Conflicts of interest
McKenzie Enterprises Ltd has an agreement for services with Ignite 2018 Limited (Ignite), a service company that does not provide financial advice. Ignite has a preferred investment provider agreement with Fisher Funds Management Limited (Fisher Funds) relating to investments placed with Fisher Funds by Ignite member clients.
Please also note McKenzie Enterprises Ltd is a shareholder in Ignite 2018 Limited and as such may receive dividends for its shareholding.
Under the agreements mentioned above, Ignite receives a fee equal to a small percentage of the investments placed with Fisher Funds. No portion of any such fee is paid to McKenzie Enterprises Ltd or its advisers, and we aren’t under any obligation to place any particular level of business with Fisher Funds, but McKenzie Enterprises Ltd indirectly benefits from those fees through the Ignite member services they help fund.
We manage the resulting conflict of interest by ensuring our advisers only recommend Fisher Funds investment products where the adviser is satisfied that those products provide the best outcome for our clients, when compared with any other product we are able to recommend, having regard to the nature and scope of the service agreed with the client.
McKenzie Enterprises Ltd and our financial advisers may receive a a trail (ongoing) fee from the providers on whose products we give financial advice (managed funds & KiwiSaver providers). If you decide to take our KiwiSaver advice, the KiwiSaver provider may pay a commission to McKenzie Enterprises Ltd. The amount of commission is based on the KiwiSaver balance. 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, McKenzie Enterprises Ltd adviser follows an advice process that ensures personalised recommendations are made on the basis of the client’s goals and circumstances, as advised by the client. McKenzie Enterprises Ltd financial advisers completes regular training, including how to manage conflicts of interest.
