Conflicts of interest and incentives
Vested and our financial advisers receive commissions from the providers on whose products we give financial advice (insurers and KiwiSaver providers). If you decide to take out insurance or a or to take our KiwiSaver provider, the provider will pay a commission to Vested and to your financial adviser. The amount of commission is based on the amount of the premium, or the KiwiSaver balance. 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 our clients’ interests above their own, we follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are made on the basis of each client’s goals and circumstances.
