Conflicts of interest
Plus 4 Financial Services Limited
For life insurance and health insurance, Plus 4 Financial Services Limited and the financial adviser receive commissions from the insurance companies whose policies we can recommend. If you decide to take out insurance that we recommend, the insurer will pay a commission to Plus 4 Financial Services Limited and/or the adviser who provides your advice. The amount of the commission is based on the amount of premium associated with your cover; 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 our financial advisers prioritise the client’s interests above their own and to manage the potential conflicts of interest as disclosed above, all Plus 4 Financial Services Limited advisers follow an advice process that ensures personalised recommendations are made on the basis of the client’s goals and circumstances, as advised by the client. Plus 4 Financial Services Limited advisers complete regular training, including how to manage conflicts of interest. Each adviser has a regular compliance review of their advice process and our compliance programme is reviewed annually by our external compliance adviser.
