Fees or expenses

We do not charge fees, expenses or any other amount for any financial advice provided to my clients.

Conflicts of interest and incentives

We receive commissions from the providers on whose products we give financial advice (insurers, banks, lenders, investment managers and KiwiSaver providers). If you decide to take out insurance or a mortgage, or to take our investment or KiwiSaver advice, the provider will pay a commission to me.

The amount of commission is based on the amount of the premium or mortgage, or the investment or KiwiSaver balance.

From time to time, product providers may also reward me for the overall business we provide to them. They may give us tickets to sports events, hampers, or other incentives. To ensure that we prioritise my clients’ interests above our own, we follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are made on the basis of each client’s goals and circumstances. We undergo annual training about how to manage conflicts of interest. We maintain registers of conflicts of interests, and the gifts and incentives we receive. We undertake a compliance audit, and a review of our compliance programme is undertaken annually by a reputable compliance adviser or company.

Complaints handling and dispute resolution​

Our internal complaints process

If you have a problem, concern or complaint about any part of our advice or service, please tell us so that we can try to fix the problem. We can be reached via email at neiladviser1@gmail.com or by calling: 027 222 6838. You can also write to us at: 4 Mervyn Brown Place, Masterton 5810.

The internal complaints process is:

  • We will review the complaint and discuss with you how we will resolve this and obtain any additional information if required.

  • We aim to resolve any complaints in a timely manner and will indicate to you the time this complaint will take to resolve.

  • We will communicate with you in the method you prefer – phone, email or written.

If we cannot resolve your complaint in a manner which is acceptable then you can contact our free independent dispute resolution service.

Our external complaints process

If we cannot agree on how to fix the issue or if you decide not to use the internal complaints scheme, you can contact my external disputes resolution scheme – Insurance & Financial Services Ombudsman Scheme. This service will cost you nothing and will help us resolve any disagreements.​
