If we could use one word to describe our hope for the Urvin platform, it would be “friendly.” 

• User-friendly 

• Investor-friendly

• Data-friendly 

What can we say? We just like people. 

And that’s exactly why we want you to have an intuitive platform at your fingertips, one that connects the dots between your investments and your ambitions, between your communities, and your quest to learn more. 

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be rolling out a series of features offering a closer look at each of the Urvin platform’s unique features. We’re calling our new series Feature Features. 

(We tossed around a few better series titles, but…well…here we are.)

Our goal, as always, is to keep things super friendly and super informative by giving you the lowdown on each platform feature:

• What it is; 

• How it works; 

• What you can do with it; and 

• What makes it so cool.

Think of this as the user’s manual for your Urvin vehicle. Now let's hit the road.

The News Component

What it Is

The News Component is a window into the day’s top headlines, served four ways. Toggle between the top stories based on your personal interests, your Watchlist, your Portfolio, and stories we think you might be interested in.

Where It Is

Just below the Short Metrics Component on your Hub.

How It Works

Our news aggregator pulls in stories from over 9,000 different sources, giving you a constantly updating panorama of the day in market events. Your News Component spotlights the stories you care about. And every stock-related headline also comes with a Ticker Tab so you can see market movement alongside news events in real time.

What You Can Do With It

View your News stories at a glimpse, four different ways:

See the most recent stories selected For You, based on your preferred business sectors.

See the most recent stories based on the tickers saved in your Watchlist.

See the most recent stories based on the tickers in your Portfolio.

Explore the most recent stories on things we think you might care about.

Click “Add to Workspace” to Bookmark news items.

Repost or share articles in the Urvin Community.

Read the whole news story.

Use our tags to find other articles about the same company, topic, or industry; or check out other stories from the same news outlet.

Add any Ticker Tab to your Portfolio. Just hit the (+).

Add any Ticker Tab to your Watchlist. Just hit the (*).

Use the “Go To News” shortcut to visit your News portal, where you can see everything, all the time, all at once.

Why It’s So Cool

The News Component gives you four ways to browse today’s events without leaving your Hub. Or you can use the New Component as a shortcut to your full news portal—a wall to wall look at everything happening in the markets and the world, tailored to your personal interests.

And because all of our news stories come with tickers, you can make meaningful connections between the news of the day and what's happening in your watchlist, portfolio, and beyond.
