2ergo Launches Free iPhone App For Fidelity International
29 June 2010
London, 28 June 2010 – 2ergo has designed and developed an Apple iPhone application for Fidelity International, the world’s investment specialist, making it the first UK asset manager to launch an investment app for UK investors.
The free iPhone app will deliver key information on all of the 1,100+ funds available on Fidelity FundsNetworkTM, allowing investors to keep up-to-date with latest fund and market news while on the move.
Key features of the Fidelity iPhone app include: A fund search facility for all funds on the Fidelity FundsNetwork, fund prices, fund facts and performance data, a ‘click to call’ facility which allows users to phone Fidelity representatives directly from the app, interactive fund performance graphs, including dynamic benchmark displays, breaking news, expert opinions and the ability to save funds to a watch list. The app is available to everyone, from existing Fidelity investors to those simply interested in the financial markets.
Colin McCaffery, Director of Products, at 2ergo, said: “Our leading smartphone applications’ development team has worked closely with Fidelity to help them become the first UK asset manager to develop and launch an app. 2ergo’s specific financial services sector focus has enabled the app to be equipped with truly market leading features designed to enable fast, accurate and secure access to the market information that matters most, including the latest fund prices, data and performance covering more than 1,100 funds available on the Fidelity FundsNetwork.”
Rob Fisher, Head of UK Personal Investments at Fidelity International, commented “The iPhone is used by millions of people in the UK and is increasingly becoming the dominant mobile web platform. Developing an investment app made sense and 2ergo were the natural choice due to their reputation and recognised success. Our app now means that investors can keep abreast of the latest fund and market news, as well as track their fund holdings wherever they are.”
The Fidelity app is available for free download from the App Store online and via the iPhone.
