The financial and credit services referred to within this document are offered by an Authorised Representative and/or Credit Representative of Matrix. This document must be read in conjunction with the Financial Adviser Profile and the How We Charge For Our Services documents which are both attached. One is incomplete without the others. Together, these three documents constitute our Combined Financial Services Guide and Credit Guide (Guide). The Guide is given to you on behalf of Matrix and your Authorised Representative.
Matrix is responsible for the financial and credit services provided to you, including the distribution of the Guide.
You should take the time to read the Guide so you can make an informed decision about whether to use our services. If you have any questions, please contact us.
The Guide contains important information regarding• The services offered to you
• The process we follow to provide financial and credit assistance services
• Matrix as the holder of an Australian Financial Services Licence and Credit Licence
• The lending institutions we deal with
• How Matrix Authorised Representatives and Credit Representatives are remunerated
• Any associations or potential conflicts of interests we may have
• Our internal and external dispute resolution procedures and how to access them and
• Matrix’s Privacy Policy.
When we provide you with initial financial or credit assistance adviceThis will be documented in a ‘Statement of Advice’ (SOA) for you. This document will detail and take into account your current financial situation, requirements and future needs.
The SOA issued to you will also provide you with information regarding:
• The strategy and product recommendation we are making
• Advantages, risks and disadvantages of the advice
• Any other services we recommend
• Our fees and commissions, as well as the way they are determined
• Any associations we have with financial and credit product issuers or other parties that may influence the advice we provide to you.
When we provide you with further financial or credit assistance adviceDepending on the complexity of the advice, your Adviser will prepare either a SOA or a Record of Advice (ROA) for you.
If the recommendation for a particular financial or credit product is made, we will provide you with the information relating to that product in the form of a Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) or other disclosure documents issued by the issuer of the recommended financial or credit product.
Credit AssistanceMatrix, as a credit licensee, provides credit services in relation to the following:
• Strategic credit advice
• Assistance with mortgages, personal loans and credit cards
• Referral to a broker or credit provider and
• Other credit assistance as appropriate to your situation.
It is important to note that your Adviser is only authorised by Matrix to provide credit activities but not to be a credit provider or a lessor. Generally, Matrix Advisers will provide credit advice in conjunction with financial planning advice.
Where your Adviser is a Credit Representative of Matrix and where credit assistance is being provided to you, your Adviser has to adhere to a number of important obligations. Credit assistance means suggesting that you remain in, apply for, or increase the credit limit of a particular mortgage or other credit contract with a specific credit provider.
To ensure you are not provided with credit assistance where the recommended contract is unsuitable for you, we are required to complete a ‘Preliminary Assessment’ document. The Preliminary Assessment assists us in making the determination whether a
A GUIDE TO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU

contract is ‘unsuitable’. We must make reasonable enquiries or take actions to:
• Understand your requirements and objectives in relation to the credit contract or credit limit increase
• Understand your financial situation and
• Verify your information, for example, obtaining proof of income and expenditure.
Your Adviser needs to give you a written copy of the Preliminary Assessment free of charge, or upon request, any time within 7 years of the date your credit assistance quote was provided. If the request is made within 2 years of the credit assistance quote the Preliminary Assessment must be provided within 7 business days after the request is received, otherwise the Preliminary Assessment must be provided within 21 days at all other times.
It should be noted that your Adviser is prohibited from suggesting or assisting you to apply for an ‘unsuitable’ loan contract. If at any time the products on our approved list (see Approved Product and Investment List of this document) are deemed not suitable to your situation, your Adviser will refer you to a credit provider who will be able to recommend a suitable product.
Collecting your personal informationYou will be requested to provide us with your personal objectives, details of your current financial situation and any relevant information to enable us to provide appropriate advice to you. This will be recorded in one of two ways: for financial planning related advice, via a Financial Needs Analysis (FNA) booklet; for credit related services, via a Preliminary Assessment booklet. Both these booklets form part of the data collection process which ensures the advice provided to you is based on your personal situation and is in your best interest.
You have the right not to provide us with the above information. However, if you do not, the advice you receive may not be appropriate to your objectives, financial situation and needs.
You should carefully read the information and warnings contained in the SOA or other advice documents before making any decision relating to a financial product or advice.
What information do you maintain in my file and can I examine my file?We maintain a record of your personal profile including details of your objectives, financial situation and needs. We also maintain records of any recommendations presented to you.
If at any time you wish to examine your personal information, please let us know.

Licensee Fee from approved platformsMatrix is a distributor of a wide range of approved platforms that may be recommended to help with the management and administration paperwork of client investments and superannuation funds. A number of these platforms were deemed to be ‘preferred’, after Matrix completed thorough research based on their services, features and benefits for clients.
A Licensee Fee will generally apply for clients who elect to use preferred platforms. The Licensee Fees are collected through the platform in consideration for Matrix services to you such as:
• Research on the investments and management of the Approved Product and Investment List available through preferred platforms
• Supervision and quality checking of preferred platforms
• Conducting due diligence on the investment and preferred platforms
• Providing feedback on behalf of clients to the product manufacturers on the enhancement and features of investment products available through preferred platforms

• In some cases, assistance with issue resolution.
The Licensee Fee may be up to 0.25% p.a. of your total investment under the platform.
The exact amount of the Licensee Fee will be provided to you in a SOA or ROA. For example, if a Licensee Fee was 0.16% and your account balance was $100,000 the fee would be $160.

• PartnerShip
You should be aware that if you wish to invest in the Russell PartnerShip series of managed funds an amount equal to 0.20% p.a. of your investment balance in that fund is paid to Matrix, to meet the cost of asset consultation services associated with these funds provided by Matrix.
