Assignment title: Information
Using the information contained in the Scenario below, please complete the following 6 tasks. You
must complete each task in order for your submission to be assessed. Omission of any of these 6 tasks
will be regarded as Not Yet Competent and you will then be required to resubmit this assessment in full.
1. Complete the Fact Find document on these clients – using the form in Appendix 14.
We have not included all supplementary information on these clients so you will need to
create your own “improvised” answers for inclusion in the Fact Find document.
Trainees who already have access to their own version of a Fact Find template may use
their own form as an alternative to that provided in Appendix 14.
2. Recommend a product for the clients and explain your reasons for recommendation
3. List the supporting documents that would be needed to support the loan
4. Complete loan costing sheet *
5. Complete a loan servicing calculation (NSR) *
6. Complete a loan application form (an ANZ loan application form has been provided for
you which you must use) and complete all of the accompanying documents as provided
for you. Your answer to this Activity should be prepared as if you were submitting a
real full loan application to the lender.
Please note: If there is information required on the application that is not supplied please
improvise. The application should be completed as neatly as possible to ensure ease of review.
It is to be submitted to NFI as if NFI is the lender and you were an accredited broker (but you do
not need to make up “dummy” supporting documents eg. rates notice, etc). If you do not submit
in a professional manner, your assessment will not be marked.
* The fees and charges required in order to complete this assignment correctly (ie. Estimate of Costs
worksheet) can be found in Unit 7 (use your own state-specific section at the back of Unit 7) and the
instructions for how to complete the NSR form are in Unit 8. A Lenders Mortgage Insurance Chart
(LMI) can be found Unit 7. Trainees should ensure they source their fees and charges from these
units.

to complete a Customer Identification Procedure prior to finance approval from the lender. They have not
yet enquired into an exact payout figure from CBA.

ASSIGNMENT 1 Continued
Assumptions:
o Assume this is a cross collateralised loan
o Assume this structure will be a Line of Credit or a Split facility
o Your clients have told you: that they would prefer to keep the repayments on their
home separate from their investment property. They would like to keep the
repayments on their home as principal and interest but want to pay interest only
on their investment property. They also wish to pay out their personal loan on
the car to rationalise their loan repayments. They have agreed that ANZ will be a
suitable lender for their circumstances
o Although addresses show NSW, for the purpose of duty and other cost
calculations, assume that the clients live in the same state as you (the broker).
o You can assume a Standard Variable Rate of 5.5% and a Qualifying rate of 2%
above the Standard Variable Rate.
o Assume the current car loan will be paid out by the refinance of the home.
o Assume the clients will be “full-doc”.
Please note: The table of living allowances on the NSR sheet is based on the Henderson poverty index and
may be used in these assignments as we are not using a real client. However in real life ASIC has ruled
that a budget must be completed for each client to assess living expenses (we provide a sample budget
form at the back of Appendix B20 for interest).
