available to ADVFN users -

ADVFN has teamed up with Alliance News to provide a superior news service for private investors.

Users of the free ADVFN service already have access to a wealth of news including: RNS (and RNS Reach), EDGAR, Dow Jones Newswire, Business Wire, PR Newswire and many other news feeds for markets around the world. However, the new add-on subscription service offers a greater range and volume of real-time news articles, briefings and summaries (in excess of 500 a day). This includes Flash headlines, Broker Ratings, Sector Earnings Previews, Calendars and News Sentiment tagging.

The Alliance News service on ADVFN covers every London-listed company, including AIM stocks and investment trusts, and tells users which stocks are moving, which are about to move, and why. It includes top UK and global economic, political and general news, reporting on influential global blue-chip companies, and commentary on the foreign exchange and commodities markets that matter to UK equities prices.

Key features:

· Flash Headlines on all market-moving events

· In The Know and Taking AIM stock insight - UK, major European and US market commentary throughout the day.

· Broker Ratings changes and price targets as reported and in a convenient daily summary

· Executive Interviews and sector earnings previews

· UK Morning Briefing - unique flash summary of the London market open, including key pre-market company announcements and broker ratings, overnight world news, and opening direction

· UK Midday Briefing - everything you need to know ahead of the afternoon session and US open

· UK Winners & Losers Summary - tells you which stocks are moving the most and why

· Calendars of corporate and economic events; Latest Actuals calendar updated as economic data is released; tables of comparative and historic economic indicators

· Primary Ticker - sensible content tagging, including the ability to filter on just the news that is about a company and significant to it.

· News Sentiment - positive or negative to the stock price, assigned by the journalist who wrote the story, not a computer

· Unlimited News Archive

The subscription is £30.00+VAT per month but ADVFN is offering a month's free trial so users can see the benefits of the service for themselves at no cost.

"When making investing and trading decisions having a wide range of data and tools at your disposal is a must," said Clem Chambers, CEO of ADVFN. "We are therefore delighted to be working with Alliance News to further enhance our offering and provide our users with the very best in news content to aid their investing."

Tom Waite, chief executive of Alliance News, said: "It's great to be able to work with ADVFN to bring a professional-grade financial news service to all UK investors. Rule changes contained in recent Budgets have given people more control over their own money, and have made investing in the wider UK equity market, from top to bottom, more attractive. We see news moving stocks every day, so it pays to be up to speed."

About Alliance News

Founded in 2013, Alliance News is a new company with an old mission: to report on companies, markets and economics for UK investors and their advisers at the same pace as finance itself operates.

We uncover news and check facts while there is still money to be made.

There is a lot of business news around, but much of it is of little use at the point of trade. It may be too late. Too long to read when time is short. Or flat out wrong. It also tends to be about the same well-known companies over and over again.

The ALLNewsTeam brings well over 50 years of financial news and technology experience to bear on the problem. We've experienced firsthand what works and what doesn't.

Our reporters and editors focus on speed and accuracy. We are new but already are building a reputation for reliability. We cover smaller UK companies that make better investments than newspaper headlines, while not neglecting FTSE 100 stocks or the wider global economy.

We also know that if you can't find a story, or didn't see it because there was too much headline clutter, it may as well not have been written. Sensible content tagging - including identifying the primary company mentioned in a news story - is central to our editorial policy.

Our London Newsroom is here to serve the financial community. Please contact us and let us know what you think.
