PCL and/or its advisers receive commissions from the providers on whose products we it gives financial advice about.

For example, usually If you decide to take out insurance or a home loan, or to join a scheme with the help of PCL, PCL may receive commission. The amount of commission can be based on the amount of the premium or home loan, or the KiwiSaver balance.

 

From time to time, product providers may also provide PCL other matters. This could include but not limited to: a coffee, meal, drink, training, education programmes, stationery, pens, gift, events, or other incentives.

 

To help that PCL prioritise the client’s interests above their own, PCL looks to operate in a manner that means it is typically influenced by conflicts of interest. PCL has a register of what it defines as substantial gifts/incentives. The director of PCL also reads about conflict of interests from time to time and information around this.
