Nature and Scope of our Advice
Our Adviser network provides advice primarily on Risk Insurance Products.

We provide personal advice that considers your goals, needs and/or financial circumstances. This can be scoped to consider one or many different areas including but not limited to wealth protection, budgeting, successionand retirement planning.

Types of Personal Risk Products

Types of Business Risk Products

For Risk Insurances we workwith 6 companies –AIA, Asteron, AMP/AXA, Cigna, Fidelity Life, and PartnersLife

For Health Insurance we work with 5 companies –Accuro, AIA, PartnersLife, NIB,Southern Crossand UniMed(for Groups only).

What this means:
Your financial adviser will work closely with you to understand your current situation, your appetite for risk and your financial goals. Based on the information you provide the Adviser, they will develop a tailor made financial plan (Statement of Advice) detailing recommendations (including advantages and pitfalls) and a strategy so the steps to your goals are clearly outlined.

In providing you with financial advice, we will only consider existing term life, trauma, income protection and health insurance policies (if any). We will not provide advice on existing Whole of Life or Endowment products so you will need to consult a specialist if you would like advice on those products.

Group and Employee Benefits
Group and Employee Benefit protection is acollective approachimplemented by Businesses to protect either key people and/or provide insurances for their staff as an employee benefit.

Kiwi Saver
Kiwi Saver is a voluntary savings scheme that was set up by the Government. Our Adviser Team can guide you with choosing a Kiwi Saver provider, however they cannot provide advice on suggested Investment contribution percentages or which fund category is best for you-for example Conservative / Balanced / Aggressive. Kiwi Saver is not guaranteed by the Government. This means you make your investment choices in a Kiwi Saver scheme at your own risk.

For Kiwi Saverwe work with four providers – Generate, Booster, NZ Funds, and Fisher Funds

Remuneration
We are remunerated by a percentage of commissionsor fixed fee from Insurance and Kiwi Saver Providers. We also receive a percentage of trail commissions earned on renewed Risk policies and fixed fee on KiwiSaver.

We do not have any performance quotas with any insurance companies or product providers

How our remuneration may vary
All income is received by MTGL and may vary for many reasons, including overall new business levels generated, market/consumer confidence or satisfaction, amendments to commission terms and structures by product providers or other parties, impact of competition or economic conditions on existing clients/business levels.

Currently, an approximate breakdown is as follows:

As a member of NZFSG our Risk Business only is consolidated with other Brokerages within NZFSG and an over-ride is paid to them. Other than that, MTGLhas no preferential terms (other than those readily offered to other market participants) or production performance agreements with any particular provider.

Fees and Expenses
MTGL does not charge fees, expenses or any such amount for the financial advice provided by our Advisers to our clients.

Conflicts of Interest that may arise
MTGL receives commissions from the providers on whose products our Advisers give financial advice. This commission is split between the business and the Adviser. These commissions vary from provider to provider. If you decide to take out insurance or take our Kiwi Saver advice, the commissions paid will be determined by the amount of premium or the Kiwi Saver balance.

We also maintain a soft dollar (Gift) register where all incidentals received from time to time by Product/Insurance Providers bythe way of bottles of wine, tickets to events, hampersetc. are recorded, of which the values are relatively insignificant.We mitigate the potential for conflicts of interest to arise by:

• Avoiding any production requirements or quotas for any one Product Provider
• Having access to a range of insurance product providers
• Our Advisers have the freedom to choose a preferred product provider based on regular due diligence and client suitability
• Providing our Advisers with Research Tools to determine which Product Provider best meets the needs of their client
• Regularly reviewing our relationship with Product Providers
• Being transparent with our dealings with our Clients and Product Providers
• Provision of training for our Advisers around managing Conflicts of Interest

MTGL maintains registers of Gifts and Conflicts of Interest. These Registers are monitored to identify if further training is required.
