Notice to Investors in Sayers Road Investment Co Unit Trust

Financial Dispute Legal is assisting investors who invested in the Finexia Childcare Income Fund and may have been given unsuitable or inadequate financial advice. Investors could have potential rights to compensation if key risks, eligibility as a wholesale investor, or the nature of the investment were not properly explained. If you invested in the Fund and have concerns, contact Financial Dispute Legal to discuss your circumstances and potential compensation options.

Private credit - lending that happens outside the banking system - has grown popular in Australia as a high-yield alternative to shares, property and traditional fixed income, but the collapses of developer Bathla (around $3.2 billion in liabilities) and hospitality figure Jon Adgemis (roughly $1.8 billion borrowed) show how risky these arrangements can be, especially when marketed under reassuring labels like "secured," "property-backed" or "fixed interest." ASIC has called this the sector's "first real test" and has already issued stop orders against several funds amid rising concern about retail and superannuation exposure. The law firm behind this piece, Financial Dispute Legal, argues that SMSF trustees who were advised into these products without proper regard for the actual risk may have grounds to pursue advisers, licensees or promoters for compensation, and is offering to help investors who've suffered losses explore options like an AFCA complaint.

AFCA has reinstated APT Strategy’s membership for 12 months, reopening the complaints pathway for people who received financial advice from APT Strategy or its authorised representatives. This follows successful Supreme Court proceedings by Financial Dispute Legal, which resulted in ASIC re-registering the company and allowing consumers to once again pursue complaints and potential compensation through AFCA.
