Not Independent 

We do not charge you a fee for our advice on risk insurance policies as we are paid a commission by the product provider. Our advice on risk insurance is therefore not independent, impartial or unbiased. In all other cases, we charge a fee for our advice services and do not receive commissions or other payments from product providers. 

Our services 

We are authorised to provide advice and dealing services in the following areas: 

  • Superannuation and SMSF 

  • Retirement planning 

  • Portfolio Management 

  • Managed investments 

  • Securities (direct shares) 

  • Personal risk insurance 

  • Margin lending 

The 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 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. 

We will provide you with a Product Disclosure Statement for any products we recommend other than securities. This contains information to help you understand the product being recommended. 

At all times you are able to contact us and ask questions about our advice and the products we recommend.  

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 which we retain on file. You can request a copy of the RoA document at any time up to 7 years after the advice is provided. 

Fees 

Initial Fee 

The initial fee includes meeting with you, the time we take to determine our advice and the production of the SoA. It is based on the scope and complexity of advice provided to you. We will agree the fee with you before providing you with advice.  

If you decide to proceed with our advice, we may charge an Implementation fee for the time we spend assisting you with implementation. We will let you know what the fee will be in the SoA.   

Annual Fee 

Our annual fee depends on the services that we provide to you. It may be based on the value of your portfolio or it may be a fixed fee. It is paid monthly. It will be set out in the client agreement we have with you.  

Transaction Fees 

For share trades, we may charge a fee on each transaction. 

Insurance Commissions 

We receive a one-off upfront commission when you take out an insurance policy that we have recommended. We also receive a monthly commission payment for as long as you continue to hold the policy. The commission will vary depending on the recommended product and will be documented in the SoA or RoA. 

Other Benefits 

We may receive other benefits from product providers such as training, meals and entertainment. Details of any benefits received above $100 will be maintained on a register which is available to you on request. 

Adviser Remuneration 

Dion Guagliardo is the owner of the practice. He is paid a salary and shares in the profits of the practice. 

Making a Complaint 

We endeavour to provide you with the best advice and service at all times. If you are not satisfied with our services, then we encourage you to contact us. Please call us, send an email or put your complaint in writing to our office. 

If you are not satisfied with our response, you can refer it to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority. You can contact AFCA on 1800 931 678 or via their website www.afca.org.au. AFCA provides fair and independent financial services complaint resolution which is free to consumers.
