Managing investments across multiple brokerages has always been painful. Exporting CSV files, wrestling with formatting, and re-importing every time something changes—it's tedious, error-prone, and never up to date. Today that's over. We're launching automatic brokerage sync, powered by Plaid—the same secure infrastructure used by Venmo, Coinbase, and thousands of financial apps.

The Problem: Manual Portfolio Tracking Is Broken

Until now, getting your portfolio into any tracking tool required manual work. Log in to each brokerage. Find the export button (different for every platform). Download a CSV. Upload it. Hope the format is compatible. Repeat every time you make a trade, receive a dividend, or want an updated picture.

The result? Most investors either track stale data or give up entirely. Your portfolio tracker shows last week's positions. Your risk metrics are calculated on outdated holdings. And the AI analysis you rely on is working with incomplete information.

The Solution: Connect Once, Auto-Sync Forever

With automatic brokerage sync, you connect your accounts once and your portfolio stays current. New trades, dividend payments, cash movements—everything flows in automatically. No exports, no uploads, no manual reconciliation.

STEP 1

Connect

Click “Connect Brokerage” and search for your institution

STEP 2

Authenticate

Log in through Plaid's secure window—we never see your credentials

STEP 3

Auto-Sync

Your portfolio stays up to date automatically—no manual work required

What Gets Synced

Auto-sync pulls comprehensive data from your brokerage accounts, giving Portfolio Genius a complete and current picture of your investments:

Holdings

Current positions, share quantities, and cost basis for every security in your account

Transactions

Buys, sells, dividends, interest, and fee activity across your accounts

Cash Balances

Available cash, settled funds, and pending transactions in each account

AI-Ready Data

Live data means your AI advisor works with real, current holdings—not stale exports

2,400+ Supported Institutions

Security & Privacy

We know trust matters when it comes to financial data. Auto-sync is built on Plaid—a regulated financial infrastructure provider used by thousands of apps and trusted by millions of users. Here's what that means in practice:

Credentials Never Stored

Your brokerage username and password are entered directly into Plaid's secure interface. Portfolio Genius never sees, stores, or has access to your login credentials.

Bank-Level Encryption

All data in transit and at rest is encrypted with AES-256—the same standard used by banks and government agencies.

Read-Only Access

Portfolio Genius receives read-only data. We can see your holdings and transactions, but we can never execute trades, move money, or make changes to your accounts.

Trusted Infrastructure

Plaid is the same technology behind Venmo, Coinbase, Betterment, and thousands of other financial apps you already use.

What Changes for Existing Users

Nothing breaks. If you're currently tracking your portfolio via CSV import, that continues to work exactly as before. Auto-sync is an additional way to get your data in—not a replacement. You can even use both: auto-sync for your primary brokerage and CSV for any accounts that aren't supported.

The main difference you'll notice is a new “Connect Brokerage” option when creating or editing a portfolio. Premium subscribers will see this alongside the existing CSV upload and screenshot options.

What's Next: AI Meets Live Data

Auto-sync isn't just about convenience—it fundamentally improves the quality of AI analysis. When your AI advisor works with live, complete data instead of stale CSV snapshots, the recommendations are more accurate, more timely, and more actionable.

With continuously synced portfolios, your AI advisor can:

  • React to new trades—Spot concentration risk as soon as you add a position, not days later when you remember to re-export your CSV
  • Track dividend income—Accurate dividend tracking with real payment dates and amounts flowing in automatically
  • Generate timely suggestions—Trade suggestions based on your actual current holdings, not a stale snapshot from last week
  • Monitor allocation drift—Catch portfolio drift in real time and recommend rebalancing when it matters

Frequently Asked Questions

How does automatic brokerage sync work?

You click Connect, authenticate directly with your brokerage through Plaid's secure interface, and your portfolio syncs automatically. Holdings, transactions, and cash balances stay up to date without any manual work.

Is auto-sync safe? Does Portfolio Genius store my brokerage credentials?

No. Your login credentials are never stored by Portfolio Genius. All authentication happens through Plaid, which uses AES-256 bank-level encryption. We only receive read-only access to your holdings data—we can never execute trades on your behalf.

Which brokerages are supported?

Over 2,400 financial institutions are supported, including Chase, Fidelity, Charles Schwab, Vanguard, Robinhood, E*TRADE, Interactive Brokers, Merrill Lynch, Wells Fargo, TD Ameritrade, SoFi, Webull, and many more.

Do I need a Premium subscription for auto-sync?

Yes, automatic brokerage sync is available to Premium subscribers ($20/month). Free and Lite users can still import portfolios via CSV upload or screenshot extraction.
