Risk management

ASIC Benchmarks for improved disclosure to retail investors

In September 2008 ASIC developed 8 benchmarks for unlisted mortgage schemes for retail investors to better understand and assess the risks, rewards and suitability of this form of investment for you.

Investment Ratings

Investment ratings are an opinion by a ratings agency about the likely performance of an investment or its relative performance compared to other similar investments.

ASL and ASIF cannot be rated by a ratings agency as it is impractical and commercial unviable to rate each sub scheme in the short time frame that ASL receives, prrocesses and allocates investors to each mortgage security.

Investment Warning - ASL recommends you obtain independent financial advice before any investment.

ASL investment success is built on:

Risk reviews

Risk for general investment, property, inflation, investment selection, capital and income is constantly monitored. Breaches are reported and recommendations for improvement are made by all ASL staff, the Compliance Officer or the Internal Compliance Committee. The ASL Board receives and reviews management and compliance reports to ensure risk is being adequately managed. The ASL Auditor reviews the compliance process and reports independently to the ASL Board and the Audit & Compliance Committee. ASL uses this process to tighten and improve future management of existing risks.
