We are unaware of any material limitations or restrictions on the scope of the financial advice service we provide. If these are identified, we will disclose them to you.

How We Get Paid

We earn our income from either a fee, commissions from providers, or a combination.

Conflicts of Interest and Incentives

When we arrange insurance for you, the provider(s) ­may pay us a commission. The amount of the commission varies between providers and products and is based on a percentage of the premium.

If we arrange insurance for you and you cancel it part way through the insurance period, we may keep some or all of the commission from any refund due to you by the provider.

PSCCLNZ retain a percentage of this commission for their professional services to AFL Partners.

If a person or entity has referred you to us, we may pay them a percentage of the commission and/or fees we receive for their referral.

A Financial Adviser may have a conflict of interest when financial advice has been provided to two clients who later have a dispute. If this occurs, the financial adviser will disclose the conflict of interest to you and refer one client to another financial adviser for advice and assistance.

To ensure that our Financial Advisers prioritise your interests above their own, we follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are based on the information you have provided and your unique circumstances.

Think Ahead

We maintain a register of conflicts of interest, gifts, and any other incentives we may receive.

If we believe there is a conflict of interest – real or perceived – we will discuss this with you.

PSCCLNZ and AFL Partners also undertake annual internal reviews to ensure compliance with these statements.

Please refer to our Internal Complaints Process, which can be found here
