A number of recent articles in the Australian press have discussed the liquidation or voluntary administration of several large funds that were specifically created as complying funds for the Significant Investor Visa (SIV) program.
This is devastating news for many, and has caused a variety of issues for those SIV holders who have been impacted by these investments which that need to be considered and actioned in a timely manner. In some instances, there is little time to reorganise these affairs, and many clients have shared with us that they have limited time to find a solution.
In response to these concerns, ShineWing Australia has put together a panel of experts to assist impacted individuals to help provide them with a ‘full-circle’ solution comprising legal, migration and financial help in one place.
Seeking out qualified, registered and independent migration and investment advice is particularly important at all times. This will ensure that any conflict of interest on the advisor side is removed, and that you are being informed of options that are right for your situation before making investment choices.
Migration
ShineWing Australia has highly experienced migration agents with particular expertise in assisting clients from the Asia-Pacific region to obtain an Australian visa. We advise on many different visa classes according to individual circumstances and personal needs, including SIVs.
As Registered Migration Agents (RMA) we act independently, and we also adhere to the Code of Conduct set out by the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority.
If you are a current SIV holder and have been affected by breaches of complying funds, and you think it may have jeopardised your visa status, we will be able to offer you a free consultation on your visa and investment status. Our services areas are listed below but we are happy to assist in other visa matters as appropriate.
Financial Services
ShineWing Australia’s Financial Planning and Debt Advisory services are provided by Authorised Representatives of ShineWing Australia Wealth Pty Ltd AFSL/ACL 236556.
When investing as an SIV or otherwise, it is important to perform sound due diligence on your intended investment target and ensure:
-
there are no conflicts of interest
-
the investment vehicle has a proven track record of underlying managed funds
-
it has a strict compliance regime
-
it has the correct diversification per section of the SIV framework
-
the fund or investment vehicle is registered and compliant with ASIC
-
that the fund is backed by independent advice and focused on asset quality, as opposed to a focus on the sale of a particular product.
Managing the wealth and private affairs of business owners, families and high net worth individuals requires a deep appreciation of individual circumstances, and a detailed understanding of immediate needs and future financial objectives.
Private Clients and Wealth covers the following services:

ShineWing Australia is delighted to invite you as our guest to the upcoming Harvard Club event:
Beyond shareholder value: The emerging sustainable enterprise.
In August, 181 of the 193 members of the US Business Roundtable, signed a new statement of its principles of corporate governance. The Sydney Morning Herald cited that the existing statement no longer accurately described the way CEOs strive to create value for all stakeholders. Addressing the long term interests of all stakeholders is now thought to directly include issues such as diversity, social inclusion and the environment. This new statement has significant ramifications for corporate governance in Australia.
Our expert speaker Rob Gell AM, Principal Consultant, ShineWing Australia will provide insights on the changing nature of corporate governance, with an ever increasing focus on sustainability. Our panel will be moderated by David Lynch, Principal Consultant, ShineWing Australia, will explore the complexity of issues corporations now face and provide insights on how leading enterprises are responding.
A light lunch will be served and there will be an opportunity to network with Club members and guests.
