We provide practical, personalised, and easy to understand financial advice. We do this through getting to know you and
understanding your wants and needs. We then work to implement that advice and provide continued and ongoing support. We are in the relationship game and aim to be a part of your financial journey now and well into the future.
The Money Men provides regulated financial advice in the following areas.
We also provide general financial advice in the following areas
We provide financial advice to clients about their Life and Health Insurance, Mortgages, and KiwiSaver. We only provide financial advice on products from certain providers.
For mortgages we work with:
ANZ, ASB, BNZ, Sovereign, Westpac, Resimac, Pepper Money, Avanti
For insurance we work with:
AIA, Chubb Life, Partners Life, Nib, Fidelity Life, Asteron Life
For KiwiSaver we work with:
Booster, Generate, NZ Funds, Milford, Pathfinder
We also work with and refer to the following companies
Cactus Insurance, Kernel Wealth, Oxford Finance
We are able to provide you with Insurance, Mortgage and KiwiSaver advice on the products available with the product providers just mentioned. In providing you with financial advice, we will only consider existing term life products. We will not provide advice on existing whole of life or endowment products, so you would need to consult a specialist if you would like advice on those products.
The nature of our advice is limited as outlined above. We will not provide you with financial advice on products outside of our scope of experience or qualification. If we feel as though we are limited in the advice or support we can provide to you, and that you would benefit from speaking to, or working with any other professionals or advisers we will let you know and happily refer you on.
Zilch…. Neither The Money Men nor our advisers have been subject to a reliability event. A reliability event is something that might materially influence you in deciding whether to seek advice from me or from The Money Men. As an example, it would include legal proceedings against us, or if our directors or senior managers had been discharged from bankruptcy in the last four years. We have also not been subject to any disciplinary action, client disputes resolutions or negligence claims.
If you take out an Insurance policy, Mortgage or join a KiwiSaver provider following our advice, The Money Men will be paid a commission from the applicable product provider (Lender, Insurance company etc).
A portion of the commission is retained by The Money Men to cover business expenses and overheads, the wages of our incredible team and so on. A portion is then paid to our advisers as income.
From time to time, product providers may also reward us for the overall business we provide to them. They may give us tickets to events, hampers or take us out for lunch.
We also have referring relationships with other companies; at times this can see us getting paid a referral fee from those businesses. This is either a flat fee or commission percentage. Any referrals will be made only upon your request and any incentives for the referral will be disclosed to you.
A few of the services we provide are fee based as we do not receive commission from a third party for the work that we do. This includes:
Any fees will be discussed clearly with you and agreed in writing before undertaking any work on your behalf. Outside of this, The Money Men does NOT charge any fees for the advice we provide.
The Money Men and all of its adviser’s prioritise our clients’ interests above their own, we follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are made on the basis of our client’s goals and circumstances. All our financial advisers undergo regular training about how to manage conflicts of interests, and the gifts and incentives we receive.
We have regular internal audits to ensure the advice we provide is quality, compliant and aligns with our company values. The Money Men also undertake a compliance audit, and a review of our compliance programme is undertaken annually by a reputable compliance adviser.
Above all of this, giving priority to our clients’ interests is at the core of what we do, we have been in this game long enough to know that long-term relationships and doing a great job pay dividends. We don’t want a transactional relationship; we want to work with you for a very long time, and hopefully your friends and family.
