Investment Portfolio Software

[jd990]

Is there a portfolio management software which allows the user to download data from the Thrift Savings Plan and Treasury Direct Online? The “Vanguard Portfolio Watch” can successfully link to the above accounts but it is not able to correctly determine the portfolio allocation for these outside investments.

Quicken does both. The upgrade fee every three years bugged me so I pretty much left them. Some web sites I found are jemstep and personal capital which are free.

I have used Personal Capital and I think it can link to Thrift Savings Plans.
I also use Vanguard Portfolio Watch, but was unaware that it can link to any account outside of Vanguard. I can key in outside investments manually.

Can you explain about how Portfolio Watch links to outside accounts?

I've kept an older version of Quicken (2003, I think) going ever since they started forcing upgrades. It works fine for tracking transactions and the like.

For rebalancing and expense tracking, I set up a fairly simple Excel spreadsheet. Over the years I've had the fun of watching the aggregate ER of my holdings drop from about 0.5 to 0.17 percent-- and still falling. Now that's entertainment!
