Our fees, expenses and/or other amounts payable
The actual amount Joseph Brothers Financial Advisers Limited may charge you will
depend on the nature and scope of the advice or service we provide. We will discuss
and agree the actual fees with you before we proceed and will explain how these fees
will be payable. Our agreed advice and services and service fees may include charges
for initial advice, ongoing or annual advice, and services. The fees charged for our
advice and services may be based on a combination of a set dollar amount or a
percentage-based fee. Fees will be confirmed in our Statement of Advice which will be
provided to you when the advice is given.
In addition, a fee and/or charges may be payable for altering or cancelling your service

you will be advised at the time the financial advice is provided.
For services in relation to insurance and loans products, commissions may be paid by
the product provider. This is usually an initial commission which is normally apercentage of the value of your loan amount or insurance premium, plus an ongoing
commission, usually a percentage of the value of your investment balance, outstanding
loan amount or premiums and generally calculated at the end of the month in which you
hold the loan, or renewal of insurance products. In some circumstances we may
recommend another service provider to assist us in providing appropriate financial
advice. These providers can include property valuers, property surveyors and motor
vehicle valuations. These providers will charge a fee for the work they do. We will advise
you of any related fees and charges prior to having them commence any work on your
behalf.
