AMPFP recently added Brendan Irwin, Nick Schoenmaker and Zaffar Subedar to its internal product research team.
AMPFP managing director Michael Guggenheimer said the appointment of van Eyk and Lonsec would complement the AMPFP product research team and enhance its offering to planners and client support services.

The new service will come into effect in September.
