An ease of use you have yet to experience

Alpha’s one-click navigation is a genuine innovation, helping you to perform with greater efficiency. The information you are looking for is never more than a click away. For UK equities, for example, you can access pricing, news, results, forecasts, Level 2 order book, sector ranking, Directors’ and major shareholder dealings, charts, and the company’s website each with just a single keystroke. You can also create different layouts for different tasks and switch between them with a click of the mouse.

A competitive edge

Alpha provides a very definite edge – helping you to provide a faster, better service to your clients. When you need to respond to clients, Alpha gives you a wealth of information fast. If you are an analyst or managing funds, Alpha makes it easy to find and assess equities and funds to meet specific investment purposes.

Superb stock screening enables you to find companies that match even the most demanding investment criteria in seconds. You can choose from hundreds of criteria to create unlimited filters. The search is instantaneous allowing you to quickly see the results of modifying your criteria. Filters are automatically updated each day or even real-time.

There are plenty of services which give you information about open-ended funds but Alpha is the only one which enables you to quickly and easily compare open-ended funds with investment trusts and ETFs – both in table and chart format. Compare performance, NAVs, TERs, spreads and liquidity. Measure performance over arbitrary time periods such as “since the crash” or “year to date”.

You’ll identify opportunities in minutes not hours.

Personalised to what you do

Alpha’s flexible multi-window layout can be customised to suit not just your organisation’s focus, but that of individual roles. Create and save different multi-screen layouts and switch from one to the other with a click of the mouse. For example, monitor the broader markets in one view and then, with a click of the mouse, drill down to a particular company.

Win over potential clients

Easily replicate the portfolios of prospective clients and benchmark their holdings against your own model portfolios and other indices. Easily output charts and tables for persuasive client illustrations.

Better position management

Alpha’s superb charts enable you to better plan and manage your investments. Draw key support and resistance levels and broker target prices to identify stocks with higher profit potential and to plan entry and exit points. Set real-time alarms on these lines to make sure you don’t miss these decision points. Unlike many other services, all lines, shapes and annotations added to Alpha’s charts are saved so you don’t need to re-enter them again and again.
