Synchron partners with Lonsec
Lonsec Research and risk-focused dealer group Synchron have entered into a partnership under which Lonsec will become Synchron’s preferred investment research provider.
Synchron’s financial advisers would get access to Lonsec’s investment product research, market insights and portfolio construction tools via Lonsec’ Research’s iRate platform.
As a part of a deal, Lonsec would also provide its full suite of financial product research, including managed funds and direct equities analysis, as well as specialised investment consulting services to enhance Synchron’s Approved Product List (APL).
Synchron director, John Prossor, stressed that Lonsec’s tools would help Synchron to continue to meet client demand for “higher-value financial advice and tailored investment solutions”.
Lonsec Research’s chief executive, Matt Olsen, said: “Our focus is on delivering a solution that matches the depth and sophistication of Synchron’s financial advice, while providing them with the cutting-edge tools they need to create better investment outcomes for their clients.
“Our goal is to ensure financial advisers are best equipped to deliver for their clients now and into the future.
“We are incredibly excited to be working with Synchron and to be supporting Australia’s largest group of non-aligned financial advisers.”
