Looking for the right portfolio tracker

[MoMan]

Many years ago I religiously tracked all my finances on Quicken. I can't remember why I stopped, and am considering using it again. I need a big picture something or other to periodically tally up my net worth.

I really want a simple interface where I can MANUALLY enter the number of shares I own (mutual funds) and my current bank balances. I do NOT want to link my accounts to a third party (I use 2-factor authentication wherever possible, plus I do not trust any level of security when it comes to my investments). I've tried Mint, but I couldn't manually update investments. T. Rowe Price had a great service that worked really well for me, FuturePath, but they discontinued it a couple of years ago. I read MMM's articles on Personal Capital, BetterMent and Mint, but I believe they all rely on linked accounts.

I suspect that an Excel spreadsheet would do the trick, but I don't do Excel.

I'm 58 and retired, so I'm not adding new investments, just tracking what I already have. I have accounts at Vanguard, T. Rowe Price, a 401(k), HSA and a couple of bank accounts.

So is Quicken what I need?

A lot of investors I know, who do not use Quicken, use Investment Account Manager from Quant IX Software.  (And, some who do use Quicken, too)

It is actually more expensive than Quicken itself, but of course more feature-full.  If you are familiar with Quicken, then that could work for you, too.  Although, that's leaving a lot of Quicken's capabilities fallow.

It is possible to have Quicken import transactions from your accounts, but then you can confirm each.  That saves some typing.  I do manually enter all my transactions, though: I don't like how some brokers handle their cash accounts, moving money in and out of a MM account to cash.  It also prompts me to review capital gains, portfolio allocation, etc.

I suspect that an Excel spreadsheet would do the trick, but I don't do Excel.

I use Google Sheets.  With a stock, ETF or fund symbol, it has a function to look up the (15 min delayed) price.  I enter the number of shares, the cost, and can calculate profit and current value from the price.

When I invested passively, I didn't even display performance in my spreadsheet.  Instead, I displayed the percentage of various categories.  I tracked when to rebalance, but tried not to focus on performance (that has changed for me, but I assume you're investing passively)

Thanks for this!  I did not realize there was a function that could do this.

You can do this with GnuCash.

You can do this with Plan Vision's tool. They do fee-only financial planning, and you can use their tool to enter everything manually. It's a nice tool - apparently, the same backend that Fidelity uses, called eMoney.

You pay $239 for the first year, including a Zoom consultation on the retirement projections, cash flow, taxes, etc. And then it's $8 per year month thereafter.

Thanks for the reminder -- I've been meaning to check this out.  Also, I believe it's $8 per MONTH (or $96 per year) for subsequent years.  Still quite affordable.

I use Morningstar's portfolio tracker

Yes, sorry, brain fade. $8 per month is correct.

I use portfolioperfotmance, a free opensource java application for several years now.

I've used Yahoo Finance for a long time.
Over the years I've tried others (morningstar, google finance, etc.) they do the exact same as yahoo finance so I've just stuck with YF... but would be open to switch if there was a free product that offered more than YF.

The one issue I have with yahoo finance as my portfolio tracker is I can't add the mutual funds held in my group employer retirement plan... I can't seem to find a ticker symbol or search on these portfolio trackers to use. If anyone has had success with this, I'm all ears!
