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.

Other costs

Where other costs are incurred in the process of providing our advice and services to

you, you will be liable for these costs. These other costs may arise from another service

travel costs, stationery, etc. However, we will agree all additional costs with you prior to

incurring them.
