Annual Results Announcement (for the year ended 31 December 2018 [link] OUTLOOK Investors are increasingly conscious that the current economic recovery is one of the longest on record, and are on high alert for any sign of a cyclical downturn. The fortunes of the sector will also continue to be inextricably bound to the outlook for the Chinese economy which has accounted for most of the growth in demand in recent decades. Whilst the current US administration’s long-term quarrel with China is as much about enforcing intellectual property rights and gaining access to Chinese consumer markets, the immediate battle is being fought through tariffs on traded goods. The high level of rhetoric on this front, together with a slowdown in China’s growth, have pushed sector valuations to a level where any thawing in relations and/or a successful attempt to reflate Chinese growth could prompt significant upside.

Re: Prices! And another lovely quirk of this website is that for some ITs selecting the News tab appears to cause it show ALL news releases for the day!This is currently happening for me for FMPI.Stunning incompetence really, and I do hope that the company are losing clients because of it...

Re: Prices! The problem of starting from a close of 0 on the previous day seems to be restricted to Investments Trusts, though not all. Equally it is not just one or two. Another common problem which is so frustrating is around this time of day some prices (the first 3 columns) are what they were the previous night, but this usually corrects itself eventually. Whenever you complain they don't seem to be aware of it, and just blame their contractors. So very frustrating!

Re: Prices! I also hold FGT and that seems to be similarly affected, although curiously not quite as often as BRWM!

Re: Prices! Likewise irritated by this - it only seems to affect one of my holdings (BRWM) but makes me distrust anything I see in the portfolio display and I'm largely sticking to SharePad now, it's just easy to see at a glance the state of each holding in the iii display.

Re: Prices! This website really is a pile of ****! I'm glad I'm only using it to maintain a ghost portfolio, because if I was using it to trade I'd be looking elsewhere!The worrying thing is that they haven't got a clue what is wrong!!

Re: iii Prices It really is quite pathetic that ii can't sort this issue out! Surely they must realise that it gives a very poor impression of their service. Why would anyone invest through their platform if they can't even sort out a simple display problem..?

Re: iii Prices I emailed them this morning.It is a bit worrying and is one of the reasons I have only retained a "research" acccount with iii. This is not the first time that this sort of problem has arisen and I have never had another remotely similar problem occuring with any other platforms (Hargreaves Lansdown, Alliance Trust or Barclays)
