Our Fees

The actual fee charged to you will depend on the nature and scope of the advice or service we provide. We will discuss and agree on the actual fees with you before we proceed and explain how they are payable.

In most cases for lending, we will not charge fees for our services as most financiers we work with will pay a commission.

Types of Fees That May Apply

Fees charged for our advice and services may be based on a combination of a set dollar amount or a percentage-based fee, and may include charges for initial advice and/or ongoing or annual advice and services.

In some cases, we may charge a fee. This typically applies when:

  • Commission is not payable from the financier — normally on business lending, commercial property lending, and some non-bank lending
  • Your lending is repaid within a timeframe that triggers recovery of commission (financiers claw back upfront commissions when repaid within approximately 28 months of drawdown)
  • Funding is arranged but there is no intention of proceeding with the drawdown of funds

We will discuss and agree on any applicable fees as soon as it becomes apparent.

Commissions

For services in relation to investments and loan products, commissions may be paid by the product provider as follows:

  • Initial commission — A percentage of the value of your investment contributions or loan balance.
  • Ongoing commission — A percentage of the value of your investment balance or outstanding loan amount, usually calculated at the end of each month in which you hold the investment or loan.

We will disclose the amount or range of any commission expected when making a recommendation.

Conflicts of Interest

We are here for you and will do the best we can for you. Your interests are our priority, although we do have business relationships with product providers also.

How we manage conflicts of interest:

  • We follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are made appropriately, based on clients' goals and circumstances.
  • All our advisers undergo annual training about how to manage conflicts of interest.
  • We maintain registers of conflicts of interest and the gifts and incentives we receive, monitored regularly with additional training as required.
  • We undertake an annual independent Compliance Assurance Review.

Our Duties and Obligations to You

We are bound by the duties of the Financial Markets Conduct Act (431I, 431K, 431L and 431M) to:

  • Meet the standards of competence, knowledge and skill set out in the Code of Conduct.
  • Give priority to our clients' interests.
  • Exercise care, diligence, and skill.
  • Meet the standards of ethical behaviour, conduct, and client care set out in the Code of Conduct.

Privacy and Data Handling

We respect your privacy and handle all personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020. Your information will only be shared with third parties when necessary to provide our services or with your consent. You can request a copy of, or correction to, your personal information at any time.
