommended Investment Portfolio is suitable and appropriate for you.
3. The Recommended Investment Portfolio may include a summary of information gathered on your financial objectives and risk tolerance and the basis of the recommendations made to you.
4. You may also select the relevant feature on our Platform to construct your own portfolio (“Self-Constructed Portfolio”) and, based on the information available to us, we will advise you at various stages of the process with regard to the suitability of the portfolio you have created against the Needs Analysis we have conducted on you (if any). We may provide recommendations to review your choices or to invest in a Recommended Investment Portfolio instead.
5. 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.
6. You may also construct and invest in a Self-Constructed Portfolio to construct and/or adjust your goals (and plans therein) within your investment portfolio. In such case, however, we may, but shall not be obliged to agree to provide the Services to you.
7. When constructing a Self-Constructed Portfolio, we will provide you with advice if the portfolio you have created does not align with the Needs Analysis we have conducted on you (if any) and we will provide recommendations to review your choices or to invest in a Recommended Investment Portfolio instead. You may elect to proceed with your choices and you understand that you are choosing not to accept our recommendation or advice, and that proceeding with all current and future Transaction(s) relating to the Self-Constructed Portfolio, and the investment goals and plans therein, 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-Constructed 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.
8. 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.
9. Until we provide such recommendation as referred to in paragraph 3.8 of these Special Terms above to you, you agree that we shall be entitled to act on the previously agreed Investment Portfolio.
10. 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, construct a Recommended Investment Portfolio for you or provide you with advice on the construction of your Self-Constructed Portfolio(s). In such case, should you proceed to invest in a Self-Constructed Portfolio, 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.
11. 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.
12. Disclosures
  1. Our portfolios are built on collective investment scheme products managed by a number of fund managers. Summarised details of the funds currently included in our recommended portfolios may be found in the Endowus Investment Funds list section of our website. Links to the fund prospectuses and key investor information documents are provided on our platform.
  2. Unit investments in collective investment scheme products are typically held in an account with a Custodian in your name.

B. Dealing and Execution

Execution only
1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we may buy, sell, exchange, deal with or otherwise dispose of your Investments and execute orders in relation to Investments on your behalf but, in each case, only upon your specific authorisation and not in the exercise of our discretion. Each such transaction will be “execution only” in nature (“Execution Services”). An “execution only” transaction is a transaction in an Investment that we have not recommended to you or solicited you to enter into, and no financial advice has been, or will be provided to you.
2. Execution Services differ from the Advisory Services. Specifically, you make all the investment decisions relating to your Account and we shall effect execution only transactions on a transaction by transaction basis. Accordingly:
  1. we will not apply standard portfolio models in making recommendations to you;
  2. we will not generally construct a portfolio of assets for you nor recommend a strategic asset allocation to you; and
  3. we have no legal obligation to monitor the composition of the Investments you purchased or to make any recommendation to you once you have purchased them.
3. You acknowledge that if you do not wish to be responsible for the overall portfolio composition and monitoring of those Investments as set out in paragraph 4 of these Special Terms, you should choose our Advisory Services..
4. All Investments offered by us may not have been approved for offer, sale or purchase by any authority outside the jurisdiction in which it is offered. If you choose to make any transaction on markets in other jurisdictions particularly on a self-directed basis, you should be aware that by choosing to undertake any transactions you should ensure that the requirements of your home jurisdictions, which may be significantly different or more stringent than requirements of the jurisdiction of offer, are met.
5. You acknowledge and agree that we may require that you complete a relevant application form and other further documentation in respect of any Investment that you wish to direct us to execute on your behalf, and that a failure to execute any such documents may result in our inability to execute any Investment for you and that you may not be able to proceed with any purchase, sale, exchange or disposal of your Investments.
6. You agree and authorise us to instruct a third party broker to act as execution broker to purchase, hold, dispose of and sell any Investments and take any such other action as may be necessary or appropriate in respect of the Execution Services provided to you under these Special Terms.
7. Your written Instructions for us to provide Execution Services (including by submitting an application form (where applicable)) in respect of any Investment will constitute a valid and binding commitment by you to subscribe for and purchase the relevant Investments as indicated in the instructions. You therefore agree to be bound by such action as we may take on your behalf to execute your instructions. Notwithstanding this, you confirm that you are aware that there is no guarantee or assurance with respect to the amount of Investments you may be ultimately allotted/placed with, and if none is allotted/placed, the contract between us for the subscription will immediately be terminated and all obligations and liabilities arising therefrom shall cease.
Authority and limitations
1. Where relevant, any dealings conducted on your behalf in respect of the Execution Services will be subject to the following:
  1. we shall handle your and our other clients’ orders fairly and in the order in which they are received by us, and where applicable, in accordance with any execution policies we may publish from time to time. We may aggregate your orders with those of other clients provided that we reasonably conclude at the outset that it is unlikely that such aggregation will generally operate to your disadvantage (although, in some cases, aggregation may operate to your disadvantage and in other cases aggregation will operate to your advantage) and that we shall give priority to satisfying your orders and those for other clients in any allocation if all orders cannot be filled;
  2. when market conditions do not reasonably permit an Investment order to be executed at one time or in a single transaction, we may execute it over such period as we deem appropriate and we may report to you an average price for a series of transactions so executed instead of the actual price of each transaction;
  3. while we will try to execute your instructions in a timely manner, we may not always be able to execute your instruction at any specific time or on the same Business Day. This may be due to various constraints including, but not limited to any requirement under Applicable Laws; and
  4. for the avoidance of doubt, your Investments will not be confirmed until you are informed by us as to the amount allotted/placed/purchased on your behalf and until such time, you agree you do not have any interests in the Investments.
2. We may, from time to time, send you or make available to you online research materials or recommendations of a general nature that we or third parties have prepared. Such research or recommendations are not personal recommendations tailored for your individual circumstances and do not constitute advice to you on the merits of any particular transaction for you or on the merits of any particular investment for you. We will be under no obligation to take into account any such research material or recommendations when we carry out Execution Services for you.

