Whether you’re new to investing or a seasoned enthusiast, keeping close track of your investments doesn’t need to be overwhelming - in fact, it can even be fun! We asked Marie Sychrova, Femme Palette mentor, financial specialist in investing, and moderator of our #womeninvestingclub Slack community channel to share some of her favourite apps she uses to stay updated on investments. Check out her tips!
Finviz is a stock screener offering a variety of tools and information relating to the stock market. It allows you to keep track of real-time stock prices, create personalized charts, and identify stocks that meet your specific criteria of interest. Finviz also pulls current financial news from a variety of sources, helping you stay up to date on what’s happening in the financial world.
“I usually use the Maps for checking daily data and screener for looking for new interesting stocks,” says Marie
justETF is a great platform for anyone interested in exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Serving as an ETF screener, this helpful tool will guide you through the world of ETFs with ease. It allows you to search and compare different ETFs, providing detailed information on their performance, costs, and underlying assets. On top of that, it also offers a ton of helpful educational content.
“Amazing ETF screener. Also you can check here the information about ETFs, documents for investors such as factsheets and KID, performance, risk overview and much more. A very useful website for you if you are about to start your ETF portfolio,” Marie recommends.
Looking for the perfect dividend portfolio tracker? According to Marie, there’s no need to look further than Digrin. Allowing you to track and manage your portfolio in real time, you’ll find everything you need here. “You can create your portfolio and track dividends. Perfect tool,” Marie says.
Seeking Alpha present themselves as the world’s largest investment community for a good reason - 20 million people flock to this handy platform to share new investing ideas, discuss news, and seek help on making informed decisions. Marie is one of them and recommends checking it out: “Here I check the information about stocks - dividends and their history, financials and other data which I need for the right decision about buying.”
If you’re new to investing, Yahoo might have been on your radar for different reasons, but Marie shares how it can be surprisingly helpful to investors not only for catching up on news: “I usually use Yahoo Finance for checking the news, but you can also create your own portfolio, put the stocks on waitlist or use the screeners for ETFs or mutual funds,” she shares.
The foundation of financial wellness lies in budgeting and regularly tracking your spending. For this, Marie recommends a handful of tools: “Spendee is a good money manager and budget planner I have used. I’ve also used the app Wallet. I check my spending every week and have used both these apps, but I find it most convenient to check my personal bank account statement,” she shares.
