Microsoft Has Shut Down Its MSN Money Portfolio Manager
Microsoft has officially discontinued the MSN Money investment portfolio manager, a tool that was once one of the most popular ways for investors to track stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds. If you previously relied on Microsoft’s portfolio tracker, you now need a modern, browser‑friendly alternative. EquityStat offers a powerful replacement with similar features — and far better compatibility.
Why Microsoft’s Portfolio Manager Stopped Working
Microsoft’s portfolio manager was built using Silverlight, a browser plugin that is no longer supported by most modern web browsers. Here’s what that means for investors:
- Safari does not support Silverlight, so the tool cannot run on iMacs or iPads
- Most modern browsers have removed plugin support entirely
- The portfolio manager no longer functions on Apple devices or many Windows systems
As a result, former MSN Money users can no longer access or update their portfolios.
EquityStat: A Modern Alternative to Microsoft’s Portfolio Manager
EquityStat is built using HTML, not Silverlight — meaning it works on virtually any device with a modern web browser.

You can use EquityStat on:
- Windows PCs and tablets
