- How we can be contacted
- What services we are authorised to provide
- How we (and any other relevant parties) are remunerated,

|
Who do you act for when you provide financial services to me? |
Capital Creation, who holds an Australian Financial Services Licence |
How will I pay for the service? |
Clients of Capital Creation are able to pay for their services via a range of options.
These options revolve around commissions or fees, or a combination of the two.
Your adviser will explain these options to you in more detail.
|
How is my adviser paid for the services they provide? |
Total remuneration is based on the fees and commissions your adviser is able to generate through their activities as an adviser.
Advisers are required to keep a Register of Alternative Remuneration which shows any payment other than cash which may be received by them from fund managers / product providers. This register is available for inspection with 7 days' notice.
|
Do you receive remuneration, commission, fees or other benefit in relation to providing the financial services to me and how is that commission calculated? |
Portfolio Management Service
The Portfolio Management Services has an initial and ongoing fee structure.
The initial fee for the services is a flat fee calculated on the amount of funds invested and is between 0.5% and 1%. Additionally, there is an ongoing management fee of 1.5% paid monthly in arrears, which is calculated based on the highest monthly balance of the portfolio for the month.
Fees are payable after we provide the service.
GST fees apply in addition to the above fees.
This means that on an investment of $10,000 the initial fee will vary between $50 and $100 with an ongoing annual fee total of $150, paid in 12 monthly payments.
Managed Funds
We receive between 0% and 4% commissions from fund managers and other product issuers whose products we recommend to you.
Some companies also pay us an ongoing commission.
These trail commissions will be calculated on the basis of the funds invested. They will be deducted from the funds you have given the fund manager. These trail commissions range from 0.25 - .5% per annum.
This means that on an investment of $10,000 the initial fee will vary between $0 and $400 and ongoing fees would vary between $25 and $50 pa.
Shares
Our Brokerage comes from the share broker. Brokerage is charged at a standard rate of 0.75%. This brokerage is split between our Share Broker (CMC Markets) and Capital Creation. CMC receives the first $20 of the transaction and Capital Creation receives the balance.
On a sale of $10,000 the broker would receive $20 and Capital Creation would receive $55.
Insurance Products
Our commission comes from the product provider. Commission is charged between 0% - 30% depending on whether it is fully upfront or on an ongoing basis.
If you purchase an insurance product with a premium of $1,000 Capital Creation could receive an upfront commission up to $1,300 along with ongoing commission of up to $300.
The fee is a bi-product of the manner in which insurance products are retailed and it is not in addition to your annual premium.
|
Are there any associates or related parties that may receive any payment as a result of the advice I receive? |
Capital Creation is owned by Salmon Investments Pty Ltd ABN 79 065 426 682.
|
Do any relationships or Associations exist which might influence you in providing me with the financial services? |
No. |
