AdviceIQ retains Zenith
Newly-established boutique financial planning dealer group AdviceIQ Partners has retained Zenith Investment Partners as its research services provider.
AdviceIQ has been established by Tony Madden, Angus McLeod and Bronny Speed and will offer practices joining the group the opportunity to have an equity stake and the ability to operate under a co-branded structure.
Speed said Zenith had been retained to provide research services following a comprehensive review and full due diligence of a number of research providers.
She said it had been selected on the basis of representing the best fit with the AdviceIQ business model.
