MSN says it has overhauled MSN Money with a few hefty sponsors helming the relaunch -- Citigroup, Scottrade, and Lending Tree.

MSN Money has added new sections, including a News Center that includes financial news from the likes of Forbes, BusinessWeek,Financial Times, and Expert pages. MSN says it has improved navigation so that consumers can more easily find the latest market news, investing tools, and other resources.

The MSN Money Experts section showcases the works of Jim Jubak, Jon Markman, Liz Pulliam Weston, and MP Dunleavey. Their pages contain links to recent columns, recommended reading lists, message boards, and their CNBC appearances. Expert Picks, available here, allows users to get a quick snapshot and a deeper view of how MSN Money investment columnists' stock portfolios are performing.

And, MSN has added tools to help facilitate answers from the experts. The new tool is called: ETF Center (Exchange Traded Funds), which offers consumers a hub to find, monitor, and chart action in these financial instruments.
