FAQ's

Your questions matter to us.

This page brings together helpful answers so you can feel informed, supported, and ready to take your next step with confidence. Still have questions? If you didn’t find the answer you were looking for, feel free to give us a call — we’re always happy to help.

Why use a financial adviser instead of buying insurance online?

Because online tools can’t see your whole picture. Every person’s situation is unique — We’ll help you find the right cover by helping you compare options, avoid costly gaps, and make confident, informed decisions.

Can you help review my existing cover?

Absolutely. We’ll check what you’ve got, make sure it’s still right for your needs, and often find ways to improve your protection or save you money.

I’m young and healthy — do I really need insurance now?

Yes! The earlier you start, the cheaper your premiums and the easier it is to get full cover.

Insurance isn’t just for when things go wrong — it’s about protecting your goals while life is going right.

What’s the difference between Life, Trauma, and Income Protection insurance?

Life insurance pays out if you pass away or are diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Trauma cover pays a lump sum if you suffer a serious medical condition like cancer or a heart attack.
Income protection replaces a portion of your income if you can’t work due to illness or injury.

Each covers a different “what if” — and together, they protect you from life’s biggest curveballs.

What happens when I make a claim?

We handle it with you — personally. We’ll walk you through the process, liaise with the insurer, and make sure things move smoothly and fairly. You won’t be left on your own.

What’s the best time to start KiwiSaver?

Now. The sooner you start, the more time your savings have to grow — and we’ll help you pick the fund that suits your risk level and plans.

Which KiwiSaver fund should I choose?

It depends on your age, goals, and how comfortable you are with risk. We’ll walk you through your options and make sure your KiwiSaver is aligned with your future plans — not just sitting idle.

How much does advice cost?

Our advice is usually free. We’re paid by the insurers, not you — and we’re fully transparent about how that works.

Where do you operate?

We’re based in Hamilton and work with clients throughout the Waikato and across New Zealand — in person or online.

Is your advice independent?

Yes — we’re not tied to one insurer. We work with a range of trusted providers so we can recommend the best options for your situation, not theirs.
