Leading financial internet service provider Interactive Investor International (Interactive Investor) is adding Wide Learning Quicksights™ to its site content. These five-minute multi-media introductions to financial products and concepts will complement the many learning tools already available on the Interactive Investor website (www.iii.co.uk).
Wide Learning’s modules guide investors on how to leverage their wealth and instruct their broker, giving people with little experience confidence in investing knowledge and understanding. Complicated financial issues like ISAs, OEICs and unit trusts are also explained by Quicksights™’ unique use of user-friendly animation.
Tomas Carruthers, CEO of Interactive Investor, said:
“Interactive Investor’s core aim is to enable investors to take control of their personal finances. This involves providing educational tools at all levels and the Quicksights™ give an ideal, short introduction to a number of financial topics. As a market leader in the arena of online training, Wide Learning was a natural choice for providing this service to Interactive Investor’s customers.”
Luke Montague, Chief Executive at Wide Learning, said:
“Interactive Investor is a financial ISP which people value and trust, so we are delighted to provide educational content on their site. ISPs are increasingly realising they need to offer more than just the basics to their customers but Interactive Investor has been ahead of the game. By educating visitors to its site, it takes a further step forward.”
