OppenheimerFunds Unveils Industry-Changing Global Tracker(SM) App for Tablets
NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- OppenheimerFunds, Inc., a leading investment manager, today announced the launch of the Global Tracker(SM), a free, first-of-its-kind app that provides financial advisors and investors with a 360 degree perspective on global markets, investments and funds through a tablet interface. Global Tracker(SM) is unlike any other tool in the market and transforms the way advisors and their clients interact.
"Global Tracker(SM) will redefine how advisors and their clients explore investment opportunities and their understanding of the global markets," said Philipp Hensler, Head of Distribution at OppenheimerFunds. "Our new app demonstrates a major cultural shift in the industry, transforming the traditional advisor-to-client relationship in ways that promote a more independent, globalized way of thinking about investing."
Global Tracker(SM) is the first app available that truly lets investors match their unique investment goals with global and international fund offerings. Whether you are a trained financial professional or a retail investor, the app is intuitive and easy to use. Global Tracker(SM) demystifies complex investment challenges into easy-to-digest stories, highlighting opportunities by weaving together international fund facts, portfolio manager videos, index performance, specific company data and economic trends. The app is designed to offer a transparent view into portfolio companies, and the impact individual countries and their economies had on that company's performance, providing advisors and investors with a real-time view of the impact of globalization on the world's economy.
Other product features include:
-- Economic data on markets, countries and industry sectors and the ability
to compare them over time
-- Current data and statistics that are updated monthly
-- A transparent view of OppenheimerFunds' fund managers, including
commentary pieces
-- Public access to OppenheimerFunds' Twitter feed, @OppFunds, without the
need to create a Twitter account
-- Direct link to globalizeyourthinking.com for even more detailed
information
"Our vision is to take investors beyond traditional, static financial websites and provide a unique way for advisors to engage and educate investors about global investment opportunities to help them meet their financial goals," said Marty Willis, Chief Marketing Officer at OppenheimerFunds. "Global Tracker(SM) puts the insight and thought leadership of OppenheimerFunds' fund managers directly into advisors' hands to help them navigate the complex global landscape in a simpler way for their clients."
The Global Tracker(SM)( )app is available to download for iPad, Android and Windows/OS X by visiting globalizeyourthinking.com/app. You can also visit the iTunes App Store and Android Market by searching: "Global Tracker".
