Demand for alternative research grows
A growing interest in alternative investments and structured products by financial planners has led Aegis Equities Research to expand its specialist team.
The group, which specialises in direct equities, property and structured products, has hired Andrew Wong to cover what it says is a significant increase in demand for research on alternative assets.
Wong is a former employee of both Westpac Institutional bank and Absolute Capital, where he focussed on hedge fund and structured product research.
The demand for research on alternatives investments has blossomed over the past six months according to Aegis, which formed an alliance with another research group, van Eyk, in February.
As part of the deal, Aegis supplies van Eyk with research on structured products, as well as a qualitative analysis of the top 200 Australian companies.
