- Harbour Asset Management Limited
- Evidential Investment Funds Scheme
- iShares (BlackRock Advisers (UK) Limited

Our fees
The actual fee charged to you will depend on the nature and scope of the advice or service we provide. We will discuss and agree the actual fees with you before we proceed to explain how they are payable.
The following section outlines the types of fees that may apply:
Our agreed advice and service fees may include charges for initial advice and ongoing advice and services.
There is a one-off fee to develop a personalised Investment Plan that can range between $1,000 to $4,000 plus GST, depending on the complexity involved. This planning fee may at times be waivered if an investment portfolio is subsequently established with Tailorednz (subject to minimum investment amounts).
If a portfolio is established in the Tailorednz DIMS portfolio service after the Investment Plan is prepared an ongoing percentage-based fee on the value of your investment balance will apply.
Investments held in the FNZ Custodians Limited wrap platform are also subject to fees. These fees will be confirmed in the Investment Plan we will provide to you.
For services in relation to KiwiSaver products commissions may be paid by the product provider as follows:
- Ongoing commission – a percentage of the value of your KiwiSaver investment balance.
We will provide you with more specific details of these commissions when we have more information about your needs and personal circumstances.
Conflict of interest
Your interests are our priority although we do have business relationships with some product providers who pay us commission if you invest in certain KiwiSaver Schemes. To manage this potential conflict, we utilise independent research companies to help conduct our analysis and ensure we recommend the best products/solutions available to you and disclose the commission that would be paid.
In some circumstances we may recommend an investment in the Tailorednz DIMS portfolio service. To manage this potential conflict, we will only recommend this if it is suitable for you. We use the research provided by the Consilium Investment Committee to develop these portfolios, fees are transparent and you have full access to view your investments at any time.
Our business is partially owned by the shareholders of Naylor Lawrence & Associates Limited, and Stretail Limited (related party of Stretton & Co Limited). The Directors of each of these businesses may, indirectly, benefit when clients of their accounting businesses are referred to Tailorednz Limited to receive financial advice services. Tailorednz Limited does not pay any referral fee or commission to either businesses, if a referral is made.
We manage these potential conflicts of interest by ensuring that we prioritise your interests above our own. The advice we provide is based on understanding your goals and circumstances and providing recommendations which are based on research and evidence. Our business maintains a Conflict of Interest Register which allows us to actively manage any conflicts which arise. Our business does not accept any non-monetary benefits. A gift register is maintained to keep a record of the gifts received and the date which they are returned to the provider. All of our financial advisers undergo annual training about how to manage conflicts of interest. We undertake an annual independent Compliance Assurance Review from a reputable third-party provider.
