The app - compatible with Apple, Android and BlackBerry devices - also provides investment views and fund manager interviews. Additionally, users can select their location and language, while using the customised function to bring up the funds in which they are interested and to select from a range of currency options.

Barings launched a BlackBerry-friendly version of its fund prices app in June. The app allows investors to track Barings’ fund prices, covering a range of Asia Pacific, EMEA, fixed income, global emerging markets, European and multi-asset vehicles. It also permits users to filter funds by geographical and currency preferences, and provides information on individual funds, including charges and minimum investment requirements.
