Standard & Poor's (S&P) will widen its research coverage through distribution agreements with SuperRatings and Aegis Equities Research.
SuperRatings provides research on superannuation funds including industry funds.
"Financial planners are increasingly managing the superannuation arrangements of their clients. They are looking to get more research from this sector," S&P managing director Chris Dalton said.
At an extra cost, planners can access research reports from Aegis and SuperRatings through S&P's website.
"It makes S&P a one-stop shop for research to assist the financial planning market," Dalton said.
The ratings agency has now secured three distribution deals.
In September S&P signed an exclusive contract with Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) to provide the bulk of its financial planning research. The agreement meant S&P would do the bulk of research for CBA's dealer groups, Commonwealth Financial Planning and Financial Wisdom.
