You can read about the similarities <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equitystat.com\/wordpress\/?p=13\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of differences between EquityStat&#8217;s and Microsoft&#8217;s portfolio manager\u00a0too. Here are some of the features found in EquityStat&#8217;s portfolio manager that you won&#8217;t find in Microsoft&#8217;s portfolio manager.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Easily see how your portfolio is performing.<br \/>\n<\/strong>At the top of your portfolio you can easily see your total portfolio value, the total return and the gain for the day.\u00a0 You don&#8217;t have to click around to find this information, it is the first thing you see when you login to your account.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Performance calculations for each\u00a0investment and the overall portfolio.<\/strong><br \/>\nFor each investment you can see the current market value, the overall gain of the investment, today&#8217;s gain, the annualized return and many more calculations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Easily view, add, edit and delete transactions for each investment.<br \/>\n<\/strong>All of your transactions for each investment are grouped together which you can easily view, add, edit and delete.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Filter out your sold investments.<br \/>\n<\/strong>Easily show and hide your sold investments which gives you a historical view of your portfolio or a view of your currently held investments.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change the columns displayed in your portfolio.<\/strong><br \/>\nAdd and remove the columns you want to display in your portfolio.\u00a0 For example, if you want to show an investment&#8217;s 52 week high or low you can easily add this data column to your portfolio.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A lot less scrolling.<\/strong><br \/>\nOur portfolio manager makes the most of your screen space.\u00a0 As you expand or contract your browser window your portfolio manager does too.\u00a0 No more scrolling around to see all of your portfolio&#8217;s data.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Import your investments from a spreadsheet or comma separated variable file (csv file).<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you have your investment transactions in a spreadsheet, you can easily import them into your portfolio without having to manually enter all your transactions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Generate tax forms for sold investments.<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you have sold any stocks you can generate IRS Form 8949 which\u00a0your tax preparer needs to calculate your capital gain taxes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Export your investment transactions for safekeeping.<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen Microsoft discontinued their portfolio manager many users were unable to access their portfolio data.\u00a0 With EquityStat you can easily export your transactions to a spreadsheet file which will give you a permanent backup of your data.<\/li>\n<li><strong>24 hour 7 day a week support.<br \/>\n<\/strong>Have a question or need help?
