Pictet Asset Management, part of the Swiss private bank Pictet & Cie, has launched a free mutual funds app for iPad, now available for download. 

The app - available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Chinese - provides access to a range of fund data, including prices, performance and risk, the firm said.

Users of the app can also monitor portfolio exposures while consulting interactive charts, with the option of customising its content via a search interface. The My Funds tool, for example, facilitates the consolidation of funds a user may want to track.

In addition, the app offers access to news, fund updates and short videos, with content also accessible offline.
