The new tools include Web-based electronic mail, an on-line financial calendar and a variety of investment-related research goals. Investment.com is being designed to combine everything investors need to research financial information, conduct investment transactions, and track their entire investment portfolio -- including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, insurance and collectables -- on-line. By covering the full spectrum of an individual's investment portfolio, Investment.com plans to provide users with the first one-stop shop for all of their financial needs. "Investment.com has been designed to empower investors and become the first end-to-end global on-line investment portal," said Charles Desjardins, president and chief executive officer of Investment.com. "Our philosophy is simple: use the Internet to give people original, timely investment information and tools that allow them to take control of their complete financial situation." On-line investing is one of the fastest growing areas on the Internet. In fact, Forrester Research predicts the number of households investing on-line will almost double from 2.4 million at the start of 1999 to 4.6 million by the end of 2000. With a growing list of investment options and service providers, investors are increasingly looking for research, tools and services that will help them gain control of their total financial picture. "Everyone is concerned with their finances, but most people don't have the information and tools they need to make informed investing decisions," said Geof Wheelwright, chief operating officer of Investment.com and popular Financial Times of London and National Post business journalist. "From mutual funds to real estate to insurance, most people today track their finances in a file full of paper. It is our goal to allow people to take control of their financial future by providing easy-to-use on-line information, tools and services."
