Conflicts of interest and commissions
​
Our financial advisers are employees of Diamond Property & Wealth and receive salary as their remuneration.
​
Diamond Property and Wealth is paid in the form of referral fee from property developers through which we place business. The amount of the fees we receive depends on the property and the relationship with each developer. Typically, we receive between $15,000 and $20,000 when the client declares the sale and purchase agreement on the property unconditional.
​
Some fund managers and KiwiSaver providers may pay us a commission for business placed with them. Where we receive a commission from a provider, this may reduce the fee you are required to pay directly.
Any commissions or referral arrangements will be fully disclosed to you before proceeding. We are committed to acting in your best interests at all times and base our recommendations on what’s most appropriate for your circumstances.
​
To ensure we prioritise our clients’ interests:
​
• We follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are made appropriately, based on clients’ goals and circumstances.
• We undergo annual training about how to manage conflicts of interest.
• We maintain registers of conflicts of interests and the gifts and incentives we receive. These registers are monitored regularly, and additional training is provided as required.
• We undertake an annual independent Compliance Assurance Review by Strategi.
• We recommend investment options based on its valid merits that are supported by facts and research, not the amount of the referral fee that Diamond Property & Wealth receives.
• Our clients are never under an obligation to purchase any of the properties we recommend or go ahead with investment recommendations.
