The app is available free in the App Store and can be used by subscribers to eVestment Analytics. The eVestment for iPad app provides institutional investors and consultants, asset managers and hedge fund managers with access to manager research, due diligence, interactive charting and more wherever and whenever needed.

"Generally, my iPad is always with me, so I can always pull up the eVestment app," says Stephen Gargano, senior research consultant with NEPC. "In meetings, if someone asks about a manager or some data, I use the eVestment for iPad app to look the information up right then. It's great for on-the-fly look-ups and research."

"In addition to allowing our clients to quickly access key data points or create compelling presentations while out and about, the app allows users to conduct deeper research that can be hard to find time for, so it's perfect during down time on a train ride home or a plane ride across the county," said eVestment Co-Founder and COO Matt Crisp. "We know our clients are busy and how much they rely on our data and analytics to make smart investment decisions and we believe this new app helps make that job easier."

In addition to accessing analytics and data anywhere, the eVestment team listened to clients to determine other ways they would want to use the new iPad app. As a result, additional key features include the ability to:

• Browse universes or search for products based on asset class, investment focus, strategy and geographic focus;
• Leverage statistical tables and charts to do ad hoc comparison analysis relative to industry benchmarks;
• Follow specific products where clients may have asset exposure;
• Search for a manager's physical address through the in-app map;
• Seamlessly add firm details to your devices contacts;
• Access the eVestment blog for news and insight about the industry.
