Recently, Yahoo Finance has changed their investment portfolio manager. At one time Yahoo Finance portfolio manager was one of the best web portfolio managers. If you were a previous user of Yahoo Finance portfolio and are looking for an alternative, consider EquityStat’s portfolio manager.
EquityStat has many of the same features that the Yahoo Finance portfolio manager has. You can easily see the current value of your portfolio and individual investments based on the current stock price. Like Yahoo, EquityStat allows you to track and manage your stocks, mutual funds and ETFs investments.
There are a lot of differences between EquityStat’s and Yahoo’s portfolio manager too. Here are some of the features found in EquityStat’s portfolio manager that you won’t find in Yahoo’s portfolio manager.
- Easily see how your portfolio is performing.
At the top of your portfolio you can easily see your total portfolio value, the total return and the gain for the day. You don’t have to click around to find this information, it is the first thing you see when you login to your account. - Create Multiple Portfolios.
Separate your investments into multiple portfolios such as your personal portfolio and 401K. You can track the performance of each portfolio and track your account’s overall performance. - A lot less scrolling.
Our portfolio manager makes the most of your screen space. As you expand or contract your browser window your portfolio manager does too. No more scrolling around to see all of your portfolio’s data. - Performance calculations for each investment, your portfolios and the overall account.
