AMP Financial Planning goes West
Independent research firm Chant West will begin providing superannuation research for AMP Financial Planning (AMPFP) later this month.
The specialist research firm will be the source of “analysis and information on industry funds, public sector funds and master trusts” as preferred provider of superannuation research.
AMP’s head of product research, Brad Barr, said utilising Chant West’s research would provide AMP’s research team “with another independent quality source of information to aid in the delivery of research services to AMPFP planners”.
AMPFP has over 1,300 financial planners on its roster, all of whom will have access to the research.
Principal of Chant West Warren Chant said AMP’s planners and research team will also have access to “a suite of tools and calculators that allow for extensive modelling and ‘apples with apples’ product comparisons”.
