A new Trustnet: subtle changes, obvious benefits

11 December 2008

Trustnet offers factsheets covering a wider range of investment vehicles in more detail than any other website available in the UK, and we’ve added a number of new features to the site to help you make the best of this wealth of information.

Absolute return funds ratings:  in conjunction with our parent company Financial Express, we now provide ratings allowing you to see which ones deliver the best returns in real life – not just in their marketing material.
 

Offshore: You can look at onshore funds on the same table as UK registered for sale offshore funds if you so choose, and compare the performance of a much wider universe as a result. To make this even easier, we’ve built a currency rebasing option which allows you to view returns – no matter what currency the funds are denominated in – in sterling if you want to, so you can see what you’d actually take home if you were investing in these vehicles.

Funds basket : Allowing you to bookmark funds as you move around – this is particularly useful in our price and performance tables where you can see more funds, and sort them by more criteria, than you can anywhere else on the web.

Portfolio: You can now add funds to your portfolio from anywhere on the site, including the price and performance tables, and examine your portfolio in more detail using our improved portfolio scanner, new ‘beauty parade‘ fund comparison tool, or the new charting tool which allows you more variables than ever before.

Pensions calculators: Allowing you to project your pension requirements forward and get a better idea of what you need to see, and an improved pensions search facility – which allows you to find pensions that you can use to invest in exactly the funds you want, not just those available in a given wrapper.

Factsheets: You can look at a factsheet on a single page overview as always, or you can focus on performance, asset allocation, or dividends and really drill down into how an individual fund behaves.


Prices & performance: As well as daily prices, performance and yield, you can rank funds by S&P, OBSR or Crown Rating, or see which ones have audio and video presentations attached, or even download literature like simplified prospectus direct from the fund manager.

Community: Now you can talk to other investors on the site about the funds you’re looking at, send pages to your friends, or simply look at our ‘most popular’ tables to see which funds and research articles are attracting the most attention from people using the site.

Remember, it’s your website, so if you have any comments on the new features or if you feel there’s anything else you’d like to see, we’d love to know – contact us now on feedback@trustnet.com
