What is
NZ DIMS?

Giving authority to Financial Advisers

NZ DIMS powered by Finzo NZ Limited, enables financial advisers and advisory firms to operate under Finzo’s DIMS licence giving them the authority to manage investments with a high degree of autonomy.

Advisers can act on pre-agreed strategies without needing to consult clients for every investment decision, ensuring timely and efficient portfolio management in the client’s best interest.

Prefer a hands-off approach? Finzo can also manage both the investment decisions and implementation directly, giving you the flexibility to choose the level of involvement that best suits your business model.

Regulatory Compliance

Holding a NZ DIMS licence ensures that advisers fully comply with the Financial Markets Conduct Act (FMC Act), reducing the risk of legal or regulatory complications.
