Better questions.

Practical checklists to help you organise your research. These are general starting points, not personal investment recommendations.
01 / Private markets
Before you explore an unlisted company
A familiar name is a starting point. The details of the business and the specific security matter just as much.
- Identify the legal issuer and the security or interest being offered.
- Review dated financial statements, business performance, ownership and material risks.
- Ask how the quoted price was established and which charges apply.
- Understand transfer conditions, holding restrictions and possible routes to exit.
- Consider what would happen if no IPO or buyer materialises.
02 / Property
The details behind a property decision
Location is only one part of the decision. Confirm exactly what the quotation and documents describe.
- Identify the specific unit or plot, seller, developer and ownership structure.
- Request the title, project approvals and registration details applicable to that property.
- Clarify area measurements, inclusions, infrastructure and current construction status.
- Review the full cost, payment schedule, ongoing charges and handover conditions.
- For overseas property, obtain advice on ownership, remittance, tax and currency exposure.
03 / Diamond jewellery
Look beyond the design
A clear specification and itemised quotation make pieces easier to understand.
- Ask for actual item photographs, dimensions and the metal’s purity and weight.
- Confirm whether diamonds are natural or laboratory-grown, and review grading details.
- Understand the certification and the identity of the issuing laboratory.
- Separate metal, stones, making charges, taxes and other charges in the quotation.
- Read the delivery, returns, exchange and any separate buyback conditions.
