ARRIA signs data provider for adviser tools
The Association of Real Return Investment Advisers (ARRIA) has teamed with investment data provider FE Australia to rollout a series of tools to help members achieve outcomes-based solutions for clients.
ARRIA, which is the peak body for the development & advancement of best practice in real returns investments, said there was a shortage of technology and tools that provided information around real returns investment models.
It had formed an Implementation Committee that would examine tools for use by its members and will work with FE Australia to develop these for ARRIA members.
FE Australia is part of the wider Financial Express group, based out of the UK, and provides investment data, software tools and performance analysis to the financial services industry.
