the ADVFN

collates
some of the best investment
instruments from
across the funds spectrum and couples with educational
content about the industry
and specific products. The ADVFN
Funds Showcase was initiated after
research conducted by

investment trusts (the second largest product after UK equites)
with a further 22% investing in ETFs and 21% in managed
funds.
Products
from a range of asset management companies are given

from a prominent new
featured button on the ADVFN main menu.
"Funds
are great for investors that don't have the time, inclination or
capital to study and invest across global markets. Instead this
effort can be outsourced to fund managers who make the universe of
investment opportunities accessible to anyone," said Clem Chambers,
CEO of ADVFN. "With high levels of interest amongst UK investors
for this type of investing, it is an
excellent
time to launch a service that provides extensive content about the
funds industry. The ADVFN
Funds Showcase gives asset
management firms a unique chance to reach a giant audience of
private investors looking for more insight into
this market."
