Financial Advice –Disclosure 

The information provided in this disclosure document is important 

Licence status and conditions 

O’Hagan Home Loans & Insurances Ltd (FSP187184, trading as O’Hagan Home Loans & Insurances Ltd) holds a licence issued by the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) to provide financial advice. 

 

Nature and scope of the financial advice given 

O’Hagan Home Loans & Insurances Ltd provides advice to our clients about their home loans and personal insurances. 

We provide financial advice about products from a large range of providers including ANZ, ASB Bank, BNZ, Credit Union Central, First Credit Union, General Finance, Heartland, Kiwibank, Liberty, Resimac, SBS, Sovereign, The Co-Operative Bank and Westpac for home loans and mortgages and Accuro, AIA, AMP, Asteron, Fidelity, Partners Life, One Path and Southern Cross for personal insurances. 

Any financial advice provided on our behalf will take account only of the information you have given us about your particular needs, financial situation or goals. 

 

Fees, expenses or other amounts payable for our financial advice 

I will not usually charge a fee for the financial advice I will provide to you but reserve the right to do so. This will be disclosed to you at the time of our recommendation. 

If the financial adviser recommends any insurance policies for you, you will be informed of the costs of the policies. 

 

Conflicts of interest and commissions or other incentives 

O’Hagan Home Loans & Insurances Ltd and the financial adviser receive commissions from the lenders and insurance companies on whose products we give advice. The lenders and insurers usually pay a commission to O’Hagan Home Loans & Insurances Ltd and your financial adviser. The amount of the commission is based on the amount of the loan amount or the premium. 

To ensure that our financial advisers prioritise the client’s interest above their own, we follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are made on the basis of the client’s goals and circumstances. All our financial advisers undergo annual training about how to manage conflicts of interest. We undertake a compliance audit, and a review of our compliance programme annually by a reputable compliance consultancy firm.
