- A high-spec portfolio management system
- Improved charting facilities
- A wider range of news content including AFX and Citywire along with webcasts and a larger announcement archive

David Lester, Chief Information Officer at the London Stock Exchange, said: “We want to empower investors, to give them the tools they need to educate themselves and make better informed investment decisions. Our website is already a key destination for private investors looking to take advantage of the financial information that we provide. By offering more free information we expect it to become the staple content resource for many investors.”
