Financial Dispute Legal is asking investors who invested in the Finexia Childcare Income Fund to contact our office.

The Finexia Childcare Income Fund is a registered managed investment scheme that provides funding to participants in Australia’s early childhood education and care sector. In recent times, the Fund has been promoted to wholesale investors as offering monthly distributions and targeted returns linked to the Reserve Bank of Australia Official Cash Rate.

Investors may have rights to compensation where financial advice recommending an investment did not adequately address matters such as:

  • whether the investor was properly classified as a wholesale investor;
  • whether the investment was suitable for the investor’s objectives, financial circumstances and risk tolerance;
  • the Fund’s lending, liquidity, concentration and capital-loss risks;
  • the reliability and conditional nature of targeted returns and monthly distributions;
  • the investor’s ability to withdraw or realise the investment; or
  • whether the adviser adequately explained the risks, costs and alternatives.

If you invested in the Finexia Childcare Income Fund and have concerns with your investment, please contact Financial Dispute Legal on 1300 433 533 or enquiry@fdlegal.com.au to discuss your circumstances and any potential rights to recover compensation.

Private Credit and SMSFs: What the Bathla and Adgemis Failures Mean for Investors

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.

APT Strategy’s AFCA membership reinstated following Financial Dispute Legal’s successful re-registration proceedings

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.

Federal Court:  Netwealth Breached Corporations Act Over First Guardian

The Federal Court has ruled that Netwealth breached the Corporations Act by failing to properly assess and disclose the risks of the First Guardian Master Fund before offering it to superannuation members. After more than 1,300 members invested $128.5 million in the fund, Netwealth agreed to compensate affected investors with over $100 million following ASIC action. The decision reinforces the legal responsibility of superannuation trustees to carry out thorough due diligence and highlights that investors who received financial advice to invest in the First Guardian or Shield Master Funds may still have potential rights to seek compensation.
