How Do You Handle International Securities?
If you trade international stocks on IBKR, keep these tips in mind. The process differs from US-only brokers like Vanguard or Schwab—see our guide on tracking your Vanguard portfolio for a comparison.
Use ADR tickers when available
For foreign stocks with US ADRs (like TSM for Taiwan Semiconductor), use the ADR ticker for easier tracking.
Remove exchange suffixes
IBKR uses suffixes like ".L" for London or ".DE" for Frankfurt. When adding to Portfolio Genius, use just the base ticker.
Convert to USD basis
For accurate portfolio analysis, convert your cost basis to USD using the exchange rate at purchase.
Options and Complex Positions
Portfolio Genius focuses on stock and ETF positions. If you have options positions in IBKR, track them separately or consider the delta-equivalent stock exposure for portfolio analysis.
Automated Tracking Alternative: Alpaca Integration
While IBKR offers powerful data export, you may want automatic syncing. Consider complementing your IBKR account with an Alpaca brokerage account for AI-automated trading that syncs automatically with Portfolio Genius. Our multi-broker portfolio consolidation guide explains how to bring IBKR, Alpaca, and other accounts together in one view.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Interactive Brokers have a built-in portfolio analysis tool?
Yes, Interactive Brokers offers PortfolioAnalyst, a free tool available through Client Portal that provides performance reporting, allocation analysis, risk measures, and benchmark comparisons. It supports numerous performance and measurement factors, including performance attribution, projected income, and tax planning tools.
How do I export my Interactive Brokers positions to CSV?
In Client Portal, go to Performance & Reports and select either Activity Statements for a standard export or Flex Queries for a customized export. Choose CSV as the format, select your date range (limited to one year per file), and run the export. Flex Queries give you the most control over exactly which data fields are included.
Can I track my IBKR portfolio alongside accounts at other brokers?
PortfolioAnalyst does support linking some external accounts, but the experience is limited. For a more seamless multi-broker view with AI-powered analysis, you can export your IBKR activity statement as a CSV and upload it to a tool like Portfolio Genius alongside exports from Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard, or any other broker.
What is a Flex Query in Interactive Brokers?
A Flex Query is an IBKR feature that lets you create highly customized reports by selecting specific data fields, date ranges, and formats. This is more flexible than the standard activity statement and is especially useful for exporting detailed trade history, cash transactions, or dividend data in CSV format for analysis in external tools.
Is PortfolioAnalyst free to use?
Yes, PortfolioAnalyst is completely free for all IBKR clients. It includes a real-time reporting dashboard, allocation goal monitoring, retirement planning tools, tax planning features, and budgeting tools. While it is one of the more comprehensive built-in broker tools available, investors seeking AI-driven insights may still benefit from supplementing it with a dedicated portfolio tracker.
