Do you want to know a secret?A big part of the financial services industry has a vested interest in convincing you that the key to a successful investment experience is staying busy.Thumb through an investment magazine and you find any number of ads for trading software, courses in options trading, chart packs and newsletters that promise individual alerts on hundreds of companies.Now some people seem to actually enjoy poring over price trends and fundamental analysis or watching moving averages on stock charts. But most of the population simply have better things to do with their time.Where you stand in the debate about staying "busy" by thinking like a trader often depends on whether you see investment as the means to an end or as an end in itself!

The Financial Markets Authority (FMA) has sounded the alarm bells for the second time in two months over insurance companies providing soft commissions to financial advisers.The main form of remuneration for financial advisers who give advice on life and health insurance in New Zealand is commission. The commissions paid by insurers to advisers include monetary and non-monetary benefits. The use of non-monetary commissions, also known as soft commissions, is the concern here.Soft commissions are incentives or benefits such as gifts, prizes, trips, professional development such as training or software, events including conferences, sponsorships, payment of membership fees and loan to advisers.In the recent FMA report released last week showed nine life and health insurance companies spent $34 million over the past three years on soft commissions.It is very important to have an authorised financial adviser (AFA) by your side who is obliged to place the interests of their clients first.Stewart Group is an independent financial advisory business and introduced a "no soft commission" policy in 2003, which means we work for our clients' interest, not those of an insurance company.
