Lonsec reveals plans to develop former van Eyk technology



Lonsec says it is almost ready to unveil its enhancements to the former van Eyk iRate technology offering, which it purchased from the troubled research house's liquidators six weeks ago.
The handover is now complete, according to Lonsec, which said it would roll out a "major update" soon.
The update, iRate version 5, will feature portfolio construction functionality for all users, Lonsec said.
The technology currently has around 2800 users, spanning financial planners and licensees, with its core offering its portfolio construction capability.
