Rice Warner justifies opt-in cost
Rice Warner has defended its costing of the opt-in proposal used by Assistant Treasurer Bill Shorten when launching the draft Future of Financial Advice (FOFA) Bill.
The actuaries estimated the annual ongoing cost of opt-in would be $11 a client, a figure that has been widely disputed by the financial advice industry.
“It excludes any costs associated with other parts of the FOFA reforms,” Rice Warner said in a statement.
“We have also made an important underlying assumption that advisers are already in regular contact with their clients, meeting at least once every year.”
It has estimated the implementation cost to a dealer group of opt-in at $105,000, with ongoing costs of $110,000 a year.
For product providers, the implementation cost would be $1.4 million and the ongoing cost $450,000.
These assumptions are based on there being 25 product providers and 100 dealer groups.
This means the total implementation cost to the financial services industry would be $46 million with ongoing costs of $22 million a year.
Based on the Australian Securities and Investments Commission’s estimate that 2 million people are receiving financial advice, the annual cost of opt-in would be $11 a year per client.
Rice Warner says existing clients will be “grandfathered” and the opt-in provision will only apply to new clients from July 1 next year.
The first occasion these clients will be required to sign an opt-in document will be July 1 2014.
“Advisers who adapt their business models to include annual or biennial client reviews for all new clients will be able to incorporate opt-in processes as part of their normal client management,” the actuaries said.
“The cost of ‘opt-in’ should not be confused with the cost of contacting clients who are not serviced regularly, or the implementation and ongoing costs of other FOFA reforms.”
Effects of Smoking on Your Teeth
Smoking is one of the nastiest habits out there, and has caused more trouble for people who smoke than they could ever imagine. If you are a regular smoker, then you need to start thinking about your teeth, and thinking about what smoking can eventually do to your teeth. Smoking is not a healthy habit, and if you continue to smoke not only will you be spending money on cigarettes, but you will also be spending mass amounts of money on the dentist bills.
When it comes to smoking, it is something that most people all enjoy and it is hard to quit. But when it comes to your mouth and your teeth, people who smoke do not really realize the effects it has on your mouth. The first effect is the fact that you will always have bad breath; you will always smell like you have just had a cigarette, even if it has been an hour or two. Remember, that bad breath can actually cause gum cancer, and if you smoke you are at an even bigger risk of developing gum cancer.
Gum cancer is just one of your worries, think about your teeth falling out, or just constant gum and teeth pain.
The Benefits of Purchase Protection
There are lots of different credit card offers available on the market, meaning that you can choose which card to apply for based on which you think would offer you the best deal. No matter which credit card you apply for, however, one thing you will be able to benefit from is purchase protection as this is something that all card providers are required by law to give you.
So, what is purchase protection? It is a relatively simple concept that means if you make a purchase on your credit card but then fail to receive the items or services you have bought (such as if the company goes out of business in the intervening period), you will not lose out because you’ll be able to claim back the money from the relevant credit card provider.
This means that when you shop using credit cards, you have an extra layer of protection that doesn’t exist with other methods of payment. Thi Read more…
