Before You Invest.

No. Anyone who meets the eligibility criteria can invest with UC Invest. You do not need to be a member of the Uniting Church or any church in general. UC Invest is open to people from all backgrounds.

No. Deposits must be made electronically to a bank account in your name.

Australian residents aged 13 or over who meet the identity verification requirements can open an account with us.

Children under 13 years of age may not hold or operate a UCSAIF account in their own name. Children of any age may have their names noted on an account which is owned and operated by an adult (e.g. a parent or guardian).” If we are unable to verify their identity, account can be opened in parent/guardian’s name

UC Invest products are not covered by the Australian Government’s financial guarantee scheme, and they are not regulated by ASIC in the same way as traditional financial products. That means the usual investor protections under the Corporations Act do not apply.

The Fund is required by law to advise investors that they 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 (ASIC), and that the investment is not comparable to investments with banks, finance companies or fund managers
