How we Operate.
Our Enrich financial advisers prioritize clients interests above their own. We follow an industry recognised professional advice process, to ensure recommendations are made on the basis of our clients needs and requirements.
Reliability History.
We have not been subject to a reliability event. A reliability event is something that might materially influence you in deciding whether to seek financial advice from us. As an example, it would include a successful regulatory action against us relating to the financial services we provide.
Fees and Other Charges.
The nature and total amount of any fees that you will be charged for advice and/or services and when and how they must be paid, will be disclosed to our clients by the relevant financial adviser.
Enrich may be remunerated for the implementation of, and retention of, dome financial products such as insurances or mortgages by the product provider. In many cases an upfront planning or advice fee is not required. Ongoing adviser fees for investment products and KiwiSaver plans are most often paid for through the product provider.
Planning and Advice Fees.
- We may charge a fee for preparing Personal or Business Insurance or Investment plans, up to a maximum of $4,000 +GST.
- We will agree the amount or basis of the calculation of any fee payable upfront and confirm the amount in our scope of engagement.
- We ask that you pay or reimburse us for all charges or fees in relation to services provided as outlined in the invoice/s provided to you within 14 days.
- Where we have not charged a planning or advice fee in advance of advice and you have applied for a financial product but have not subsequently accepted the product offered, assuming the terms are reasonable, or if you fail to complete the application process through no fault of the product provider or Enrich, or if you cancel the financial product within 24 months of its start date, we reserve the right to charge you a planning fee of between $150 and $350 per hour +GST depending on which Enrich adviser/s you used (this is based on our time relating to the advice and implementation process for that product) up to a maximum of $4,000 +GST.
- For any insurance product that we must refund some or all of any commission received, you are required to pay a fee equal to the amount of the clawback within 14 days of Enrich providing you such notification.
- In the case of a mortgage product arranged through Enrich, where a client moves or pays off some or all of the loan within 36 months, most lenders claw back a proportion of the commission initially paid to Enrich, and we will require you to repay the amount of that clawback, within 14 days of Enrich providing you such notification.
Consultancy Fees.
- Where one of our Advisers is working on a consultancy basis, (generally where no financial product will be purchased as part of the advice or if any commission payable for such a product is too low to adequately compensate Enrich for its advisers time), Enrich will charge you an hourly rate of between $150 and $350 +GST.
- A minimum of five hours (or a maximum of $1,500 +GST) should be allowed for consultancy arrangements, to cover any meeting/s, set up and research, resulting documentation and report writing/file notes.
- Enrich will confirm the amount or basis for calculation of any fee payable upfront and confirm the amount in our scope of engagement if the fee for consultancy will be more than $1,500 +GST.
Commission for Insurance Products.
- Typically for insurance we are remunerated by receiving commission directly from the product providers.
- Once we understand your needs and requirements, we will provide specific information in relation to the policy or policies recommended for you, and also the remuneration we may receive as a result of you agreeing to our recommendations and implementing the advice.
- Typical Guidelines:
Type of Commission: | Typical Range: |
Upfront Commission (once implemented) | 30%-230% of the first years premium |
Ongoing Commission | 5%-50% of subsequent years premium |
Example: Should you agree to implement a policy with an annual premium of $1,000, Enrich may receive between $300-$2,300 in the first year, and $50-$500 in subsequent years.
Commission for Mortgage Products.
- Mortgage Lenders usually pay Enrich commission of between 0.60% – 0.85% of the mortgage arranged, and trail commission after 12 months of up to 0.20% per annum of the reduced principal owing. For complex arrangements we reserve the right to charge you an additional fee, which would be transparently and completely disclosed and discussed with you.
Example: If you agree to implement a mortgage recommendation Enrich has provided you with of $500,000, Enrich would receive between $3,000 and $4,250 upon draw down of your mortgage, with up to $1,000 per annum in subsequent years. If your Enrich adviser will receive a percentage of this commission, it will be disclosed to you directly upfront.
KiwiSaver, Superannuation Plans and Investment Products.
- Typically KiwiSaver and superannuation providers, along with Investment Fund Managers pay Enrich a monthly (sometimes quarterly) adviser fee or trail commission (all disclosed at the time of recommendations being provided to you) of between 0.20% and 1.05% per annum based on the funds invested. Some KiwiSaver providers also pay an upfront referral fee of up to $300.
- Ongoing Services Fee – Between 0.00 – 0.75% depending on Investment type and Provider.
- Enrich may charge an upfront implementation fee of 0.75% – 3.00% of the amount invested for superannuation plans and investment products. We reserve the right to charge a 1.00% exit fee on a total funds withdrawal if you have invested on a particular retail platform.
- Clawback – where you exit an investment or KiwiSaver product implemented by Enrich within a certain time frame (usually 24 months), the provider may recover commissions initially paid to Enrich. We reserve the right to recover this amount from you as the instigator of the commission payment, and if so will invoice you accordingly.
Example: if you have a KiwiSaver plan with a fund value of $50,000 and where we are the noted Financial Adviser, our ongoing adviser fee may be between $8 and $21 per month.
Enrich has two types of Financial Advisers.
Salaried Advisers – These advisers are paid a salary with the possibility of annual bonuses based on their performance.
Contracted Advisers – These advisers receive a percentage of the commission that is paid to Enrich for work completed by them.
Commissions and Conflicts of Interest.
Enrich will receive a commission and/or benefit from insurance providers whose policies our customers choose to take up.
All our Financial Advisers undergo annual training about how to manage conflicts of interest. Enrich reviews its compliance programme annually to ensure our high standards of client service are being followed, when legislative changes are made or when processes evolve.
To ensure our Financial Advisers prioritize our clients’ interests above their own, we follow an advice process that ensures any financial advice we provide is suitable for the circumstances in which it is given, recognizing the very limited nature and scope of the advice provided.
