Price and performance pages will show the history of individual stocks, with factsheets displaying company fundamentals including detailed financial accounts and a full history of company updates.
The section will also feature the day’s best- and worst-performing equities, news feeds from Business Financial Newswire, and key index data including the FTSE 100, FTSE AIM and Standard & Poor’s 500 indices, and oil and gold prices. Users will be able to integrate stocks in which they invest or shares they are considering into Trustnet’s portfolio tool and multi-plot charting.
Equities on Trustnet join information on unit trusts and OEICs, investment trusts, ETFs, structured products, offshore funds and life and pensions investments.
Pascal Dowling (pictured left), editorial director at Financial Express, commented: "Trustnet already carries detailed fund, manager and group factsheets, so a natural extension to our service for investors is to include more details on direct equities."
"We are confident that this addition to the Trustnet resource set will be a valuable weapon in our users’ investment arsenal, giving them access to detailed factsheets on individual companies, including historical information, and allowing them to line up equities alongside their holdings in their Trustnet portfolio ahead of making investment decisions."
