Praemium scores new client
Newly launched investment advisory firm Evans & Partners has selected Praemium to provide it with front and back-office support services.
Based in Melbourne, Evans & Partners is being established by David Evans, the former head of retail and institutional broking at Goldman Sachs JBWere, and will commence operations this Wednesday.
Praemium will supply its market data system p-Desktop and its proprietary online portfolio administration service V-Wrap to the new business.
Evans said the tight integration between the two support systems made Praemium an easy choice, adding that “with the advantage of starting with a clean sheet, we were able to select an IT package that would provide market leading technology, reliability and reporting”.
