Legal Disclaimer

All information on this website is for general information only and should not be taken as constituting professional advice. I am not a licensed financial adviser and therefore cannot give personal financial advice, financial recommendations, or even general financial advice. The sole purpose of our content is not to provide financial advice but to provide factual information for educational purposes only. You should consider seeking independent legal, financial, taxation or other advice to check how the information on this website relates to your unique circumstances. ​Although, good luck with that, considering the disgraceful conduct of so many licensed financial advisers.

I make every effort to keep content relevant, up-to-date and accurate. However, due to the fluid nature of financial information (e.g., bank interest rates, investment returns, product fees), it can be difficult to do so. As such, Passive Investing Australia makes no guarantees that anything written on the website is accurate or factually correct, and we are not liable for any loss caused, whether due to negligence or otherwise arising from the use of, or reliance on, the information provided directly or indirectly, by use of this website.
