Your investment is in debentures issued by the Trustees of the Roman Catholic Church for the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle ABN 62 089 182 027 (the Trustees/we/us) on behalf of the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle Catholic Community Fund ABN 59 728 447 508 (the Fund). Pursuant to the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) Banking Exemption No.1 of 2021, the Fund is not prudentially supervised by APRA. Therefore, an investor in the Fund will not receive the benefit of the financial claims scheme or depositor protection provisions of the Banking Act 1959 (Cth). Investments in the Fund are intended to be a means for investors to support the charitable purposes of the Fund. The Fund is required by law to advise investors that investments in it are only intended to attract investors whose primary purpose for making their investment is to support the charitable purposes of the Fund, that investors may be unable to get some or all of their money back when they expect or at all, that investments are not subject to the usual protections for investors under the Corporations Act 2001 or regulation by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, and that the investment is not comparable to investments with banks, finance companies or fund managers. CDPF Limited, a company established by the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, has indemnified the Fund against any liability arising out of a claim by investors in the Fund. In practice, this means your investment is backed by the assets of the Catholic Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle.
