Getting Started
Accessing Your Investment Opportunity
You may receive a direct application link from your fund manager that takes you straight to the data room and digital application form. Click the link to begin your application.
If you already have portal access, you can also discover and apply for opportunities directly through the Investor Portal.
Choosing How You Are Investing
On some capital raises you are asked how you are investing before any offer document is available.
Where the raise is open to both wholesale and retail investors, you are asked whether you are investing as a wholesale or retail investor, then shown the document that applies to you: an Information Memorandum (IM) for wholesale investors, or a Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for retail investors. Choosing wholesale includes certifying your wholesale status
Where the raise is open to wholesale investors only, you certify your wholesale status before the IM and the other offer documents are available
Where the raise is open to retail investors only, there is no extra step and the PDS is presented as usual
Once you have answered, an indicator shows which type you are viewing as, and you can change it.
Note: certifying here is a declaration you make for this application. It is separate from a wholesale certificate held against an investing entity.
You need to download the offer document before you can continue. This is the document that matches how you said you are investing: the IM for wholesale investors, or the PDS for retail investors. If you change your investor type, you are asked to download the new document before continuing.

Note: If you arrived here via an Add to Investment button on an existing holding, this step — along with tax details, nature and purpose, and bank account — is already completed for you, and you'll land further along in the application. You can still review or change any of these steps from the sidebar.
Step 3: Complete the Investment Application
Where the raise is open to both wholesale and retail investors, your earlier answer is shown here with a Change action. Changing it takes you back to the start, where you answer again and download the matching document before continuing. Answers you have already given on other steps are kept.
Where the raise is open to retail investors only, retail is pre-selected and you can change it to wholesale here without starting again, because the document is the same either way.
Where the raise is open to wholesale investors only, the question is not shown.
