What We Analyze

Everything your advisor checks.
And everything they skip.

A full report, every section deeper than most advisors deliver in a year of quarterly meetings.

Why this report exists

Everything the quarterly PDF gave you. Plus everything it didn't.

This report started as a supplement to the one we got from a firm charging 1% of assets per year. Performance charts, contribution history, benchmark comparisons - the parts of the PDF that were actually useful. When we fired them, we lost that report and missed it. So we rebuilt it - sharper, faster, without the sales pitch buried inside. Then we added everything they skipped.

Ignored by most. Analyzed by us.

Hidden in Plain Sight

The expense ratio gap

Your advisor has you in funds charging 0.72%. Index funds tracking the same benchmark cost 0.03%. That gap compounds to six figures over your investment lifetime.

Nobody Checks This

Account-type mismatch

High-yield bonds in your taxable account? Growth stocks in your traditional IRA? The same fund in different account types has dramatically different after-tax returns.

The Silent Drag

Overlapping holdings

Three different funds that all hold the same top 50 stocks. You think you're diversified. You're paying three expense ratios for the same exposure.

The Expensive Default

401(k) fund choices

Your employer's 401(k) has 20 funds. The default target-date fund charges 0.45%. The S&P 500 index option charges 0.02%. We show you which actually make sense.

Section 01

Portfolio Overview

A snapshot of your entire household - total value, number of positions, Health Score (0–100), and cash drag percentage. Across every account, every holding.

Interactive charts. Asset allocation, geography, concentration. Not a single pie chart - a complete picture.

Your Health Score isn't a guess. It's weighted - alignment, fees, diversity - by how much each gap actually costs you in dollars.

Your Target Mix

Your Target Allocation 5 dimensions
US Stocks50%
International20%
Bonds20%
Real Assets5%
Cash5%
Adjust any slider - analysis recalculates in real time.

Your portfolio is analyzed across 5 independent dimensions - not just one allocation chart:

  • Asset Class Equities, bonds, real assets, commodities, alternatives, cash
  • Geography US, international developed, emerging markets
  • Market Cap Large, mid, small, micro
  • Style Growth vs. value vs. blend
  • Sector Tech, healthcare, financials, energy, and more

We generate a starting model based on your risk profile. Then you explore - adjust any target and watch the analysis recalculate in real time.

Section 03

Gap Analysis

Your current allocation vs. your target - visualized with grouped bar charts and gap tables showing exact dollar amounts for every category.

Tabbed views let you switch between all 5 dimensions. For each gap, we show how far off you are, in both percentage and dollars.

Not all gaps are equal - a 2% overweight in large-cap US equity matters less than a 2% gap in your bond allocation if you're 5 years from retirement. We flag the gaps that cost you the most first.

Advisory AUM fee + fund expense ratios, compounded.

A single hero number shows your estimated lifetime fee exposure. Then an itemized breakdown: advisory AUM fees and fund expense ratios - each with annual cost and compounding projections.

Projection bars show the fee impact at 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 years. This is usually the moment people realize what they've been paying.

We present it with the math, not with panic. A forward-path card shows what your data says you can do about it.

Section 05

Fund Cost Comparison

For every fund in your portfolio with a cheaper equivalent, we show you the alternative - side by side.

Not "consider low-cost index funds." Specific funds, specific tickers, specific expense ratios, and the 20-year savings for each swap. We have no financial relationship with any fund company.

Fund Alternatives $18,400 potential savings
Your Fund ER Alternative ER 20yr
PAVE 0.60% VIS (Vanguard) 0.10% $14,200
ARKK 0.75% VGT (Vanguard) 0.10% $4,200

Yields sourced from real market data, not estimates.

Unrealized gains and losses across every position. Your top contributors and detractors called out at the top.

Projected annual income from dividends and interest - sourced from real market yields, not back-of-envelope guesses. So you can see how much your portfolio actually pays you to hold it.

This is the performance section your old quarterly PDF nailed. We rebuilt it - sharper, and stripped out the sales pitch.

Section 07

Activity Summary

Every deposit, withdrawal, dividend, and fee since you connected your accounts - bucketed by month and charted against your current portfolio value.

For the first time, you can see what you've actually put in versus what you have today. Not what the brokerage app shows you on the homepage. The real number.

Fees are a separate bar. So is every dividend. No "miscellaneous activity" buckets hiding what's going on.

Dotted line: portfolio value. Bars: cash in, cash out.

Seasonal dividend patterns become obvious.

Time-weighted returns for each account in your portfolio. Taxable, IRA, 401(k), HSA, custodial - whatever you've got, broken out separately so you can see what's actually working.

Best and worst performer called out at the top. No more guessing which account is dragging the household down.

Monthly income shown as a bar chart, so the quarterly dividend pulse of your portfolio is visible at a glance. Useful when you're planning a year of cash flow.

Section 09

Benchmark Comparison

Your portfolio's actual return plotted against the S&P 500, a 60/40 blend, and the Bloomberg Aggregate Bond Index - over the same time window.

Then we tell you, in dollars, what the gap cost you (or earned you) relative to just buying the S&P 500. No spin.

Honest time periods only. Year-to-date. Prior calendar year. Since we started tracking your portfolio. No fabricated "10-year return" for an account we've only seen for six months. If we can't measure it, we don't show it.

Cumulative Return vs Benchmarks −$24,800 vs S&P

Cost of lagging: A simple S&P 500 position would have added $24,800 more over this window. That's the gap, in dollars.

#1 Priority
Sell PAVE → Buy VIS (Vanguard)
~$42,000 Saves $1,420/yr

This is where everyone else stops. Other tools show you charts and projections. Then they leave you thinking "okay, but what do I actually DO?"

  • Account & action Which account to act in, what to consider selling or buying
  • Specific funds Tickers and expense ratios, not generic recommendations
  • Dollar amounts & rationale Exactly how much, and exactly why
  • Action tags Each card tagged: allocation, fees, tax, simplification

This is the part that would cost you $25,000/year from an advisor. If they even gave it to you this specifically. Most don't.

Section 11

Execution Sequence

If you choose to act, here's how to sequence it. A week-by-week phased timeline:

Week 1

Deploy IRA Cash

No tax impact

Week 2

Simplify

Consolidate positions

Week 3

Diversify

Redeploy proceeds

Week 4

Verify

Confirm & document

IRA transactions first (no tax impact), then taxable account changes sequenced to minimize disruption. Each phase includes specific actions, accounts, and dollar amounts.

Section 12

Tax Considerations

Estimated Tax Impact Taxable account only
Estimated gains $42,000
Tax at bracket
15% (long-term) $6,300
20% (long-term) $8,400
23.8% (with NIIT) $9,996

Tip: Splitting sales across Dec/Jan could keep you in the 15% bracket. Estimated savings: $2,100

Not tax advice - data for your CPA conversation.

Estimated capital gains from taxable account changes, shown at multiple tax brackets (15%, 20%, and with NIIT at 23.8%). Plus specific strategies to consider:

  • Holding periods Verify long-term rates before selling
  • Year-splitting Spread sales across tax years if near a bracket threshold
  • Loss harvesting Identify positions with losses to harvest against gains
  • Contribution maximization Maximize retirement contributions to reduce AGI
  • Charitable giving Consider gifting appreciated shares instead of selling

This is not tax advice. We present the data so you can have an informed conversation with your tax professional.

AGG (Bond ETF) Taxable ⚠ Move to IRA
VNQ (REIT) Taxable ⚠ Move to IRA
VTI (US Equity) Taxable ✓ Optimal

Asset Location Optimization

It's not just what you own - it's where you own it. The same fund in a taxable account vs. an IRA can cost you thousands over time.

We analyze which of your holdings are tax-inefficient (high dividends, frequent distributions, bond funds) and flag when they're sitting in the wrong account type.

Then we show the optimal location for each asset class - and estimate how much you could save by reorganizing.

Section 15

Behavioral Insights

Your portfolio tells a story about how you invest - and sometimes reveals patterns you didn't know you had.

We detect common behavioral biases that cost investors money: home bias, recency bias, loss aversion, and familiarity bias.

We're not here to judge. These biases are human. But seeing them clearly is the first step to deciding whether to act on them.

Behavioral Flags 3 detected
Home Bias ⚠ High

92% US allocation vs. 60% global benchmark

Recency Bias ⚠ Detected

3 of top-5 holdings are 2023–2024 performers

Loss Aversion ⚠ Likely

2 positions held >18 months, each down 30%+

Familiarity Bias ✓ None

No single-stock concentration issues detected

Section 16
True Diversification Score Moderate

Holdings analyzed 14

True Diversification Score

Owning 20 funds doesn't mean you're diversified. If they all move together, you have complexity without benefit.

We calculate the correlation between your holdings and score your actual diversification - not just how many line items you have.

A portfolio of 5 uncorrelated assets can be more diversified than 50 tech stocks. We show you which one you have.

Section 17

Analysis Summary

A plain-language narrative of your portfolio findings. Not bullet points - full paragraphs explaining your portfolio composition, key findings, and important context.

Written so you can hand it to your spouse, your CPA, or read it yourself and understand exactly where you stand.

The language adapts to you. New to investing? We explain the basics. Experienced? We skip them. Your report speaks your language.
