Financial services, and in particular financial planning and investment advice has traditionally been an area of complex fee and commission arrangements with from product providers.

Pitcher Partners NSW Investment Services Pty Ltd has a clear commitment to breaking this link by setting one clear and agreed fee for the services that we provide that is not linked to the underlying products recommended. Where commissions or other income are in fact received from product providers these will be offset against the agreed fee unless other arrangement are made.

We are also committed to providing clear information and helping you to understand fees and charges by product providers and other parties that impact your investment, so that the best overall outcome can be sought.

Where investments are recommended we offer wide choice of investment options that include over 350 managed funds and equities listed on the ASX. We also take the simple and clear approach in identifying all administration and other underlying fees in recommended platforms, managed funds and direct investments.

Our commitment to you is to ensure that your financial advisor:

• is qualified to provide expert advice
• maintains their qualifications through continuing education
• receives the tools and technical support to provide professional financial planning advice.
• has access to high quality financial product research
• is monitored and supervised to ensure they comply with the requirements of the law
• delivers a clear and easily understood recommendation
• does not show bias to any particular financial product
• provides clear and transparent details of fees and costs

We have a very clear and discernible approach to the conduct of financial advisory work. Our culture is one of caring for clients and doing everything possible to achieve an end result that is workable for all parties. Our emphasis is on value for both secured and unsecured lenders.
