Our financial advice process
We recognise that the objectives and personal circumstances of each client are different.
Where we provide personal advice, we will listen to you to understand your objectives and circumstances. We will also ask questions to make sure we provide advice which is in your best interests.
When we first provide personal advice to you it will be explained thoroughly and documented in a Statement of Advice (SOA) which you can take away and read.
The SOA will explain the basis for our advice, the main risks associated with the advice, the cost to you of implementing the advice, the benefits we receive and any conflicts of interest which may influence the advice.
At all times you are able to contact us and ask questions about our advice and the products we recommend.
For administration platforms, managed funds and personal risk insurance products we will provide you with a Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) or link to the PDS. This contains information to help you understand the product being recommended.
You can provide instructions to us in writing, via phone or via email. In some cases, we may require you to provide signed instructions.
We may provide further advice to you to keep your plan up to date for changes in your circumstances, changes in the law and changes in the economy and products.
If we provide further advice it will be documented in a Record of Advice (ROA) which we retain on file. You can request a copy of the ROA document at any time up to seven years after the advice is provided.
Remuneration and commissions
Remuneration and commissions that are not ascertainable at the time the FSG is given, will be disclosed when personal advice is given. You may request particulars of any remuneration specific to you, after the provision of this FSG, and before any financial services identified herewith in, is provided to you.
All fees and commissions are payable to Parker Wealth Holdings Pty Ltd, are inclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST).
Type of remuneration / Description
Cost
Initial Fees
The Advice Preparation fee includes meeting with you, the time we take to determine our advice and the production and presentation of the SOA. It is based on the scope and complexity of advice provided to you. We will agree this fee with you before providing you with advice and it will be set out in our proposal to you.
The initial and plan-related fees varies depending on the complexity of the advice required. The minimum initial fee is $4,400.
Implementation Fee
If you decide to proceed with our advice, we may charge an Implementation Fee for the time we spend assisting you with implementation.
Where applicable, the implementation fees vary appropriately to the work required to implement the recommendations and advice. These will be agreed with you prior to commencing any work and will be confirmed in the SOA.
Fixed Term Advice and Services Agreement (FTAA) – Adviser Service Fee
Our annual Adviser Service Fee will be commensurate to the level of service that we provide you and the complexity of the advice provided. We will typically charge a fixed fee which is agreed with you at the commencement of each year, however, in certain circumstances, it may be appropriate to charge on a percentage basis of funds under management. The fees can be deducted monthly from your account or paid by invoice half-yearly or annually in advance. You can elect to enter into a 12-month Fixed Term Advice and Services Agreement in order to receive advice services and reviews of your financial plan. Details of the services will be set out in your 12-month Fixed Term Advice and Services Agreement.
We calculate the Adviser Service Fee based on a number of factors, including but not limited to the complexity of our advice, strategic work, funds under management, our range of services to you and how your investments are held and structured. The minimum Adviser Service Fee is $11,000.
Our Adviser Service Fees generally increase each year in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
All Adviser Service Fees, whether fixed or percentage-based, will be discussed, agreed and disclosed in your FTAA and/or SOA.
Placement Fees
Parker Financial Services may receive a one-off stamping fee or placement fees where you invest in some listed investments (eg. Bank-issued hybrids or Initial Public Offerings (IPO’s)).
These fees will be paid by the issuer of the investment and will typically be a set percentage of the investment amount. In most cases we will rebate these payments to you or apply a credit against your agreed advice fee.
Execution Fees
If we arrange implementation of any financial products, on which we have not provided advice, we may charge a fee for carrying out your instructions.
This will be a flat-dollar fee and the fee will be agreed with you prior to implementing your instructions.
Insurance Commission
We may receive insurance commissions and other benefits from some product providers. We may receive a one-off upfront commission when you take out an insurance policy we recommend. We may also receive an ongoing commission payment for as long as you continue to hold the policy.
Commissions or benefits vary depending on the recommended product but will be clearly documented in your FTAA, SOA or ROA.
Commissions are paid to us by the product provider and are not an additional cost to you.
Upfront commissions may be between 0% and 60% of the first year’s annual premium, and then an annual ongoing commission of between 0% and 20% of the annual premium.
For example, an insurance product with an annual premium of $10,000, where the issuer pays an upfront commission of 60%, we would receive $6,000. If the issuer was paying 20% of the annual premium as an ongoing commission for as long as you hold the product, this would equate to $2,000 per annum.
Other Benefits
These fees will be paid by the issuer of the investment and will typically be a set percentage of the investment amount. In most cases we will rebate these payments to you or apply a credit against your agreed advice fee.
This will be a flat-dollar fee and the fee will be agreed with you prior to implementing your instructions.
Upfront commissions may be between 0% and 60% of the first year’s annual premium, and then an annual ongoing commission of between 0% and 20% of the annual premium.
For example, an insurance product with an annual premium of $10,000, where the issuer pays an upfront commission of 60%, we would receive $6,000. If the issuer was paying 20% of the annual premium as an ongoing commission for as long as you hold the product, this would equate to $2,000 per annum.
We may receive other non-monetary benefits from product providers such as training, meals and entertainment. Details of any benefits received between $100 to $300 will be maintained on a register which is available to you on request.
Adviser Remuneration
The directors and owners of the practice are remunerated through the profits that the practice makes.
Authorised Representatives are employees of the practice and are paid a salary. They may also receive a performance bonus which is based on a number of criteria including the profits that the practice makes.
Conflicts of interest
Your financial adviser may recommend investments in shares that they hold or may hold in the future. You will be advised where a conflict of interest may exist and how the conflict will be managed.
