What it does
YCharts combines financial data, charts, portfolio analysis and proposal tools for investment research and client reporting. Its subscriptions separate securities analysis from advisor presentation tools, with a free trial offered before purchase.
Match the subscription to the work
| Service | Main emphasis |
|---|---|
| Analyst | Stock and fund screens, comparison tables and time-series analysis |
| Presenter | Branded proposals, model portfolios and custodian integrations |
| Professional | Portfolio optimization, scenarios, custom benchmarks and an Excel add-in |
For an advisor, the report tools connect a portfolio comparison to the client presentation. Analysts can instead concentrate on securities, economic datasets and custom dashboards.
