CHICAGO, March 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Morningstar, Inc. (NASDAQ: MORN), a leading provider of independent investment research, has launched a new alternative investments center as part of several enhancements to MorningstarAdvisor.com, a free website that provides financial advisors with practice management information, investment trends, and industry insights.
"Advisors play a crucial role in educating their clients about alternative investments because these vehicles are increasing both in popularity and complexity," said Nadia Papagiannis, Morningstar's director of alternative fund research. "Now, advisors have a comprehensive resource for providing clients with a more complete perspective on alternative investments."
In addition to the new Alternatives tab, the site now contains Morningstar market tools and an expanded video library featuring interviews with top portfolio managers and newsmakers, analysts, and some of the leading voices in the advisory community, along with access to select research reports on funds, stocks, ETFs, closed-end funds, and alternatives.
"We want to create a destination site where financial advisors can find timely information to improve their practices as well as help investors who depend on their guidance," said Chris Boruff, president of Morningstar's software division. "Our free portal connects with the Morningstar advisor software platforms they use every day for their financial planning and portfolio management tasks."
The site currently has three main content tabs: Alternatives, Practice Management, and Research and Insights.
The enhanced site also features additional components for social interactivity, a discussion feature allowing advisor dialogue and debate on articles and industry issues, a webinar audio archive, and links to Morningstar's advisor services, publications, and software platforms—Morningstar Advisor Workstation, Morningstar Office, and Morningstar Principia.
RAMP, a web content optimization company based in Woburn, Mass., worked with Morningstar to develop the new user interface and menu navigation, adding faster search and browsing capabilities, and integrating an iPad-enabled video player with a searchable transcript feature.
