Great. So, in the interest of full transparency and a FAPs own disclosure requirements mandated by the FMA how much money is NZFSG receiving from an insurance policy written by Initio when referred by one of its own members? and is this disclosed to the customer, does the customer know who is receiving commission and what the split is ? I think not.
Also when an aggregator offers an insurance referral scheme to their members the adviser is now cut out from having a direct relationship with the insurer themselves. Plus when the adviser changes group they can't take their commission with them and I bet the Commision is kept by the G .
