FEES AND EXPENSES
Generally, we do not charge you a fee for our services. This is because our advisers are usually remunerated by way of commission by the providers of products we recommend. However, there are some situations where fees may apply.

  • On occasion, some providers may not pay a commission. In this situation, we may charge a fee. The fee payable will be a fair reflection of the time required to provide you with advice and obtain approval for you. 

  • Where your adviser has obtained approval from a lender or insurer who does pay commission, but you decide not to proceed with the advice, we may charge you a fee based on a fair reflection of the time required to provide you with advice and obtain approval for you.

  • For lending advice, should you proceed with a loan implementation after advice from your adviser, and then repay or refinance your loan within 28 months of your loan being advanced we may charge you a fee for the time spent to get the initial loan approved and implemented.

  • For insurance advice, should ou proceed with a policy implementation after advice from your adviser, and then cancel, amend,orchangeyourpolicywithin25 months of premium payments, we may charge you a fee for the time spent to provide advice and obtain approval on your behalf.

Any fees relating to advice that may apply will be discussed and agreed with you prior to implementing your advice. Where a fee is charged, you will be issued with an invoice. This will be payable within 14 days or as otherwise agreed to with your adviser.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
We receive commissions from some of the lenders and insurers that we recommend. For lending, the amount of commission is based on the amount of the loan and will vary depending on the lending provider. For insurances, the amount of commission is based on the amount of premium associated with your cover and may vary depending on the insurer. Specific commissions will be advised to you when advice is provided.

From time to time, product providers may also reward us for the overall business we provide to them. They may give us tickets to sports events, hampers, or other incentives.

To ensure that our financial advisers prioritise the client’s interests above their own, we follow an advice process that ensures our personalised recommendations are made on the basis of the client’s goals and circumstances, as advised to us.

Our financial advisers complete regular training, including how to manage conflicts of interest. Each adviser has a regular compliance review of their advice process.

You can also write to us at: 1/1 Antares Place, Rosedale, Auckland. When we receive a complaint, we will consider it using our internal complaints process:
