Fees and Charges

We do not charge for an initial meeting.

 

We charge a financial planning fee to cover the time and research required to prepare your comprehensive Financial Plan which will help you ensure that you are focused on your most important objectives and the step required to successfully achieve these. We will discuss this fee with you and seek your consent before we continue.

 

In your Financial Plan we detail our recommended solutions and any ongoing fees so that you may make an informed choice as to whether to continue with our services.

 

Our ongoing fees are charged monthly in arrears and deducted from your portfolio. Ongoing adviser fees for KiwiSaver are paid to us from our recommended KiwiSaver providers and included as part of their KiwiSaver management fee.

 

For one-off advice, research or consultancy requirements, we will discuss and agree an hourly or fixed charge with you prior to commencing any work.
