Van Eyk launches iPad app
Research and ratings house van Eyk has gone digital with the launch of a new iPad app, The van Eyk View - a monthly version of van Eyk's long-running client newsletter.
Announcing the launch of the new product, van Eyk chief executive Mark Thomas said the iPad app would see the newsletter branching out to include the views of key figures in the wealth management and financial adviser industries, as well as those of individual financial planners.
He said the app also linked to exclusive content for subscribers to van Eyk's iRate ratings and research platform.
"The iPad opens up a wonderful opportunity for us to communicate our ideas and the depth of our research more fully and in more engaging ways,'' Thomas said.
