Challenger Product Information

Each Challenger product has its own unique features and risks (which include possible loss of money invested and fluctuating investment returns). These particular features and risks are set out in the relevant Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) or other offer document (as the case may be). You should always consider whether or not a particular Challenger product is appropriate for you in light of your particular needs, objectives and financial circumstances. In particular, you should:

understand the relevant product's features and risks;
seek independent advice (particularly about such individual matters as taxation, retirement planning and investment risk tolerance); and
read the relevant current PDS or other offer document relevant to the Challenger product,

when making an investment decision. All such PDSs or offer documents are available free of charge on this website or by contacting your financial adviser or Challenger by calling our Investor Services team on 13 35 66 or visiting our website www.challenger.com.au.

All offers for Challenger products are contained in the relevant Product Disclosure Statement or other offer document (as the case may be) and not on the Challenger Websites. All applications for Challenger products must be made by Australian residents only and must be made using an application form attached to the current Product Disclosure Statement or other offer document relevant to that product.

Not all products and services referred to on the Challenger Websites are issued or provided by the same Challenger entity. Offers are made by the relevant product issuer, which will be a member of Challenger Limited. The product issuer is identified in the PDS or other offer document for each Challenger product. All statements made in relation to a particular Challenger product or class of Challenger products on the Challenger Websites are made by the issuer of that Challenger product(s).
