What We Advise On

We provide advice tailored to agreed scope, which may include:

  • Investment strategy and portfolio construction, including risk profiling and asset allocation.

  • Managed funds, KiwiSaver schemes, diversified funds, cash/term deposits, ETFs, bonds and fixed interest, and listed securities via approved platforms/managers.

  • Development and review of Statements of Investment Policy and Objectives (SIPO) for individuals, trusts, and entities.

  • Actuarial and consulting inputs relevant to investment advice (e.g., liability-aware strategies).

  • Personal risk insurance advice.

What we generally do not provide (unless specifically agreed in writing):

  • Tax or legal advice (we may comment at a high level and recommend independent advice).

  • Discretionary investment management services (DIMS), all recommendations must be approved by client.

Product universe and limitations

We operate an approved product list and research framework. Our advice typically focuses on products, platforms and managers we have researched and approved. If a requested product sits outside our approved list, we will carry out risk research and rate the product within our framework, and explain implications and any additional steps or limitations before proceeding.

Our Duties to You

We, and anyone who gives advice on our behalf, must:

  • Give priority to retail clients’ interests.

  • Exercise care, diligence and skill.

  • Ensure advice is suitable for the agreed scope and your circumstances.

  • Comply with the Code of Professional Conduct and all applicable laws and licence conditions.

If you have conduct concerns, you may contact the Financial Markets Authority (FMA).

Fees and Costs

We will confirm fees in writing before you incur them. Depending on the engagement, fees may include:

  • Advice fees: Fixed fees of $2,500 per year for our comprehensive financial planning service, or hourly rates for scoping, analysis, and written advice. Current rates: $350 to $450 per hour depending on experience of advisor. Fixed-fee quotes are provided where possible.

  • Implementation fees: Assistance with account openings, transfers, or execution via platforms/managers may be charged on a fixed or time basis if they are complex, but are usually included in our fixed fees. We will advise you in advance before incurring these costs.

  • Ongoing service fees: Our wealth management service is available to clients with over $350k of investable assets. We charge a fee of 50bps (0.50% per annum) for ongoing wealth management including rebalancing, ongoing investment monitoring, recommendations and advice. This replaces any ongoing financial planning fee should the client be receiving financial planning services as well.

  • Third‑party/platform costs: Product, platform, brokerage, and custody fees are charged by external providers. We use Adminis for our wealth management platform which charges 25bps (0.25%) for providing secure custody and on-demand reporting as well as transactional services. Product and brokerage costs vary from investment to investment and will be disclosed by us and/or the provider prior to investment.

  • Incentives: Staff are remunerated by salary and may receive discretionary profit share bonuses. No incentives are structured to recommend a particular product/provider.
