Citywire
Citywire is a financial publishing and information site focusing on retail financial products such as unit trusts/oeics and life and pension funds, with additional coverage of equities.
Content is aimed at private investors, financial advisers, product providers and asset management groups. Citywire is regulated and authorised to give investment advice by the Financial Services Authority.
The Citywire site offers: News & Blogs breaking to 1-week old news, Share Prices FTSE100/250/350 listings ordered by mid-price, intra-day change, intra-day percentage change, sector and volume and BrainsTrust News to identify shares backed by fund managers.
The site also features Fund Performance allowing you to filter funds by ABI (life & pension) or IMA (general investment), sector and time period. Discrete returns are displayed over 3 months to 10 years. Click on the fund name for 1-5 year benchmarked performance, total and discrete returns, related fund news, Lipper fund ratings, 1-5 year fund volatility, asset allocation and top-10 holdings.
The recipes for wealth tool recommends asset allocation commensurate with age and risk tolerance and the fund managers tool allows you to get a rating for an individual manager or compare named fund managers, the consistency tool identifies managers who have consistently outperformed the average
Other site features include; A 'Deathometer' tool to estimate your life expectancy, a New Model Adviser, directed at financial advisers and guides to multi manager funds, Investment trusts, CFDs and spread betting.
Citywire is full of useful information and innovative tools, particularly apropos retail managed funds. Attention to detail is occasionally lacking, such as the lack of fund dividend and cost data. However Citywire scores heavily with its fund manager information. Tools are generally useful, but some (like the Deathometer) are gimmicky. Guides are short but to the point.
Navigation is intuitive from the overhead menu, albeit slightly ponderous. Never mind. You get there in the end.
