Adviser Edge and van Eyk partner in property research
Investment research house van Eyk has extended its partnership with alternative investment researcher Adviser Edge into the property sector.
The new development builds on an existing agribusiness research alliance, which was forged in March 2004 between the two research houses.
The decision to extend the relationship into property research follows Adviser Edge’s appointment of property analyst Louis Christopher last year.
The addition of property research has seen the Adviser Edge team grow to include five senior investment analysts and six researchers.
Christopher heads up the property division and will work to highlight potential opportunities and threats for advisers and their clients in the commercial property trust sector.
Van Eyk alliance manager Geoffrey Bullock said Adviser Edge was chosen to provide property research because of its track record and its new capabilities with Christopher.
“We already had an ongoing relationship with them (Adviser Edge) and we’re very comfortable with their methodology and how they do their research of the agribusiness sector,” he said.
Adviser Edge will apply the same assessment methodology and client-focused research that it uses in its research of agribusiness managed investment schemes, with each property fund receiving a rating that reflects its commercial merit.
