Information on Douugh is not an offer, solicitation of an offer, or advice to buy or sell securities or any financial product, or to open a trading account in any jurisdiction where Douugh is not registered to do so. Upon opening an account with Douugh from a jurisdiction where Douugh is not registered or able to market its services, you confirm that Douugh did not make an offer, solicit an offer or provide any advice to buy or sell a financial product.

Before investing in an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF), an investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the investment company carefully. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the investment company. You should read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Inverse and leveraged ETFs are complicated instruments and are generally only suitable for experienced investors and traders who monitor their trading regularly and understand the nature of the product. On Douugh, before trading these types of instruments, we suggest that you make yourself aware of the risks involved with them. We’ll also seek your confirmation that you understand these risks before you place a trade in one.

As these products are designed to meet their stated objectives on a daily basis, they may not be suitable for long-term investments. Please make sure you are aware of these risks before you trade these products.

Before participating in fully paid securities lending on Douugh (Stock Lending), please consider whether it is right for you and seek appropriate financial, legal and taxation advice. You should consider your financial situation and needs, tax status, investment objectives, investment time horizon, liquidity needs, risk tolerance and any other relevant information. Douugh does not take these into account. Please review Douugh’s Financial Services Guide, Terms and Conditions and Stock Lending Explained, as well as DriveWealth’s Risk Disclosures and Master Securities Lending Agreement before joining Douugh. 

Only ‘fully paid’ securities are eligible to be loaned, that is, securities that are in your Douugh account which have settled and have been fully paid for by you. There is no guarantee that your securities will be loaned. The securities actually borrowed, the duration of each loan and the revenue earned will vary based on market conditions and borrowing demand, amongst other things. If DriveWealth borrows your securities, it may then lend those securities to other market participants such as banks, investment funds, brokers etc. If your securities are loaned, you should be aware that they could be used to facilitate short selling, which could put downward pressure on the price of the loaned securities and affect the long-term value of your securities. 

When your shares are lent, ownership of the shares transfers from the lender (you) to the borrower. However, you retain a contractual right to the return of the loaned securities and may sell your shares or opt-out of Stock Lending at any time which will terminate the loan. As you retain economic ownership of the shares, you will still be exposed to fluctuations in the value of the shares while they are on loan. 

You may opt-out of securities lending at any time by contacting us at help.au@douugh.com

If there is a dividend payment or other distribution made while your securities are on loan, you will receive an equivalent cash payment. However, generally loans will be terminated prior to dividends being paid and you will receive the dividends as usual. Be aware that such income may attract tax consequences and consider whether it’s appropriate to obtain professional tax advice. While a loan is outstanding, and until loaned securities are credited back to your account upon termination of a loan, you will lose your right to vote in respect of the loaned securities. 

When your securities are on loan there is also a risk that the borrower is unable to return them. To protect lenders, assets valued at least the same value of the borrowed securities will be set aside in a separate collateral account. In the event that the borrower defaults on the loan or your securities, you (the lender) can be repaid from the collateral. When you sign up to Douugh, DriveWealth will seek your consent and authority to establish and maintain such a collateral account for the benefit of all Douugh’s customers whose US securities are lent.  

Please be aware that SIPC may not protect you with respect to loaned securities once such securities are removed from your Douugh account, and therefore, the collateral held may constitute the only source of satisfaction of DriveWealth’s obligations in the event DriveWealth fails to return the loaned securities.
