CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Thompson Financial Services Limited (also trading as Super Sure) (TFSL) has an agreement for services with Ignite 2018 Limited (Ignite), a service company that does not provide financial advice. Ignite has a preferred investment provider agreement with Fisher Funds Management Limited (Fisher Funds) relating to investments placed with Fisher Funds by Ignite member clients, and a dealership agreement with NIB NZ Limited (nib) relating to insurance cover provided by nib for Ignite member clients.

Please also note Murray Thompson of TFSL is a shareholder in Ignite 2018 Limited and as such may receive dividends for its shareholding.

Under the agreements mentioned above, Ignite receives a fee equal to a small percentage of the investments placed with Fisher Funds and premiums paid to nib. No portion of any such fee is paid to TFSL or its advisers, and we aren’t under any obligation to place any particular level of business with either Fisher Funds or nib, but TFSL indirectly benefits from those fees through the Ignite member services they help fund.

We manage the resulting conflict of interest by ensuring we only recommend Fisher Funds investment products or nib insurance products where we are satisfied that those products provide the best outcome for our clients, when compared with any other product we are able to recommend, having regard to the nature and scope of the service agreed with the client.

TFSL receives commissions from the providers on whose products we give financial advice (the insurers, KiwiSaver providers etc.). If you decide to take out insurance or to take our KiwiSaver advice, the provider will pay a commission to TFSL and to your financial adviser. The amount of commission is based on the amount of the premium or the KiwiSaver balance. Specific commissions will be advised to you when advice is provided.

From time to time, product providers may also reward us for the overall business we provide to them. They may give us tickets to sports events, hampers, or other incentives.

To ensure that we prioritise the client’s interests above our own and to manage the potential conflicts of interest as disclosed above, TFSL follows an advice process that ensures personalised recommendations are made on the basis of the client’s goals and circumstances, as advised by the client. Your TFSL adviser completes regular training, including how to manage conflicts of interest. Murray Thompson has a regular compliance review of their advice process and our compliance programme is reviewed annually by our compliance adviser.
