OTHER PRODUCTS
We only provide financial advice about products from the providers listed below:
In providing you with financial advice, we will only consider new and existing term Life, Trauma, Income Protection and Health insurance policies (if any).
We will not provide advice on existing Whole of Life or Endowment products, so you will need to consult a specialist if you would like advice on those products. However, we can act upon your instruction if you require a transaction to be completed.
COMMISSIONS & OTHER INCENTIVES
insuranceBASE and our financial advisers receive commissions from the providers on whose products we give financial advice (insurers, and KiwiSaver providers). If you decide to take out insurance, or to take our KiwiSaver advice, the provider will pay a commission to insuranceBASE and to your financial adviser. The amount of commission is based on the amount of the premium, or the KiwiSaver balance. This information will be provided to you more in detail in the Statement of Advice document.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
From time to time, product providers may also reward us for the overall business we provide to them. They may give us, but not limited to tickets to sports events, hampers, or other incentives.
Jason Hennessey is the sole Director of insuranceBASE.
To ensure that our financial advisers prioritise our clients’ interests above their own, we follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are made based on each client’s goals and circumstances. All our financial advisers undergo annual training about how to manage conflicts of interests. 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 biannually by a professional compliance adviser.
FEES CHARGED
insuranceBASE does not charge fees, expenses or any other amount for any financial advice provided to its clients. The Financial Advice Provider (FAP) receives commissions based on the business you place with the providers we work with
