The Investments tab gives you a portfolio-level view of everything your client has invested. You'll find it under Planning > Investments inside any client file. It shows weighted expense ratios, dividend yields, and five allocation charts that break down the portfolio by asset class, tax status, market cap, region, and sector.
This is where you go to spot concentration risk, evaluate costs, and have informed conversations about how a client's money is actually positioned.
Portfolio Metrics
At the top of the page, three metric cards give you a quick snapshot:
Expense Ratio — The weighted average expense ratio across all displayed holdings, plus the estimated annual cost in dollars.
Dividend Yield — The weighted average dividend yield, plus the estimated annual income in dollars.
Total Portfolio Value — The combined balance of all accounts currently shown (changes if you filter accounts).
These numbers update automatically based on which accounts you're viewing. If you filter to a subset of accounts, the metrics reflect only that subset.
View Modes: By Account vs. By Goal
Two buttons at the top let you switch how the page is organized:
By Account — The default view. Shows every investment account with its balance, expense ratio, dividend yield, and percentage of the total portfolio. Accounts are sorted largest to smallest.
By Goal — Groups accounts by the financial goals they're assigned to. Instead of "% of Portfolio" and "Balance," you'll see "% of Goal" and "Allocated." This view only works if you've created goals and assigned accounts to them in the Goals tab.
In the By Goal view, select a goal from the dropdown to see which accounts fund it. If an account is split between multiple goals, the allocated amount reflects only the portion assigned to that goal.
Account Filtering
The account filter lets you control which accounts appear on the page. By default, investment accounts are shown. You can toggle additional account types on or off:
Investment — Included by default. Brokerage accounts, retirement accounts, etc.
Bank — Savings and checking accounts. Off by default.
Property — Real estate holdings. Off by default.
Annuity — Annuity contracts. Off by default.
Business — Business interests. Off by default.
Click the filter dropdown to check or uncheck account groups. Use the Only button next to a group to quickly isolate just that type. The portfolio metrics and allocation charts update to reflect whatever accounts are currently selected.
Account Table
Each account shows up as a row with:
Account name and subtype (e.g., "Schwab Brokerage · Taxable")
Dividend Yield — Weighted average across that account's holdings
Expense Ratio — Weighted average across that account's holdings
% of Portfolio — How much of the total displayed portfolio this account represents
Balance — The account's total value
Click the arrow on any account to expand it and see the individual holdings underneath. You can also use the Expand All / Collapse All button to open or close every account at once.
Clicking an account name opens the account editor in the Profile tab, where you can update holdings, change the balance type, or adjust account details.
Allocation Charts
Below the account table, five charts break down the portfolio from different angles. Each chart reflects the accounts currently shown (respecting your filters and view mode).
Asset Class
A pie chart showing how the portfolio is distributed across asset classes:
US Stock, Non-US Stock, Bond, Cash, Other, Real Estate, Annuity, Business, Crypto
Anything without classification data shows as "Unclassified." This is the most commonly used chart for evaluating a client's overall mix.
Tax Status
Shows the portfolio split by tax treatment:
Taxable — Brokerage and other taxable accounts
Tax Deferred — Traditional IRAs, 401(k)s, etc.
Tax Free — Roth IRAs, Roth 401(k)s, HSAs, etc.
This is useful for conversations about tax-efficient withdrawal strategies and Roth conversion planning.
Market Cap
Breaks down equity holdings by company size:
Mega, Large, Medium, Small, Micro
Helps you see if a client is overconcentrated in large-cap stocks or missing small-cap exposure.
Region
An interactive map plus a legend table showing geographic allocation:
North America, Europe Developed, Europe Emerging, Asia Developed, Asia Emerging, Japan, United Kingdom, Australasia, Latin America, Africa/Middle East
Each region shows both a percentage and a dollar amount. The map highlights regions by concentration, so heavy allocations are easy to spot visually.
Holdings from non-U.S. exchanges are automatically unclassified at this time. If you see a large "Unclassified" slice, that's likely the reason.
Sector
Shows the portfolio's industry exposure:
Technology, Financial Services, Industrials, Consumer Cyclicals, Healthcare, Communication Services, Consumer Defensive, Basic Materials, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate
This chart is helpful for identifying sector concentration. If 40% of a client's portfolio is in Technology, that's a conversation worth having.
Ticker Detail
Click any ticker symbol in the holdings table to open a detail panel with more information about that security. What you see depends on whether it's a stock, ETF, or mutual fund:
Price chart — 3-month price history with a visual trend line
52-week range — Where the current price sits between the yearly high and low
Key metrics — Market cap, P/E ratio, and EPS for stocks. Expense ratio, net assets, and 1/3/5-year returns for funds. Holdings count, total assets, and beta for ETFs.
Sector breakdown — For funds and ETFs, shows the top sectors the fund is invested in
Top holdings — For funds and ETFs, lists the largest individual positions
Description — A brief summary of what the security is
This is useful during meetings when a client asks "what is this fund?" or you want to quickly check a holding's expense ratio or recent performance.
Exporting Holdings Data
Click the Export button at the top of the page to download a CSV file of all currently displayed holdings. The export includes account names, ticker symbols, quantities, prices, values, expense ratios, and dividend yields. It respects your current filters, so you can export a subset of accounts if needed.
Using This Tab in Client Conversations
The Investments tab is built for the conversations you're already having with clients. Here are a few ways to use it:
Cost review — Pull up the expense ratio metric and walk through which accounts are driving costs. Sort through the holdings to find high-fee funds.
Concentration check — Use the Asset Class and Sector charts to show clients where they're overweight. A visual is worth more than a spreadsheet.
Geographic diversification — The Region map makes international allocation tangible. Clients can see exactly how much (or how little) exposure they have outside North America.
Tax location — The Tax Status chart helps frame conversations about which account types hold which investments, and whether there's an opportunity to improve tax efficiency.
Goal alignment — Switch to By Goal view to show a client exactly which accounts are funding their retirement, education, or other goals, and how those specific accounts are allocated.
