Unless expressly stated otherwise, QIC is the only entity responsible for the content of the information on this website (the “Information”).
No offer
The Information does not constitute and should not be relied on as financial product or investment advice or an offer or solicitation to subscribe for, or do anything in respect of, any product or service. The Information does not contain anything in it that forms the basis of any contract or commitment.
Simulations and opinions
Any simulations and opinions presented in the Information are of a general nature and for commentary purposes only and result from analysis carried out by QIC at a particular point in time and are no indication whatsoever of future results. The Information does not take into account any investor’s personal, financial or tax objectives, situations or needs and is subject to change according to market conditions.
Forward looking statements
Any forward looking statements contained in the Information are not a guarantee of future performance, and actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially. Forward looking statements in the Information are predictions only and may be affected by inaccurate assumptions and/or known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors which may be beyond the control of QIC.
Past performance
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
Information is provided for general information purposes only
The Information is provided solely for general information purposes only and is not intended to be, and must not alone be taken as, the basis for an investment decision. It has been prepared without taking into account your objectives, financial situation or needs.
The Information is only intended to provide a general overview of the matters with which it deals. The Information is not intended to be comprehensive, nor does it purport to constitute advice.
Investors should conduct their own investigation and analysis of an investment with QIC (or any of its related bodies corporate) and the Information and make their own assessment of the appropriateness of the Information and any proposed investment having regard to their own objectives, financial situation and needs, independently and without reliance on QIC or its respective directors, employees, agents and affiliates. In addition, investors are strongly urged to consult their own independent legal counsel and financial, accounting, regulatory and tax advisers before making any investment decisions.
Before making any investment decisions, investors should consult the relevant disclosure document in order to acquaint themselves with the precise nature of any risks incurred and in particular the risk of capital loss and, where relevant, the liquidity risk of underlying assets. Any investment decision must be made in accordance with investors’ investment objectives, their investment horizon and their capacity to deal with the risk arising from the transaction. You should do this before making an investment decision by making this assessment yourself, or seeking the assistance of an adviser.
Information subject to change
The Information is subject to change at any time and at QIC’s absolute discretion and QIC is under no obligation to notify any person of any change, including anyone who has printed or had access to a hard copy of the Information. It is recommended that you review the Information provided on or via this website, including this Disclaimer, periodically for changes. QIC will endeavour to ensure that information is updated as soon as practicable when it becomes aware that material changes have occurred.
Visitor Figures
Where the website includes any Information indicating the number of visitor to a shopping centre, unless expressly stated otherwise, this Information represents the estimated number of visits to the relevant shopping centre for the stated period. The estimate is the result of applying a visitor estimation parameter to the total number of electronically recorded entries and exits to and from the relevant shopping centre. Further information on the visitor estimation process can be obtained by contacting Centre Management.

Intellectual Property
QIC owns and retains all rights (including copyrights, trademarks, patents as well as any other intellectual property right) in relation to all Information, or has a licence or agreement to use that Information where it is owned by someone else. You may only reproduce the Information for personal or non-commercial use, and it must not be reproduced, stored, distributed or transmitted to any other person, in any form or by any means (electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise), or used in any other way without the prior written consent of QIC (except to the extent required by law).
QIC
QIC is a wholesale funds manager and its products and services are not directly available to, and the Information may not be accessed by, retail clients. QIC is a government owned corporation constituted under the Queensland Investment Corporation Act 1991 (Qld). QIC is regulated by State Government legislation pertaining to government owned corporations in addition to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“Corporations Act”).
Application of Corporations Act
QIC is registered under the Corporations Act as a public company limited by shares. As a company government owned corporation not all provisions of the Corporations Act apply to QIC.
Being incorporated under the Corporations Act would ordinarily require a funds manager such as QIC to obtain an Australian financial services (“AFS”) licence. Due to its status as a government owned corporation, QIC is currently not required to formally apply for an AFS licence.
QIC therefore does not hold an AFS licence and the financial product disclosure provisions in the Corporations Act do not apply to QIC.
Please note however that QIC Private Capital Pty Ltd (“QPC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of QIC, has been issued with an AFS licence and other wholly owned subsidiaries of QIC are authorised representatives of QPC. QIC’s subsidiaries are required to comply with the Corporations Act.
QPC
QIC Private Capital Pty Ltd (QPC) is a subsidiary of QIC. QPC is an Australian proprietary limited company which holds an AFS licence (AFSL 298710) and which is subject to oversight by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission.
Applicable Law
This website and its Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Queensland, Australia.
Taxation disclosure
No consideration has been given to the impact of any tax and revenue laws on prospective investors. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisers in relation to any such consequences.
