Bar and column charts
Bar charts and column charts are used to compare data across different categories, such as sales or costs, or to express change over time, such as price movements over a given period. The only difference is that the bar chart is presented horizontally (with values on the x-axis and categories on the y-axis) while the column chart is represented vertically (with values on the y-axis and categories on the x-axis).
The length of each bar displays a quantity, making comparison easy for the user.
There are four types of bar / column charts available:
• Simple bar / column charts - are good for comparing one or many value sets, and they can easily show the low and high values in the data sets.
• Simple stacked bar / column charts - place each value for the segment after the previous one. The total value of the bar is all the segment values added together. Ideal for comparing the total amounts across each group/segmented bar.
• 100% stacked bar / column charts - show the percentage-of-the-whole of each group and are plotted by the percentage of each value to the total amount in each group. This makes it easier to see the relative differences between quantities in each group.
• Upside / downside capture charts - this type is used to show whether a given fund has outperformed – gained more or lost less than – a broad market benchmark during periods of market strength and weakness, and if so, by how much.

Paragraph width column chart
This appearance is best used for insights pages / detailed educational pages where you need to pull in supporting data in-line to the subject matter.
NOTE - Column / bar width is dynamically generated as a percentage of the chart width divided by the number of data points. Therefore, the paragraph appearance is best for a chart with a small number of data points. It is important to always test the appearance of your chart before publishing to ensure chart readability and visual appeal.
Allocations subject to change.
Negative weightings may result from specific circumstances (including timing differences between trade and settle dates of securities purchased by the funds) and/or the use of certain financial instruments, including derivatives, which may be used to gain or reduce market exposure and/or risk management.
Full width column chart
This appearance is best used for insights pages / detailed educational pages where you need to pull in supporting data in-line to the subject matter.
NOTE - As with the paragraph appearance, column / bar width is dynamically generated as a percentage of the chart width divided by the number of data points. The full width appearance is great for a chart with a large number of data points, or when the chart should be the main visual focus of the section. Again, it is important to always test the appearance of your chart before publishing to ensure chart readability and visual appeal.

Resilient assets in an environment of uncertainty max out at seventy
The coronavirus outbreak is set to deliver a sharp and deep economic shock. Market moves are reminiscent of the 2008 crisis, but we don’t think this is a repeat. String some containment and social distancing policies will bring economic activity to a near standstill, but provided aggressive fiscal and monetary policy actions are taken for business.

Key points
Use this option to highlight a few key points next to a chart or datapoint. This option works well if there are points or implications that might not be obvious from the chart itself and need to be called out. You can also use this area to cite related data from other sources.
PRO TIP: this appearance should not be used when you have a lot of data to compare as it will become illegible and difficult for the user to interpret.

Money is the main cause of stress in the UK
Every year, we ask people from all over the world, including UK, how they think and feel about their financial health. This year, we went deeper than ever to understand the connection between your wealth and well-being. And why you feel the way you do.
Nearly half of those surveyed said that money is a major cause of stress. The figure increases to two-thirds among those without savings or investments. Respondents with savings are less likely to be stressed about money...
…and respondents with investments are even less likely to be stressed.
