About This Manager
From public information- Fee transparency
- Simple and predictable pricing structure — clients always know exactly what they are paying; commission-free agency agreement
- Commission policy
- No commissions or rebates of any kind accepted; insurance provider is not dictated to clients and no commission is taken on renewals
Strata Choice explicitly does not take insurance commissions or rebates of any kind, and restructured its agency agreement to a simple predictable pricing model to address industry-wide transparency concerns. The firm maintains a dedicated strata accounting team with a tiered structure (strata accountants, strata finance managers, head of strata finance operations) separate from scheme managers.
