Zenith gets WilsonHTM contract
Van Eyk Research has lost another key contract, with Wilson HTM signing Zenith Investment Partners as its external research provider.
WilsonHTM head of private wealth management Chris Saunders said the company was looking for a researcher with a more tailored solution to its business.
“We were looking for a relationship with a researcher that is more relevant to the nature of our prominent equity capabilities and limited managed funds usage,” Saunders said.
Zenith recently signed BDO Wealth Management from Melbourne and Brisbane-based I-Group, while DFS Portfolio Solutions appointed the research house to complement its internal investment process.
Zenith national sales manager John Nicoll said the impact of the global financial crisis and a “reversion back to risk-focused processes has been beneficial to our business”.
“Fortunately, this has been the model we have always delivered at Zenith, and continue to do so,” Nicoll said.
