    Authorised body under a financial advice provider licence

    An authorised body is an entity (eg company or partnership) named on a Financial Advice Provider licence. A licensed FAP must agree to an authorised body operating under its licence. The authorised body must be named on the financial advice provider’s transitional licence application, and the licensed FAP will be required to provide information about the authorised body when it applies for its licence.
    Individuals cannot be authorised bodies under a FAP licence and individual financial advice provider licence holders cannot engage authorised bodies under their licences.
    Find out more about registration, costs, ongoing obligations, duties, standard consitions, general reporting conditions, code of professional conduct, competency safe harbour, and liability and enforcement on this page.

    Cash investments

    Cash investments include savings accounts and term deposits with a bank, credit union or building society. You can also invest cash through a managed fund (this includes KiwiSaver) which pools together money from individuals for investments, managed by a fund manager. Cash investments are relatively safe because you’re promised a fixed interest rate. But the returns you get through interest rates tend to be low, so they’re not always the best option – particularly if you’re saving for retirement. Find out more about the risks, returns and costs associated with investing in cash here.
