Netwealth signs global fintech firm
Australian non-institutional platform, Netwealth, has entered into an exclusive partnership with global fintech firm, TipRanks, to allow advisers and clients to see buy, sell and hold recommendations for major US stocks.
TipRanks provides research on all major shares listed on US markets and helps track analyst recommendations as well as performance of source stock analysts, bloggers, hedge funds, or corporate insiders dating back to January 2009.
According to joint managing director at Netwealth Group, Matt Heine, clients would now be provided with a huge amount of information which was not generally available in Australia.
"This is an important step in building out our fintech ecosystem. We are partnering with highly relevant and technology smart companies to assist advisers and their clients make the most of their super and investments," he said.
