Lonsec announces iRate update
Lonsec has announced it has expanded its iRate 5 technology to allow subscribers direct access to Lonsec's research and analysis.
The announcement comes after Lonsec said in December last year it would release a "major update", which will have portfolio construction functionality for all users.
"The research service delivers material enhancements in research navigation, report customisation and the ability to construct and tailor portfolios," Lonsec Research chief executive, David Erdonmez said.
"Planners can build and compare portfolios across a range of metrics and importantly, demonstrate the benefits of a recommended portfolio to their client. The service also enables interactive modelling based on the economic outlook."
The update comes after Lonsec bought the technology offering from van Eyk after it went into liquidation last year.
Looking ahead, Lonsec plans to launch an "adviser-focused" ASX200 equity research offering, which it says will release later this month.
