Conflicts of Interest and Incentives

We receive commissions from the providers on whose products we give financial advice.  The amount of the commission is based on the amount of the loan.

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 our clients’ interests above their own, we follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are made on the basis of each client’s goals and circumstances.  All our financial advisers undergo annual training about how to manage conflicts of interest.  We maintain registers of conflicts of interests, and the gifts and incentives we receive.  These registers are monitored and additional training is sought where necessary.  Our compliance program is also subject to an annual audit.
