Ambassadors enter into a contractual agreement with GoldStandard Wealth (GSW) which allows them to refer prospective Portfolio Managers to GSW (text of this agreement can be found here). There are no charges paid by the Ambassador for this arrangement and no performance criteria that the Ambassador has to meet. All Ambassadors need is the willingness to benefit from their network and the ability to communicate the benefits offered by GSW to their friends and acquaintances. A willingness to work hard is an added advantage.
There is no area based exclusivity in the standard arrangement. If an Ambassador wants to enter into a customized arrangement, area based exclusivity can be considered in exchange for minimum performance criteria.
GoldStandard Wealth has undertaken considerable effort to draft terms that address all the requirements that Ambassadors may have. Customized contracts will result in differential treatment and terms. This will erode trust between Ambassadors and GoldStandard Wealth due to concerns about benefits offered exclusively to certain Ambassadors. As such, GoldStandard Wealth's terms with all Portfolio Managers will be the same. In case any changes that confer incremental benefits to Ambassadors are introduced in the future, these revised terms will be offered to all existing Ambassadors as well.
This approach will ensure that all Ambassadors know that they are being treated equally and that no Ambassador has been given a benefit that is not available to all.
