Disclosure, Privacy, Terms & Complaints
The important fine print, in one place. If anything here is unclear, ask us — we would rather explain it than have you guess.
Disclosure
Licence information
Lifelong Wealth Limited (FSP 1003662) holds a licence issued by the Financial Markets Authority to provide a financial advice service.
Nature and scope of our financial advice service
Lifelong Wealth provides you with financial advice in relation to KiwiSaver accounts. We only provide advice on KiwiSaver schemes that we have advice arrangements for. We have arrangements with providers of the following KiwiSaver schemes:
- Booster KiwiSaver Scheme
- Pathfinder KiwiSaver Plan
- Generate KiwiSaver Scheme
- Milford KiwiSaver Plan
This list may change from time to time. It is possible that a KiwiSaver scheme that we do not advise on would also suit your needs, or might better suit your needs. We do not give advice on other investment or financial products from any other provider.
Fees
Lifelong Wealth does not charge you a fee to use the service, except where you choose to invest in the Milford KiwiSaver Plan. If you invest in the Milford KiwiSaver Plan, you will be charged an advice fee from Lifelong Wealth of 0.20% per annum. This fee will be deducted from your KiwiSaver balance at the end of each month.
Lifelong Wealth has negotiated for all members in Milford's KiwiSaver Plan (receiving advice and service from Lifelong Wealth) to receive a rebate of 0.20%* per annum. Milford pays this rebate to your KiwiSaver account at the end of each month. This means the effective cost of using Lifelong Wealth with Milford's KiwiSaver Plan is ZERO per annum.
All other providers pay an advice fee directly to Lifelong Wealth of 0.25% per annum. Effectively you will not be charged for advice from a Lifelong Wealth financial adviser. You will also pay management and other fees and expenses out of your KiwiSaver investment. These are explained in the Product Disclosure Statement for your recommended KiwiSaver scheme.
Privacy
What we collect
When you contact us or become a client, we may collect your name, contact details (email, phone, address), date of birth, IRD number, KiwiSaver details and information about your financial situation and goals. We collect only what we need to provide advice and meet our regulatory obligations.
Why we collect it
- To respond to your enquiries and provide financial advice.
- To complete enrolment, transfer or withdrawal applications on your behalf.
- To meet our legal and regulatory obligations, including identity verification and record keeping.
Who we share it with
We share your information only where necessary: with KiwiSaver providers when you instruct us to act for you, with Inland Revenue where required, and with our dispute resolution scheme if you make a complaint. We do not sell your personal information.
