About Ample
Ample is one of the UK's largest online investment communities. It has a new look site that brings together the functionality of Interactive Investor (www.iii.co.uk) and the transactional capability of Ample.
At Ample you have access to the highest standards of investment information and the most comprehensive range of management and transaction tools.
Ample was originally launched in June 2001 as an online investment service backed by the resources of the AMP Group. The site combines news and information content with the ability to buy and sell ISA funds online.
Interactive Investor was acquired by the AMP Group in August 2001, after identifying areas of potential synergy between Ample and Interactive Investor. The purchase took place based on integrating Interactive Investors’ content, user tools and customer base with Ample’s transactional, service and call centre capabilities.
