Is DeFolio for you?
DeFolio turns your DeGiro exports into a clear view of how your investments are really doing. Who it's for, and what it does and doesn't do.
It's for you if
- You keep your finances to yourself. Your portfolio is stored encrypted on your own device, not on our servers.
- You invest with DeGiro for the long term. In ETFs, stocks or both, with regular deposits or now and then.
- You want to know your real return. Your return per year, with every deposit, withdrawal, dividend and cost counted.
- You wonder if an index fund would have done better. DeFolio puts the same deposits into the MSCI World on paper and sets the result next to yours.
- You follow your dividends. See what came in, what's coming next and how much tax was withheld.
- You're done with spreadsheets. Or you never had an overview to begin with.
It's not for you if
- You trade every day. DeFolio isn't a live price feed. It values your portfolio from your own exports and trade prices, so there are no intraday charts or real-time quotes.
- You invest with more than one broker. DeFolio only reads DeGiro exports.
- You want tips on what to buy or sell. DeFolio shows what happened in your portfolio. The decisions stay yours.
- You want everything to sync by itself. DeFolio never connects to your DeGiro account. You export a few CSV files from DeGiro yourself whenever you want fresh numbers.
What DeFolio does
- Your net worth over time, your total profit and loss, and your return per year (CAGR), next to the MSCI World.
- Your return broken down into price and currency effects, dividends, interest, taxes and costs.
- Dividends per month and per year, the next expected payments, dividend per share and yield on cost.
- Deposits, withdrawals, costs and the cash you hold, over time.
- How your money is spread across regions and currencies, how concentrated it is, and your own strategy labels.
- Every position, open and closed, with its own return, and every transaction, to filter and download.
- A tax overview per year: your portfolio value on 1 January and the Dutch and foreign dividend tax withheld.
- A privacy mode that blurs your amounts, or swaps them for fake ones, when someone is looking over your shoulder.
- In English and Dutch, on your computer and your phone.
What DeFolio doesn't do
- It never asks for your DeGiro login, and it can't trade or move money.
- It doesn't store your portfolio on our servers. To look up prices and regions, our server only passes the ISINs of your holdings on, never amounts or transactions.
- It doesn't sync between devices. To use another one, import your files there or restore a backup.
- It doesn't give investment, tax or legal advice, and it doesn't file your tax return.
- It doesn't follow the market day by day. Between your trades and exports, values follow your own trade prices.
- It doesn't read exports from other brokers.
