S&P adds to online fund factsheet tool

Fund ratings agency Standard & Poor's Fund Services has extended its online fund factsheet analysis tool to include UK investment trusts, pension and life funds. Called 'funds in view' the analysis is available at its website at www.funds-sp.com. The analysis focuses on four separate areas: cumulative performance, consistency of performance, holdings and risk/return analysis. A summary page for each fund at the website gives information such as latest price, currency, launch date, three-year volatility, and latest fund size.
