We will advise you of any related fees and charges prior to having them commence any work on your behalf.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST & COMMISSIONS OR OTHER INCENTIVES

Sun Insurance Limited may receive a commission when you when you pay your invoice for insurance cover or if we refer you to a premium funder with whom you enter into a premium funding arrangement.

Sun Insurance Limited may pay your financial adviser a salary, plus bonuses and other incentives.

We recognize that the above commissions and incentives may create conflicts of interests for Sun Insurance Limited and your financial adviser.  To manage these conflicts, we follow an advice process that ensures our recommendations are made based on your financial goals and circumstances. Sun Insurance Ltd undertakes compliance audits of your financial adviser, who undergoes specialized training in this area.  Sun Insurance also annually audits our conflicts of interest compliance framework.

We may, however, choose to rebate all or some commissions and charge you a fee based on the nature of the service we provide.
