The distribution of this Website Disclosure Information is authorised by the Licensee.
Purpose of the Website Disclosure Information
This Website Disclosure Information sets out key information about the financial services we may provide to you. It also sets out information about your rights with respect to the financial services we provide.
We strongly recommend that you read and understand this Website Disclosure Information before you engage us to provide you with any financial services. If you have any questions, please contact us.
Financial services we are authorised to provide
The Licensee has authorised us to provide the following financial services:
- provide financial product advice on self-managed superannuation funds (“SMSF”).
- provide financial product advice on your existing superannuation products, but only to the extent required for:
- making a recommendation that you establish a SMSF; or
- providing advice to you on contributions or pensions under a superannuation product.
- deal (issue, acquire, dispose) or arrange to deal in a SMSF.
- provide class of product advice with respect to:
- superannuation products;
- general insurance products;
- securities;
- simple managed investment schemes;
- life risk insurance products; and
- basic deposit products.
Class of product advice allows us to consider your personal circumstances in determining the appropriate class of financial product that is suitable to you. However it does not allow us to recommend any particular financial product.
AT Business Advisors is an authorised representative that is a partnership. Any personal advice will be provided by AT Business Advisors and its advisers Gregory Thomas Adams and Judith Anne Constantine (who are sub-authorised by AT Business Advisors and provide advice on behalf of the Licensee). More details about them, including the personal advice they are authorised to provide, is included in the Adviser Profile section.
How can you provide us with instructions?
You can give us instructions by phone, email or any other means that we agree with you from time to time. Please see our engagement letter for further information on this.
Who does the Licensee act for?
As authorised representatives, we provide financial services on behalf of the Licensee. In providing those financial services, the Licensee acts on its own behalf. The Licensee is independent, and is not aligned with any product issuer or re-seller.
Fees and charges
Initial
AT Business Advisors will charge you a fee for the financial services we provide to you. That fee may either be a fixed fee or based on the amount of hours it takes us to prepare and provide you with the financial services. These fees will be included in the statement of advice (“SOA”) which will be provided to you.
We do not receive any commissions from product issuers or re-sellers.
Ongoing
If you enter into any ongoing service arrangement with us, AT Business Advisors will charge you a yearly fee. This will be disclosed in any SOA or record of advice (“ROA”) we provide.
Accounting
AT Business Advisors may charge you additional fees, which arise as a result of the implementation of any advice we provide you. For example, audit or compliance fees in relation to the SMSF that is established. These fees are not related to the financial services we provide you, and will be set out in the engagement letter you enter into with AT Business Advisors.
Please contact us if you require any further information about how we are remunerated.
Documents you may receive
If we provide you with financial advice, we will provide that advice to you in a SOA. The SOA will contain our advice, the basis upon which we provide the advice and specific information about the remuneration we receive.
In some circumstances, we may also record our advice through preparing a ROA instead of providing you with a SOA. If you have not been provided with the ROA, you may request a copy of it free of charge at any time within 7 years after the advice was provided to you, by contacting us.
If we provide you with advice to establish a SMSF or commence a pension or arrange for those services to be provided to you, we will ensure that you are provided with a product disclosure statement (“PDS”) unless we are satisfied that you have already received or have access to all of the information that would have been contained in the PDS. The PDS is issued by the SMSF trustee and is designed to provide you with information to make an informed decision about whether to acquire an interest in the SMSF. The PDS will include details about the significant risks and benefits, costs, charges and other significant characteristics or features of the SMSF.
If you enter into an ongoing arrangement with us, you will receive a fee disclosure statement each year and a renewal notice every two years.
Associations
We are required to disclose any associations or relationships between us, our related entities, the Licensee and product issuers that could reasonably be capable of influencing the financial services we provide to you. No such associations or relationships exist.
