It looks at your asset allocation, sector weightings, and measures your performance against benchmarks and industry indexes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To use<strong> Portfolio X-ray<\/strong>, you first need to have set up your investment accounts. Be sure you are tracking your full portfolio. <strong>Portfolio X-ray<\/strong> is most useful when you have all of your information. You should then navigate to the <strong>Portfolio X-Ray<\/strong> tab and select the <strong>Get Started<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Asset Allocation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"text-align: center; padding-bottom: 20px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quicken.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Asset-Allocation.png\" alt=\"Asset Allocation text page display\" width=\"607\" height=\"822\"><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Asset Allocation<\/strong> analysis will show you what areas you put your investments in, such as <strong>Cash<\/strong>, <strong>US Stocks<\/strong>, <strong>Non-US Stocks<\/strong>, <strong>Bonds<\/strong>, and other investments. Based on that information, it will let you know if your asset allocation is considered conservative, moderate, or aggressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">World Regions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know where you are investing, geographically, <strong>World Regions<\/strong> shows you, whether it is the Americas, Europe, or Asia. You can also see whether you are investing in developed markets or emerging markets. The <strong>Portfolio X-ray<\/strong> evaluates these positions and indicates if it considers you to have a high exposure in a particular region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stock Sectors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Stock Sectors analysis is great for identifying areas where your investments are concentrated. The <strong>Portfolio X-ray <\/strong>also identifies whether the areas you invest in are <strong>Cyclical <\/strong>(highly influenced by business cycles), <strong>Sensitive <\/strong>(moderate correlation to business cycles), or<strong> Defensive <\/strong>(anti-cyclical). It will also identify areas where you have high or low exposure, and let you compare yourself with either a similar investment style or the <strong>S&amp;P 500<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stock Style &amp; Bond Style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"text-align: center; padding-bottom: 20px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quicken.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Stocks.png\" alt=\"Stock Style &amp; Bond Style text page display \" width=\"611\" height=\"816\"><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stock Style<\/strong> creates a table showing where your investments land on <strong>Capitation Size <\/strong>(small, medium, large) and <strong>Investment Style <\/strong>(Value, Blend, Growth). You can see what your exposures are versus the broader market and determine your current portfolio style. The<strong> Bond Style <\/strong>section has a similar table based on <strong>Interest Rate Sensitivity <\/strong>(Limited, Moderate, Extensive) and <strong>Quality <\/strong>(Low, Medium, High)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stock Stats &amp; Bond Stats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This<strong> Stock Stats<\/strong> section takes a look at your portfolio versus <strong>Benchmark <\/strong>on the following categories: <strong>Price\/Earnings<\/strong>, <strong>Price\/Book<\/strong>, <strong>Return on Assets (ROS)<\/strong>, <strong>Return on Equity (ROE)<\/strong>, and <strong>Average Market Cap<\/strong>. The <strong>Bond Stats<\/strong> section looks at <strong>Effective Duration <\/strong>and <strong>Effective Maturity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stock Type<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stock Type <\/strong>shows you your stocks by company type. This helps you to determine the diversity level of your portfolio. You may, for example, find that you have a high amount of investments in <strong>Hard Assets<\/strong>, which are generally associated with mining and metals, or <strong>Speculative Growth<\/strong>, which are companies with high volatility that can have a chance to grow dramatically or but also a chance to collapse entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stock Intersection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Stock Intersection<\/strong> tab provides a view of the underlying holdings in your portfolio, displayed by <strong>% of Investments<\/strong>, <strong>Holding Portfolio Date<\/strong>, and <strong>Sector<\/strong>. This gives you an overview of where your investments are, especially within mutual funds and ETFs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mac\">Simple Investment Tracking lets us bring more brokerages to you (Mac)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key features we\u2019ve been working on for you is better access to investment institutions. With our next release, we will be introducing access to a new set of brokerages that use <strong>Simple Investment Tracking<\/strong>. This is a way of tracking your investments that is already available as an option for existing brokerage accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"float: right; padding: 0px 0px 20px 20px; width: 400px; height: 267px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quicken.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/investments.png\" alt=\"chalkboard drawing of a bar graph with the tallest, most right column topped with a flower with a hand watering it\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\"><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, these brokerages will be made available to you using <strong>Early Access<\/strong>. <strong>Early Access <\/strong>is our tool for introducing new features that are still having the finishing touches added, but are ready for users to try out. You can opt into or out of <strong>Early Access<\/strong> by going to <strong>Quicken <\/strong>menu \u2192 <strong>Preferences <\/strong>and enabling <strong>Early Access<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Simple Investment Tracking<\/strong> tracks positions rather than individual transactions. Our new method for contacting brokerages downloads data from websites rather than using <strong>Direct Connect<\/strong>. It provides less detail than complete tracking but will allow us to eventually work with over 700 additional brokerages. This includes many established brokerages that we couldn\u2019t work with before, as well as newer, non-traditional types of brokerages that have not been available using our other methods of downloading information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some examples of brokerages we expect to add soon. Please note that this is not an endorsement of these brokerages, just some examples of what is coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Robinhood <\/strong>is a brokerage that allows users to buy stocks without commission. While traditional stocks are offered, some of the nontraditional aspects of the <strong>Robinhood <\/strong>service include partial share purchases, ETFs, cryptocurrencies, and access to IPOs that are often not available from traditional brokerages. This opens up many opportunities for smaller investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wealthfront <\/strong>is another brokerage we anticipate adding. <strong>Wealthfront <\/strong>is an automated investing service that is sometimes called a <em>robo-advisor.<\/em> Wealthfront allows its customers to build portfolios that are curated according to their needs and strategy. This includes portfolios that are tailored to individual goals such as retirement planning, college savings, and socially responsible investing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A third brokerage that we expect to add is <strong>Fundrise<\/strong>. <strong>Fundrise <\/strong>is an investment company focused on real estate holdings. Investors can take part in the real estate market with a low cost of entry into the market. Instead of buying real estate individually, investors pool their assets. Fundrise&#8217;s main products are real estate investment trusts (REITs) that focus on income-producing real estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just a few examples of the brokerages that will be available because of <strong>Simple Investment Tracking<\/strong>. Not all brokerages will be added at once, but more will appear with each new release as Quicken verifies that we can correctly download and report their investment information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":812,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"Quicken Product Highlights November 2021 | Quicken","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-how-to"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.quicken.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/QuickenProductHighlights_3.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quicken.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quicken.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quicken.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quicken.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quicken.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=807"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.quicken.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/807\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4493,"href":"https:\/\/www.quicken.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/807\/revisions\/4493"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quicken.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/812"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quicken.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quicken.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quicken.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
