Hi Everyone,

For no reason given other than it looks like Yahoo portfolios are now charging a fee (?) , I have lost a one stop shop to see all my investments on one page.
I have investments in Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab, etc, and I manually put in all my accounts and investments into a Yahoo Portfolio I created (for past 10 years). At the end of every day I could see the profit or gain of each account, etc.

Can anyone recommend a free website, where you can list all your investments, and the equities bought in each of those accounts, that can be added/deleted as investments are sold and bought?

I'd so appreciate it...

Warmly,
Happily Retired

I use Fidelity Full View and Empower. Full View from time to time flakes out and Empower isn't perfect. But the combo that comes reasonably close gives m more confidence than just one tool

If your share amounts don't change, look at free google sheet method.

 

[ClarkeK]

I have multiple accounts and I use the DivTracker app. It's not free but not really expensive either, $11.99 per year.

My HSA is with Schwab and HSA Bank.

Interesting. Was it initially established through your employer? It might be that HSA Bank is really the issuer but has an arrangement with Schwab for you to invest. Does your HSA show up on your Schwab dashboard when you log in to Schwab?andle

While I have my Fidelity HSA's linked to Schwab it just pulls in the balances but not the securities that I have in my Fidelity HSA accounts.

I would live to find some tracking software but it seems that what is available handles stocks very well, but not bonds or preferreds. I'd love to find software that would handle bonds and preferred stocks.

I don’t mind most of my assets with one organization. But, I would also keep a significant ant amount of money with another organization, just in case a problem arises.

Suppose I have all my funds and investments with Blue Sky Investors LLC. Their computer system is attacked by agents of Upper Slobovia and brought down for days or even weeks. I may need to get to some of my money during that time. To protect myself I will have some funds with Rock Solid Investments just in case Blue Sky is corrupted for a while.

I also keep copies of my latest statements for “proof” of what I have at the investment house. How seriously, a court would take them I don’t know.

I've used SigFig for years and it still works for Schwab and Fidelity on Windows 10. I need to try it on Win11. It's really for investments and I basically do my bank accounts manually in the SigFig software.

Many online brokerage sites offer an API to query account data. I've played around with it to pull my share data automatically. If there is enough interest here I could work on making this more robust to support multiple brokerages and add a more user friendly interface.

 

[TheWizard]

I know a lot of folks like to do this sort of thing, but I'm not quite sure WHY. I did toy with a spreadsheet that updated ETF and MF values a few years back but then stopped doing it once I decided it was a waste of time.

I have my Roth IRA, tIRA, and taxable accounts at Vanguard and can access current values of those holdings with a thumb press on my smartphone app. Similarly with my remaining 403(b) holdings at TIAA.

It helps that my AA is 95+% stocks, no bond holdings, so I never need to rebalance.

If I'm curious how my various ETFs are performing, I go to etfreplay.com (or similar) and plot YTD total return of VOO, VGT, MGK, QQQ, VXF, etc. I don't need to know how many shares of each that I own.

When it comes to actionable events, such a spreadsheet wouldn't help.
I log into my Vanguard account to examine unrealized losses to decide whether to TLH.
I also log into my Vanguard account to set up limit orders to invest accumulated dividends and new money in taxable. Not at all clear how a spreadsheet listing my total portfolio would add value to that process.

So, maybe ponder your reasons for wanting to do this...

I use a google sheet and pull daily prices using google's =GOOGLEFINANCE(A1,"price") where a1 for example is VTI, other cells are my other holdings. I do have to manually adjust my numbers of shares as dividends are declared.

Thanks for the tip on GoogleFinance. Seems pretty easy to setup and use.

 

[Flyfish1]

I use my own spreadsheets. I refuse to use any kind of aggregator service for security reasons. Plus, some investments like real estate holdings aren't something a service could access.

I have a similar case. HSA set up via employer with Optum Bank. Can transfer anything in the HSA above $2k to an “investment area”. That investment area was originally administered by someone else, but now it’s Schwab.

Let’s say I have $52k in my HSA and have $50k of that in the investment area. Logging into my Schwab account, I see the HSA - with the $50k value, not the $52k total - listed along with my other Schwab accounts.

You would probably be better off putting everything at fidelity. But the trading account that's part of your HSA can live with Schwab. The bank part, in my case HSA bank, will not show but it is small. I just have one account at Schwab currently, the HSA. And I'm planning to move it to Fidelity where my DAF lives.

But, the rest of my stuff is E-Trade. Those hsas can be hard to consolidate unless you already have everything at Fidelity.

I don't try to link them, but I guess I could do so at Schwab. Not sure if you can at E-Trade.

 

[imjustawarrior]

I have everything at Fidelity, so it is easy.

As other people have mentioned, some assets don't show up or don't show up properly. I still have my 401k, which is CITs, and my NQDCP is a CIT (in ledger). Since the 401k and NQDCP are at Fidelity, Fidelity understands the CITs and categorizes them properly. Other sites could not do that.

I really like seeing all my investments on one screen. I can make sure everything is correct. For me, it is healthy to look often. I think I have become immune to large swings.

 

[Tetto]

I go through the Schwab app- shows everything in as much detail as is necessary for my edification.

You don’t understand why someone would want a total picture of their finances?

 

[TickTock]

I don't understand why someone would want a total picture of their finances every day, as mentioned in the original post. Well, I guess I do, but I think it's not helpful for managing the portfolio.

It’s a dashboard. It’s just so you know you’re on track. You don’t have to take action. Some, like myself, actually just enjoy it.

Quicken and my spreadsheet

 

[APP01]

Besides pulling most financial stuff into Quicken, like others, I have my own spreadsheet that I started in the mid 1980s, and it has evolved since.

Gives me a quick snapshot of everything. I find it relaxing to work with it.

 

[ls99]

Vanguard summary statement.
Then look at at my checkbook.

 

[jollystomper]

I use Quicken 2017 and a Google spreadsheet. The spreadsheet gives me a better breakdown of my AA across the accounts as I want to see it. I tried Empower but found too many inconsistencies for my liking.

 

[FD1000]

During the day I watch dozens of ETFs by using Yahoo. Still the best IMO. I have several lists.
Every evening Schwab shows me my total portfolio plus all funds. This is over 99% of all the money we have UP to date.
Basically, in one screen I see my aggregate 2-3 funds across all accounts and what % I own in each = KISS
Although I worked decades in IT, I never used spreadsheets or a budget for our investment. Schwab has all of the trade history. Why do I need a spreadsheet?
Why not a budget? because we pay off all our credit cards every month for decades.
I'm a trader but over 25 years, my portfolio has been concentrated in 5 funds from 2000-2018, and only 2-3 funds since then.
Schwab also supplies me with a 1099 for all my taxes. Why keep records of it?
I never understood why people use all these software programs and spend so much time. Schwab

Have you actually explored those API's? I haven't looked in a while, but what I found was that the brokerage sites send you to some third party if they allow access at all. Fidelity removed the half-"baked" download option, which didn't have enough information to make a statement. I asked them to provide a complete machine readable statement (not a machine printable PDF) and was ignored, after many attempts at getting the question answered. I finally resorted to parsing the PDF, but of course that only works once a month.

Some have dashboards, spreadsheets and models to look at. If someone asks a question I can refer to my schematic and construct an answer of some kind. Even more important is how I use these tools to communicate with my family about goals, strategy, and so on.

I also believe that what is measured is managed, so there's that. YMMV.
