Select and "favorite" certain charts from the Guide to the Markets based on topics of interest and create custom presentations that they can share with clients to enhance their investment dialogue
Choose from related video, podcast and other multimedia insight pieces to insert into custom folders

Strategist commentary:

Each of more than 60 slides from the Guide is accompanied by talking points and custom audio commentary from one of our team of Global Markets strategists to fully explain the concept
Allows advisors to include commentary from David Kelly and his team in client meetings

Timely insights:

App is automatically updated when new content is released
Items saved in folders are updated as new data is available
