Detail

An ASIC review of client files found that in some instances Mr Hartmann had failed to act in the best interests of clients when he:

  • advised clients to switch insurance arrangements and superannuation funds without being able to demonstrate why this was appropriate; and
  • did not conduct reasonable investigations into clients' objectives for insurance requirements or insurance products.
