Investment group van Eyk Research has completed the rebranding of Perpetual Asset Management and Perpetual Portfolio Management following its purchase of the two businesses earlier this year.

Perpetual Portfolio Management is now known as van Eyk Advice NZ while Perpetual Asset Management has been renamed Blueprint Investment Management. Both companies are wholly owned and operated by van Eyk Research Pty Ltd.

All 10 of Perpetual's advisers have moved to the new business.

van Eyk chief executive Mark Thomas said the rebranding marked the integration of the Perpetual companies into the van Eyk group and its proven investment process, which is based on van Eyk’s proprietary investment research.

“Our valued New Zealand clients and investors stand to benefit from van Eyk’s two decade dedication to pure research and our commitment and ability to following our ideas through all stages of the investment process: from strategy to product development to tailored, individual investment advice,” Thomas said.

“In an industry that is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few financial institutions, van Eyk stands out as one of the few non-aligned advice services in both Australia and New Zealand.”
van Eyk Advice NZ offers retail financial planning and advice that focuses on helping clients achieve their financial goals and ensuring their investments are aligned with their tolerance for risk. We are also experts at assisting clients transfer their UK pension to the New Zealand scheme.

Blueprint Investment Management is the investment manager for the Blueprint Series of managed funds, a suite of eight sector funds covering shares, bonds, cash, property & infrastructure and alternative investments. Like its Australian counterpart, Blueprint draws on van Eyk’s expertise in research and asset allocation to deliver an optimum outcome for investors.

Blueprint is available on the Aegis platform.
