I Work For You

As a Financial Adviser, it is my duty to abide by the Code of Conduct for Financial Service Providers

I am paid by the providers for the services I provide; however, it is you that I work for. To ensure that I put your interests ahead of my own, I follow a 6-step advice process when providing personalised financial advice, which is based on your individual goals and needs.

I provide all of my recommendations in writing so that you have the opportunity to ask any questions you might have before implementing any of my advice.

Truviser Group Limited, and anyone who gives financial advice on our behalf, has duties under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 relating to the way that we give advice.

In place of an upfront fee, Truviser Group Limited is paid a commission for any new insurance taken up, of between 0% and 230% of the first year’s premium, depending on which insurance company you take out cover with. From year two, Truviser Group Limited may then receive an annual commission of between 0% and 25% of the premium for the time Truviser Group Limited remains the servicing adviser on the policy. I will confirm the amount of commission Truviser Group Limited will receive when I provide my recommendation to you.

This commission will range from 0% to 0.85% of the total lending, depending on which provider you choose to take a loan with. I will confirm the amount of commission Truviser Group Limited will receive when I provide my recommendation to you. 

In addition, Truviser Group Limited may receive a commission of up to 1% of the outstanding mortgage or lending balance annually which covers the ongoing service I provide to you, by way of trail commission and may also receive a sum of $150 for any loan that is refixed during the course of the loan.

KiwiSaver: 

Whilst I don’t provide KiwiSaver advice, I am able to refer you to one of the providers listed below who discuss what level of financial risk you are comfortable with and recommend a fund type that best matches your attitude toward risk and the length of time until you plan on accessing your funds (from conservative
through to aggressive). The providers I can refer you to are:
