| Price | Current price per share | Current valuation |
| Market Value | Total position value | Portfolio allocation |

How to Keep Your Schwab Portfolio in Sync
Without direct API integration, here's how to keep your data current:
Update after trades
When you buy or sell in Schwab, update the corresponding position in Portfolio Genius to keep your analysis accurate.
Account for dividends
If you reinvest dividends, remember to update share quantities when dividends are reinvested.
Quarterly reconciliation
Re-export your Schwab positions quarterly and compare with Portfolio Genius to catch any discrepancies.
Automated Tracking Alternative: Alpaca Integration
For automatic portfolio syncing and direct trade execution, you can complement your Schwab account with an Alpaca brokerage account. Many investors use both:
- Schwab for retirement accounts (IRA, 401k) and existing investments
- Alpaca for new trading with full AI automation
- Portfolio Genius to see everything in one unified dashboard—learn more in our multi-broker portfolio consolidation guide
Accuracy Tip
When entering positions, use the exact values from your Schwab export. Pay special attention to cost basis—Schwab often tracks this at the tax lot level, so you may want to use the average cost basis for simplicity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I export my Charles Schwab positions to a CSV file?
Log into schwab.com, navigate to the Accounts tab and select History, choose your account and date range, then click the Export button and select CSV as the format. Note that Schwab limits each CSV download to 1,500 records, so for high-volume accounts you may need to break your exports into quarterly date ranges.
Does Schwab have a portfolio analysis tool?
Yes, Schwab offers Portfolio Checkup, which provides data on asset allocation, sector diversification, and equity concentration. It also includes a Goal Tracker for monitoring progress toward savings or income goals. For more advanced analytics like AI-driven recommendations and risk scoring, you can export your Schwab positions to a third-party analyzer like Portfolio Genius.
How do I track performance across my Schwab and other brokerage accounts?
Schwab's built-in tools only analyze assets held within Schwab. To see a consolidated view across multiple brokers, export your Schwab positions as a CSV and import them alongside exports from your other accounts into a multi-broker portfolio tracker for unified allocation analysis and performance insights.
What data is included in a Schwab CSV export?
Schwab's CSV export includes all your holdings such as stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, bonds, and options along with quantities, cost basis, and current market values. You can also export transaction history covering complete trade details, dividend payments, interest, fees, and account transfers.
Can I connect my Schwab account automatically to a portfolio tracker?
Some third-party portfolio trackers support automatic syncing with Schwab through aggregation services, but many investors prefer the CSV export method for greater control and privacy. CSV-based tools take just a few seconds to import and avoid sharing your login credentials with third-party aggregators.
