van Eyk sale process begins


van Eyk's administrator is seeking expressions of interest for the research group's assets, including its portfolio construction product, iRate.
The call comes two days after the research group went into voluntary administration.
Administrator Trent Hancock, of Moore Stephens Sydney Corporate Recovery Group, hopes opening the business to potential offers will be the best pathway for high investment returns for creditors.
"The core business and assets of van Eyk Research remain valuable and highly regarded, to the extent that we have fielded a large number of informal expressions of interest through the course of this week," he said.
It will be accepting expressions of interest up until 23 September.
