Madisons selects Morningstar for research
Madison Financial Group has selected Morningstar Australasia as its investment research provider.
Morningstar said it is providing Madisons' advisers with research on managed funds, exchange-traded funds, stocks and hybrids, as well as economic and investment commentaries through Morningstar's Adviser Research Centre.
Madisons general manager Jeff Lehner said the group evaluated a number of offerings and determined that Morningstar's suite of research and tools was the best fit for its existing needs and for the ongoing development of the business in a Future of Financial Advice environment.
Madisons has 80 financial advisers and around $2.7 billion in funds under advice.
