SuperGuide began tracking Australia’s independent financial advisers in 2010. We have always recognised that financial advice can add significant value to an individual or couple’s retirement plans, so long as it is truly independent, free from conflicts, and in the best interests of the clients.
If you would like to be included on SuperGuide’s list of independent financial advisers, please complete and sign a copy of the declaration which can be downloaded by clicking the button below.
Please then fill out your details in the form below and attach your completed declaration.
The issues addressed by the declaration document include your:
- Functional independence from the influence of any product manufacturer;
- Commitment to not receiving conflicted remuneration as defined in Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) Pt 7.7A Div 4;
Appointment to SuperGuide’s list is for a period of 2 years. At the conclusion of that period, re-listing will be subject to a further declaration. Applications may be considered on a continuous basis. There is no application deadline. However, no matter the quality of the application, SuperGuide retains the absolute discretion to consider applications, and to choose to list or remove advisers from the list.
If SuperGuide forms the view that, in connection with an adviser’s participation in the SuperGuide list, an adviser has made false or misleading statements in his or her undertakings or subsequently conducts him or herself in a way that is inconsistent with those undertakings, SuperGuide may consider referring the matters to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and/or another relevant regulator or professional body. In the event that an adviser is referred to ASIC or elsewhere as described above, that adviser will be removed from the SuperGuide list.
If you have any questions about the declaration or the list, please contact us.
