Sentry extends van Eyk relationship
Research and ratings house van Eyk has entered into a three-year agreement with dealer group Sentry Group to provide access to van Eyk’s iRate investment research portal as well as investment consulting advice and model portfolio creation.
According to van Eyk national account director Michael Angwin, the agreement represented a substantial extension of the relationship that has existed between van Eyk and Sentry since the establishment of the dealer group in 2005.
Angwin said the agreement was also significant because of Sentry’s acquisition last year of Australian Finance Group Financial Planning, which more than doubled the number of financial planners under the Sentry umbrella and took funds under management to $2.2 billion.
Both Angwin and Sentry Group chief executive Murray Hills said Sentry would continue to support van Eyk’s implemented research product offering, van Eyk Blueprint Series.
