Frequently asked questions

Is AlphaIQ licensed to give financial advice?
No. AlphaIQ is a technology platform, not a licensed financial adviser. All outputs — AI signals, projections, and scenario analysis — are for informational purposes only. Always consult a licensed adviser (AFS licensee) before making investment or financial decisions.
Does AlphaIQ support SMSF trustees?
Yes. SMSF portfolio value is derived from your uploaded holdings, and super balances support per-member ownership splits. Retirement projections, contribution caps, and What-If scenarios all handle SMSF correctly alongside retail and industry funds.
How is my financial data stored and protected?
Your data is stored with row-level security — only accessible by your account. AlphaIQ does not sell your data to third parties. All financial figures you enter are used solely to power your projections and AI features within the platform.
What format should my broker holdings statement be in?
PDF holdings statements from any broker showing your current open positions. AlphaIQ is broker-agnostic. The statement should show current holdings — not a transaction history or trade confirmation report. If positions are not recognised after upload, the reconciliation panel will flag them for manual review.
Does AlphaIQ use Australian financial year conventions?
Yes. All calculations, projections, and date logic use the Australian financial year (1 July – 30 June) with ATO-correct rates and contribution caps.
How accurate are the Tax page estimates?
The Tax page is experimental and uses your profile data to produce estimates — not a tax return. Figures should be treated as a planning guide. Always verify with a registered tax agent or via myTax before lodging.
Can I connect my financial adviser to AlphaIQ?
Yes, via the My Team section (currently in beta). Invite an adviser or accountant by email and they'll get access to a read-only view of your data through a dedicated adviser portal.
How do I cancel or delete my account?
Go to Settings → Account. If you're on a paid plan, you can downgrade to the free tier first. Account deletion is permanent and removes all stored data.