Instructions
1. You hereby authorise us to act on your Instructions (written, oral or otherwise) to effect the Investments, hold, handle, dispose of or sell Investments, exclusively for your account(s) and at your risk and peril and authorise us, through the broker, including but not limited to irrevocably authorising us to act as your authorised person to provide such Instructions to the broker as may be necessary in relation to the Investments or as may be instructed by you to us from time to time, including but not limited to:

Annex 1 to schedule 1

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
‍
This Risk Disclosure Statement covers risks associated with Transactions that may be carried out through the Platform and forms an integral part of the Agreement. This is an important document which you should read carefully. The next page covers risks associated with overseas-listed investment products.

The objective of this Risk Disclosure Statement is to explain to you briefly the nature and risks of the Investments that you may undertake with us. In particular, you must be aware that the risk of loss in any Investment or Transaction can be substantial.

‍

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INVESTMENTS AND GENERAL FINANCIAL MARKET RISKS

You are fully aware of the risk relating to Transactions entered into. In particular, you understand that:

Your Investments are not bank deposits and are not obligations of, or guaranteed by Endowus or any of its affiliates and are subject to all investment risks and possible loss of the principal amount invested by you. You may therefore lose your entire capital by entering into the Transactions. Past performance of the same or of similar investments is not an indication of, nor a guarantee of future performance of your Investment; and
No Investment can be 100% profitable. As a general guide, you should only invest if you fully understand the Investments and the risks associated with them.

Before entering into any Investment or Transaction, you should ensure that you understand fully:

the nature and fundamentals of each Investment or Transaction and the market in which such Investment or Transaction (where applicable) is traded in;
the legal terms and conditions and all of your rights and obligations for each Investment or Transaction, including:
- the terms as to price, tenor, expiration dates and other terms material to the Investment or Transaction; and
- any term describing risk factors, such as volatility, liquidity, inability to exit the Investment or Transaction.
the legal risks surrounding the Investment or Transaction, including the circumstances under which the Investment or Transaction may be illegal, resulting in it being void and unenforceable;
the extent of the economic and associated risks to which you are exposed to as a result of such Investment or Transaction (and to determine that such risk is
suitable for you in light of your own specific experience in relation to that specific Investment or Transaction and your financial objectives, circumstances and resources);
the regulatory and tax treatment of the Investment or Transaction; and
the nature and scope of the relationship between yourself and Endowus in respect of each Investment or Transaction undertaken by you.

