Important Information.

Licencing information

TMx Ltd (FSP772317) is an authorised body under the Tony Mounce Mortgages Limited’s Financial Advice Provider (FAP) Licence. Tony Mounce Mortgages Limited (FSP451986, trading as TMO) is a FAP licenced and regulated by the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) to provide financial advice services.

Nature and scope of the advice

TMx Ltd provides financial advice to our clients about their life and health insurances. All mortgage enquiries will be referred to Tony Mounce Mortgages Limited our parent company. We only provide financial advice about products from certain providers:

  • For life insurance, we work with five companies – AIA, Asteron, Chubb, Fidelity Life, Partners Life
  • For health insurance, we work with four providers – Accuro, AIA, Nib, Partners Life

In providing you with financial advice, we will only consider term life, trauma, income protection and health insurance, redundancy, group insurance, total permanent disability, and mortgage protection policies (if any). We will not provide advice on whole of life or endowment products, so you will need to consult a specialist if you would like advice on those products.

Fees or expenses

Generally, TMx does not charge clients fees, expenses or any other amount for the financial advice services we provide. However, if your insurance policy is cancelled within 24 months of issue or amendment, and TMx is required to repay some or all of the commission received from the insurer, TMx reserves the right to charge a fee. Whether such a fee may be charged, and how it is calculated, will be confirmed by your adviser.

Conflicts of interest, commissions and other incentives

TMx Limited receives commissions from the relevant insurer if you take out a policy. The amount of the commission depends on the provider and product chosen. The commissions are shared with employed advisers (who are paid a salary and are eligible to receive incentive payments if a certain level of overall performance is achieved based on factors such as good conduct and client care, as well as meeting volume targets) and contracted advisers.  Advisers who hold shares in TMx (directly or indirectly) may receive commissions indirectly in the form of drawings and dividends.

A provider may pay a fee for any referrals for fire and general insurance. From time to time, product providers may also reward us for the overall value of the business we refer to them. They may give us tickets to sports events, hampers, or other incentives.  

To ensure that our financial advisers prioritise our clients’ interests above their own, we follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are made on the basis of each client’s goals and circumstances. All our financial advisers undergo annual training about how to manage conflicts of interest. We maintain registers of conflicts of interests, and the gifts and incentives we receive. TMx monitors these registers and provides additional training where necessary. TMx undertakes compliance audits, and an annual review of our compliance programme is undertaken by a reputable compliance adviser.

 

Duties information

TMx Ltd, and anyone who gives financial advice on our behalf, are bound by duties under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 to:

  • Give priority to your interests
  • Exercise care, diligence, and skill in providing you with advice
  • Meet standards of competence, knowledge and skill set by the Code of Professional Conduct for Financial Advice Services (these are designed to make sure that we have the expertise needed to provide you with advice)
  • Meet standards of ethical behaviour, conduct and client care set by the Code of Professional Conduct for Financial Advice Services (these are designed to make sure we treat you as we should and give you suitable advice).
