FURTHER INFORMATION WHEN PERSONAL ADVICE IS GIVEN (* RETAIL CLIENTS ONLY)

The PDS or short-form PDS will contain information about the particular policy, which will enable you to make an informed decision about purchasing that product.

Will I receive tailored advice?

Typically, we only provide General Advice to *Retail Clients. However, we may need information about your personal objectives, details of your current financial situation and any relevant information, so that we can arrange insurance policies for you, or to give you advice about your insurance needs. We will ask you for the details that we need to know.

In some cases, we will not ask for any of this information. If we do not ask, or if you do not give us all of the information we ask for, any advice you receive may not be appropriate to your needs, objectives and financial situation. You should read the warnings contained in any SOA, or any other warnings that we give you, carefully before making any decision about an insurance policy.

Where we provide you with advice about your insurance arrangements, that advice is current at the time that we give it. At renewal we may review your insurance however, in some cases we may automatically renew your insurance to ensure you continue to be covered. This renewal will not take into account any changes to your current financial situation or personal objectives or needs that you have not informed us of.

How will I pay for the services provided?

For each insurance product, the insurer will charge a premium plus any relevant taxes, charges and levies. Sage Partners Licensee often receive a payment based on a percentage of this premium (excluding relevant taxes, charges and levies) called commission, which is paid to Us by the insurers. In some cases, we will also charge a fee. If you are a Retail Client these amounts will be shown on the invoice we send you.

You can choose to pay for our services by any of the payment methods set out in the invoice. You are required to pay us within the time set out on the invoice.

If there is a refund or reduction of your premium as a result of a cancellation or alteration to a policy or based on a term of your policy (such as a premium adjustment provision), we will retain any fee we have charged you. Depending on our arrangements with the insurer, we may also retain commission that was paid to us by the insurer for the policy. We may also charge you a cancellation fee.

Non-payment of premium within applicable time frames could result in the insurer cancelling the contract of insurance or charging a penalty premium for time on risk.

When you pay us your premium it will be banked into Sage Partners Licensee’s trust account. Sage Partners Licensee will retain the commission from the premium you pay us and remit the balance to the insurer in accordance with our arrangements with the insurer. We will earn interest on the premium while it is in Sage Partners Licensee’s trust account or We may invest the premium and earn a return. We will retain any interest or return on investment earned on the premium.

If you require assistance from us with a claim which requires an unexpected and significant amount of time or expertise, we reserve the right to make an additional charge for it. Any charges will be agreed with you before we provide the services so you always know how much you will be required to pay.

How are any commissions, fees or other benefits calculated for providing the financial services?

Our commission will be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Y% x P

In this formula:

X = Our commission

Y% = the percentage commission paid to Us by the insurer. Our commission varies between 0% and 30%

P = the amount you pay for any insurance policy (less any government fees or charges included in that amount).

We may also charge you a broker fee in addition to commission when you enter into an insurance policy. The amount of the fee will depend on a number of factors including the complexity of the services we are providing. The amount of any broker fee charged will be shown on your invoice.

Our employees that will assist you with your insurance needs will be paid a market salary and may also receive bonuses based on company performance and criteria established by Us.

Sage Insurance Pty Ltd receives 0% to 100% of the commission and fees Sage Partners Licensee receives on policies it arranges as Sage Partners Licensee’s Authorised Representative. Its directors and employees are paid a salary and may receive bonuses based on company performance.

Sage Partners Licensee may pay commissions, fees or benefits to others who refer you to us or refer us to an insurer.

Where a third party has referred you to us, such as an authorised referrer or product distributor of Sage Partners Licensee, We may share part of our fees and/or commission with them or pay an agreed rate as a percentage of the total income derived from your policy. If we do, we will pay commissions, referral payments or benefits to those people out of Our commission and/or fees, usually in the range of 0% to 70% of our commission or fees.

If you are a *Retail Client and we give you Personal Advice, we will inform you of any fees, commission or other payments we, our associates or anyone referring you to us (or us to any insurer) will receive in relation to the policies that are the subject of the advice.

Do we receive nonmonetary benefits for providing the financial service?

While providing services to you, we may receive non-monetary remuneration from insurers, underwriting agencies and third parties. This can include access to technology platforms and IT support, education and training, event sponsorship and marketing assistance. We do not accept non-monetary remuneration if this could reasonably be expected to influence the services that we provide to you.

It is our policy that gifts or gratuities may be accepted only if they are of an incidental nature. These amounts are not additional costs to you. In all business, conflicts of interest sometimes arise. Where there are potential or actual conflicts of interest in Our remuneration arrangements, or otherwise in Our dealings with clients as a result of Our relationships with related or third parties, they are managed in accordance with Our Conflicts of Interest Policy.

The licensee and premium funding companies

If we arrange premium funding for you with a premium funder, We may be paid a commission by the premium funder. We may also charge you a fee (or both). The commission that we are paid by the premium funder is usually calculated as a percentage of your insurance invoice (including government fees or charges). If you instruct us to arrange premium funding for you, this is when we become entitled to the commission. Commission rates for premium funding are usually in the range of 0% to 3% of funded premium. When we arrange premium funding for you, you can ask us what commission rate we are paid for that funding arrangement compared to the other arrangements that were available to you.