You should always ensure that you have in place proper and sufficient means of monitoring the various types of risks associated with any Investment or Transaction. Endowus will not be undertaking such monitoring for you in any circumstance whatsoever.

‍

You should be aware that Endowus is not responsible for any Losses that may be suffered by you, arising from or in connection with movement in prices or exchange rates, errors or delays in the transmission of any instruction from or to you or changes in any Applicable Law.

‍

SUITABILITY OF RECOMMENDATIONS

You agree that any advice provided by us will be based on information from sources believed to be accurate, however no representation or warranty, express or implied is made by us as to the accuracy, completeness or suitability of such advice.

You agree that you are solely responsible for making your own independent investigation and appraisal of any advice, recommendations, view, opinion or information provided by us. You shall fully understand and familiarise yourself with all the terms and conditions of each Investment and the risks involved, and agree that you will only accept our Recommended Investment Portfolio and Transactions on the basis of your own independent review and determination that the Recommended Investment Portfolio and/or Investments are suitable and appropriate for you, taking into account your specific objectives, financial situation, investment experience, knowledge and particular needs.

You agree and acknowledge that you have made all necessary enquiries and we have informed you of all material features of and risks involved in respect of the Investments including but not limited to information on:

‍

the nature and objective of the Investments;
the key benefits and risks of the Investments;
details of the providers of the Investments;
your key rights with respect to the Investments;
the intended investment horizon of the Investments;
the ease of converting the Investments to cash;
the expected level of your risk tolerance in respect of the Investments;
the commitment required from you in respect of the Investments;
the pricing of the Investments;
the fees and charges to be borne by you in respect of the Investments;
the frequency of reports to be provided to you in respect of the Investments;
any applicable charges or restrictions on withdrawal, surrender or claim procedures of the Investments;
any applicable warnings, exclusions and disclaimers; and
information in relation to where the prospectus in respect of the Investment (if applicable) may be accessed, or if we consider it appropriate, an abridged version of such prospectus.

ALGORITHMS RISK

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 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.

You should also be aware that there is a general risk of market failure or collapse which may arise from any political or financial development or any unpredictable event that may immediately result in sharp price movements, volatile market conditions and strained market liquidity.

Under certain market conditions, it may be difficult or impossible to liquidate a position, to assess a fair price or assess risk exposure. This can happen, for example, where there is simply no market traders for such Investment or Transaction, where there is a failure in electronic or telecommunications systems or where there is the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event (which includes any form of restriction, moratorium or suspension on trading imposed by an Exchange, market or other authority regulating trading in the Investments or Transactions). Such events will increase the risk of loss to you.

‍

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 that Losses might be 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.

‍

RISK DISCLOSURE WARNING ON CUSTODY SERVICES

Your holdings with us are held under custody accounts with us or our nominee, who will be a licensed custodian or an approved trustee for collective investment schemes under the Securities and Futures Act 2001. If we or our nominee becomes insolvent, you may not be able to recover your holdings.

We may pool your Investments with other customers’ investments which we believe are similar in nature or category. This is known as commingling. In this situation, your interest in the Investments may not be easily identified through documentation, but we or our nominee will maintain a record of your interest.

If your Investments are denominated in foreign currency(ies), or are listed outside Singapore in jurisdictions where we do not have operations in, we may appoint custodians or sub-custodians outside Singapore, which are licensed, registered or authorised to act as custodians in the countries/regions or territories where the account(s) are maintained. You may be exposed to additional risk as the applicable laws and regulations of the foreign jurisdiction may differ from Singapore law. This means that your Investments do not enjoy the same protection as those held in custody accounts in Singapore. A possible consequence of this is that in the event of a legal dispute in that market, the courts in that market may not recognise your Investments as belonging to you and you may not be able to recover your Investments.

‍

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 approved in-principle for listing and quotation only on, or listed for quotation or quoted only on, one or more 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.
