Duties information

IAG employs Nominated Representatives who are authorised to provide financial advice on its behalf. IAG and its Nominated Representatives are bound by duties under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 relating to the way financial advice is given.
That means we are required to exercise care, diligence and skill and give priority to your interests when providing financial advice.
