ASIC cancels AFS licence of Trade Wind Financial Services

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) today announces the imposition of a ban on former financial adviser Adam John Bevan for five years from providing financial services, controlling a financial services business, or performing any function in relation to carrying on a financial services business.

Mr Bevan was an authorised representative of Gold Coast based Australian financial services licensee, Trade Wind Financial Services Pty Ltd between 25 July 2017 and 18 May 2020. During that period, Mr Bevan was also the sole director of Trade Wind FS.

ASIC found that Mr Bevan failed to act in the best interests of three Trade Wind FS clients when he failed to make reasonable enquiries about their existing superannuation funds and when he did not put in place measures to ensure their funds were transferred in accordance with his advice.

The regulator also found that Mr Bevan is not a fit and proper person, having regard to his connection to a refusal or failure to give effect to a determination by AFCA.

ASIC has also cancelled the AFSL of Trade Wind FS, effective 26 May 2021. ASIC took this action due to a failure by Trade Wind FS to co-operate with the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) and pay two AFCA determinations on time.

Trade Wind FS also failed to lodge its 2019 and 2020 audited financial accounts and comply with several licence conditions including failing to notify ASIC of the change in the key person for the AFSL.

AFSL holders must comply with their licence conditions and have adequate resources to provide the financial services covered by their licence. ASIC may suspend or cancel an AFSL if a licensee fails to meet its obligations.

Trade Wind FS held an AFSL since 16 December 2010 (AFSL number 458115).

Although ASIC has cancelled the AFSL, it has used its power under s915H of the Corporations Act to allow the licence to continue in effect until 31 August 2021. This ensures that the AFSL is treated as not having been cancelled for the purpose of putting in place a dispute resolution scheme and further arrangements for compensating retail clients, including professional indemnity insurance.

  9. Mit einer Mindesteinzahlung von nur 5€ und einem großzügigen Willkommenspaket für Neukunden ist es kein Wunder,
    dass diese neue Marke in Deutschland schnell viele Fans
    gewonnen hat. Nur wenn ein Casino unsere hohen Standards erfüllt, wird es in unseren umfassenden Leitfaden für das beste Online-Casino mit Echtgeld
    aufgenommen. Aus diesem Grund hat unser Team von Casinospiele-Experten viele Stunden damit verbracht,
    Ihnen bei der Suche nach der besten Lösung zu helfen. Wer in einem Online Casinos Echtgeld setzen möchte,
    der sollte sich seine Wahl gut überlegen.
    Ein Startguthaben in Echtgeld ist ein fester Geldbetrag, der neuen Kunden bei der Registrierung in einer Online
    Spielhalle gutgeschrieben wird. Trotz der Einschränkungen können Boni ohne Einzahlung
    eine gute Wahl sein, um das beste Echtgeld Casino auszuprobieren, bevor Sie eigenes Geld investieren. Ein Einzahlungsbonus hingegen bietet mehr Potenzial für größere Gewinne und
    spricht erfahrenere User an.
    Beachtet, dass in manchen Echtgeld Spielhallen die Spiele des Entwicklers unter
    “Greentube” zu finden sind, einer Marke des Unternehmens Novomatic, zu dem Novoline als Marke gehört.
    Doch auch moderne Kreationen von Merkur könnt ihr in Online
    Spielotheken mit Echtgeld Spielen entdecken. Seit der Regulierung aus dem Jahr 2021 sind nur einige Spielkategorien deutschlandweit mit deutscher Lizenz zugelassen. Auf dem deutschen Glücksspielmarkt finden Spieler aktuell eine reduzierte Auswahl an Echtgeld Spielen vor.
    Damit helfen wir euch dabei, eure Favoriten direkt zu entdecken und
    vermitteln euch wertvolles Wissen aus der Welt der virtuellen Glücksspiele.
    Lasst euch weder von hohen Boni noch von Gewinnversprechen dazu bringen, auf einen Glücksspielanbieter zu setzen, der
    die Sicherheitsstandards nicht vollumfänglich erfüllt.
