Fees and Expenses
Generally, DebtFreeDiva doesn't charge fees or expenses of any kind for the financial advice provided to our clients. This is possible because on settlement of a loan, or KiwiSaver funds under management, we usually receive commission from the lender or provider.
But, there are exceptions (explained below) and your adviser will let you know if any of these will apply to you.
The actual fee charged to you will depend on the nature and scope of the advice or service we provide. We will discuss and agree the actual fees with you before we proceed and explain how they are payable. The following section outlines the types of fees that may apply.
For services in relation to KiwiSaver and loan products, commissions may be paid by the product provider as follows:
Initial commission - a percentage of the value of your lending amount or investment contributions, and
Ongoing commission - a percentage of the value of lending amount or your investment balance, usually calculated at the end of each month in which you hold the investment or on renewal of insurance/lending products
Other costs
Occasionaly we will charge for our other services such as budgeting advice but we will always advise you of these charges prior to the service being carried out
Conflicts of interest and Incentives
DebtFreeDiva Limited and our financial advisers receive commissions from the providers on whose products we give financial advice (banks, lenders and KiwiSaver providers).
If you decide to take out a mortgage, or to take our KiwiSaver advice, the provider will pay a commission to DebtFreeDiva Limited and to your financial adviser. The amount of commission is based on the amount of the mortgage, or the KiwiSaver balance.
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.
DebtFreeDiva Limited monitors these registers and provides additional training where necessary. DebtFreeDiva Limited performs an annual review of our compliance programme.
