From time to time, product providers may also reward us for the overall business we provide to them. They may give us tickets to sports events, hampers, or other incentives.
To ensure that our advice prioritises the clients interests above our own, we follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are made on the basis of the clients goals and circumstances. We review our training to ensure we manage conflicts of interest.
