Morningstar completes AdviserLogic acquisition


Research house Morningstar Australasia has completed its previously announced acquisition of AdviserLogic, a cloud-based software platform for financial advisers in Australia.
AdviserLogic’s 80-plus employees across Australia and India have joined Morningstar, including chief executive Daniel Gara.
AdviserLogic had built a client base of 1,500 independent financial advisers across approximately 550 practices.
It had three core applications: AdviserLogic, its core financial planning software; PayLogic, its revenue management software; and DataLogic, its client data aggregation engine that collected data from platforms.
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
