Tax and Fees

Tax and Fees

We have been in advising for 30 years, because we add value

Other than Plan and Placement costs, fees are generally tax deductible, and so are discounted by your tax rate.

We have access to a wide range of investment solutions. If it is liquid, tradable and can be hosted on leading third-party custodial platform, we can use it. We have no other constraints. Our preference is for listed investments, and our range is global.

 

We can review KiwiSaver Investments, their performance and alignment to your needs.

Plans & Placement Fees

We are 100% fee-based and we receive no income from any third party. We have no conflicts of interest.
