The gap

What your broker leaves to you

Your broker is built for trading. The return, the tax figure and the view across accounts are what you get here.

The Merrill Edge account links banking and investing, but not one portfolio return across other brokers.

Choose any start and end date. The dashboard recalculates capital gain, IRR and dividend yield for that period.

Merrill Edge statements cover Stocks, ETFs, Options, Bonds, Mutual Funds and CDs in USD for Individual and Guided Investing. They do not compare tax lots under several cost-basis methods.

The tax report calculates gains with FIFO, LIFO, HIFO or average cost.

Merrill Edge keeps Individual and Guided Investing among its 9 account types with Stocks and CDs among 6 asset types in USD. Holdings at another broker are outside that total.

Add the other accounts. The combined view totals them while keeping each account separate.

Trace dividend income from payment to forecast

Merrill Edge funds and shares can produce a steady calendar of dividend payments.

The report totals gross, withheld and net dividend income. It also shows payment history by company and a 12-month forecast.

Questions

Merrill Edge and AllInvestView, answered

How do I import my Merrill Edge portfolio into AllInvestView?
Export the transaction history as CSV and upload it. The review screen shows the mapped rows before anything is added.
Can AllInvestView track my Merrill Guided Investing portfolio?
Import the holdings and transaction history. The dashboard keeps each position separate and includes it in return, allocation and tax reports.
Is the Merrill Edge connection read only, and is it an aggregator?
There is no automatic connection for Merrill Edge yet. You export your transaction history and upload the file, so nothing of yours is ever logged into.
Does it show my options with Greeks?
Yes. Every open contract is listed with delta, gamma, theta, vega and rho, next to the price of its underlying, with the premium collected and the days left to expiry.
Which cost basis methods can I choose?
FIFO, LIFO, HIFO and average cost. You pick the method on the tax report and the whole report is recalculated, so you can see what each one would cost you before you sell.
How are several currencies handled?
Each position keeps the currency it was bought in. The portfolio is then valued in the base currency you choose, using the rate for the day, so the currency move is part of the return you read.
Can I bring years of history from a file?
Yes. Export the full transaction history from Merrill Edge and upload it. The importer reads the column layout, identifies the securities and shows every row for review before anything is saved, so your cost basis and your returns start from the complete record rather than from today.
What does the free plan cover?
One portfolio and 10 stock holdings, with no card. Bonds, options and custom assets are not counted against that. Broker sync, more portfolios and more holdings are on the paid plans.
