One of Australia’s largest independent dealer groups, Count Financial, has renewed its qualitative research agreement with van Eyk Research for a further three years.

For the last eight years, Count Financial has built a solid relationship with van Eyk Research, relying heavily upon the research group’s ability as the first filter in its investment research process.

Count Financial managing director Barry Lambert says Count, as a dealer to both accountants in Count and independent financial advisers in Compound, prides itself on its independence. Lambert says it was the group’s stance on independence which made the decision to renew its research agreement with van Eky an easy one.

Lambert says van Eyk is renowned for its independence, and its approach to providing research. He says the way van Eyk charges Count and not the companies it is researching, ensures the research is of the highest quality and value for money.

Count Financial research manager Rachel Griffith says while van Eyk Research is only the first filter in the groups research process, it is an important filter as it “weeds out” a large number of product providers.

“Count's internal research team can then concentrate its efforts on those managers most likely to add value. This combined research process allows Count to report to its advisers on over 3,000 funds,” Griffith says.

The agreement between Count Financial and van Eyk Research also covers tax-effective investments.
