Purpose of FSG
This FSG sets out key information about the financial services we may provide to you. It also sets out information about your rights with respect to the financial services we provide.
We strongly recommend that you read and understand this FSG before you engage us to provide you with any financial services. If you have any questions, please contact us.
Documents you may receive
If we provide you with financial advice, we will provide that advice to you in a statement of advice (“SOA”). The SOA will contain our advice, the basis upon which we provide the advice and information about the remuneration we receive.
In some circumstances, we may provide advice to you in a record of advice (“ROA”) instead of providing you with an SOA. If you have not been provided with the ROA, you may request a copy of it free of charge at any time within 7 years after the advice was provided to you, by contacting us.
If you enter into an ongoing arrangement with Holman Hodge, you will receive a fee disclosure statement each year and a renewal notice (known as an opt-in notice) every two years.
If we provide you with advice to establish a self-managed superannuation fund (“SMSF”) or commence a pension or arrange for those services to be provided to you, we will ensure that you are provided with a product disclosure statement (“PDS”) unless we are satisfied that you have already received or have access to all of the information that would have been contained in the PDS.
The PDS is issued by the SMSF trustee and is designed to provide you with information to make an informed decision about whether to acquire an interest in the SMSF. The PDS will include details about the significant risks and benefits, costs, charges, tax implications and other significant characteristics or features of the SMSF.

How can you provide us with instructions?
You can give us instructions by phone, email or any other means that we agree with you from time to time. Please see Holman Hodge’s engagement letter for further information on instructing us.
Who does HHFS act for?
As authorised representatives, we provide financial services on behalf of HHFS. In providing those financial services, HHFS acts on its own behalf. HHFS is independent, and is not aligned with any product issuer or re-seller.
Fees and charges
Initial
Holman Hodge will charge you a fee for the financial services we provide to you. That fee may either be a fixed fee or based on the amount of hours it takes us to prepare and provide you with the financial services. These fees will be included in the SOA or ROA which will be provided to you.
We do not receive any commissions from product issuers or re-sellers.
Ongoing
If you enter into any ongoing service arrangement with Holman Hodge, Holman Hodge will charge you a yearly fee. This will be disclosed in the fee disclosure statement which is provided to you.
Accounting
Holman Hodge may charge you additional fees, which arise from the implementation of any advice we provide you. For example, audit, compliance or taxation fees in relation to the SMSF that is established. These fees are not related to the financial services we provide you, and will be set out in Holman Hodge’s engagement letter.
Please contact us if you require any further information about how we are remunerated.
