Morningstar would continue to complement CBA's wealth management (WA) advice research team with their consulting services and tools, acccording to CBA.

CBA wealth management executive and general manager of advice, Marianne Perkovic, said: "Over the coming months we will strengthen our advice process by implementing the objective-based advice model, which puts our customers' personal and lifestyle goals at the centre of the advice provided".

"To ensure its success we need to bring our financial advisers the best possible solutions to assist clients," she said.

Morningstar had continued to invest in its research offering, with its adviser research centre that now offered upgraded content and research reports.
