The Fund Subscription Agreement is a crucial document used in the Australian investment funds industry when an investor wishes to participate in an investment fund. It serves as the primary contractual arrangement between the fund manager/responsible entity and the investor, establishing the terms under which the investment will be made. This document is essential for compliance with Australian regulatory requirements, including the Corporations Act 2001, AML/CTF legislation, and ASIC guidelines. It typically includes detailed information about the investment process, investor qualifications (such as wholesale investor status), payment terms, representations and warranties, and various regulatory disclosures. The agreement is designed to protect all parties' interests while ensuring regulatory compliance in the Australian financial services context.
