FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | Melbourne, Australia – 21 August 2025 

Lonsec Research and Ratings is proud to announce that we have once again been recognised in the 2025 Adviser Ratings Australian Financial Advice Landscape Report as the leading provider of investment research in Australia. This marks four years in a row in which Lonsec has been awarded the prestigious Best Research House distinction, affirming our ongoing commitment to quality, innovation, and impact across the financial advice sector.

The report provides a comprehensive view of the evolving advice ecosystem, highlighting trends in adviser sentiment, investment preferences, and the growing importance of integrated research and technology solutions.

We remain committed to supporting advisers as they navigate change, grow their businesses, and help clients live their best lives.”

According to the report, “Lonsec leads in both usage and sentiment, with strong adviser support underpinned by its robust service model”. Lonsec’s Net Promoter Score (NPS) has risen from 19 to 28 over the past five years, and 45% of surveyed advisers now rely on Lonsec’s research to make investment decisions for their clients, demonstrating strong industry reach and consistent service excellence. Through our award-winning platform, iRate®, Lonsec delivers qualitative and quantitative analysis across more than 1,800 managed investments and listed securities, and over 480 superannuation products.
