Referral services

Although we do not provide advice on KiwiSaver, investments, personal risk, fire & general insurance, legal, tax and accounting services, we can refer you to professionals who do provide such advice.

We are unable to offer legal or tax advice and recommend you consult your solicitor or accountant for this.

Any advice we give in relation to KiwiSaver withdrawal for a first home purchase is limited to factual information on what can be withdrawn and the process for this, and does not extend to whether or not this is in your best interests. Please consult an investment adviser for advice on retirement savings.

Our duties and obligations to you
We have duties and obligations under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 relating to the way I give advice. We are required to:
  • Ensure you understand the nature and scope of advice you ask us to provide.
  • Provide a service that is relevant to that agreed scope of advice and suitable to your circumstances and needs.
  • Listen to your needs, concerns, preferences and to treat you fairly and with respect.
  • Act with integrity and give priority to your interests and not my own.
  • Exercise care diligence and skill.
  • Meet the necessary standards of competence, knowledge, and skill required.
  • Ensure you understand my recommendations and any associated risks.
  • Keep you informed along the way and communicate in a timely, clear, and effective manner.

This is only a summary of the duties that I have. More information is available by visiting the Financial Markets Authority website at: www.fma.govt.nz/compliance/role/financial-advice-provider/#dapDuties

Fees and expenses

Generally we won’t charge you any fees for the financial advice I provide to you. This is possible because, on settlement of a loan, we usually receive commission from the lender. Any exceptions to this general position are explained below.

We may charge you a one-off fee if the following occurs:

  • When we don’t receive commission from the lender: If you request that I provide financial advice and we do not receive a commission from the lender, we may charge you a one-off fee. Any such fee would be agreed and authorised by you in writing before we complete the services, and would be based on an estimate of the time spent providing the advice.(This may arise in the rare event that you request that we provide services in relation to either a product that is offered by a lender that we do not hold an accreditation with, or a product that is outside my usual arrangements with my product providers).
  • When we have to repay commission to the lender: If a lender requires that we repay commission within 28 months of settlement of your loan, we may charge you a one-off fee. Any such fee would be no more than $2,500 (plus GST) and would be calculated based on a rate of $250 (plus GST) per hour of our time spent providing financial advice to you in connection with the applicable loan. The fee we charge you will not exceed the amount of commission we have to repay to the lender. You will be invoiced for any one-off fee and will be given 30 days to make payment.
Conflicts of interest

How we get paid
On settlement of a mortgage we usually receive commission from the applicable product provider. The commission is generally of an upfront nature but may also include a trail commission. We also receive a fixed rate roll over fee from some product providers if we assist in refixing your loan.

To ensure that we prioritise your interests above our own, we follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are based on your objectives, needs and circumstances. We further manage possible conflicts of interest by:

  • Always recommending the best product for your purpose regardless of the type and amount of commission I will receive.
  • Having access to a range of product providers
  • Ensuring the amount of any loan is in accordance with your identified needs.

Providing you with the below table showing commission rates and types by product provider. The commission I receive on loans is calculated as a percentage of the loan.
