I ACT IN YOUR BEST INTEREST

I will notify you if there is a conflict of interest with regard to my service or my recommendations.  My overall recommendation will be based on my analysis of your financial security needs and will set out solutions that best serve your interest.

When considering the purchase of life insurance, living benefits, investment, or banking products, it is important to have an understanding of the product and how it meets your needs.  In addition, it is important to know the company which is offering/supplying the product or service as well as the advisor who is recommending it.  The following information is to inform you on my relationship with the companies I do business with, and how I am compensated.

I have contacted you to discuss possible financial strategies and insurance requirements pertaining to your business and or family’s insurance and investment needs.  My services may be limited to specific products discussed or may include financial planning where a written agreement is made.  I may receive customer referrals from certain businesses as well as from existing clients.  I am unable to advise you on any mutual funds, where I do not hold the appropriate authorized regulatory certificates.

No Insurer holds ownership or interest in my business, nor do I hold an interest in any Insurance Company.  I am the proprietor of J Mullane Financial.  

Compensation:

If you choose to purchase a product through me, I will receive remuneration from the company that offers the product.  I am compensated by either a sales commission or referral fee at the settlement of the product or service.  In addition, I may also receive renewal (or service) commissions from the Insurer where clients decide to keep the policy or contract in-force.  

I may also be may be eligible for additional compensation, such as bonuses and non-monetary benefits, depending on factors such as the volume or persistency of business that I place with a particular company.  The amount of compensation received will not play a factor in the recommendations made to you.

Conflicts of Interest:

I take the potential of a conflict of interest very seriously.  I will notify you verbally and in writing if there is a potential or real conflict of interest of which I become aware.  My overall recommendations are unbiased and, where possible, are based on an independent survey of companies and products. 

Growing and protecting your assets is paramount to your financial health.  I encourage you to take the time to carefully read policy and account information to ensure your full understanding.  A careful assessment of your financial and security requirements have been considered as part of my overall review.  Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need further clarification on the recommended products, my qualifications, or the nature of my business relationships.
