We know you love our Power Portfolio – you’ve told us in your tens of thousands since it was launched in 2002.
Eighteen years later, we think it’s the only one left that allows you to add shares AND funds that’s simple, comprehensive and completely FREE. But it’s time for an upgrade.
We are starting the move to a new data supplier and upgrading the technology in background so, where our rivals gave up, we can continue to offer the much-loved service for another decade and beyond.
Our entire market data service is being updated and it’s going to take until at least until the end of summer to complete it.
Power Portfolio: is it the only one left where you can add shares and funds and it’s completely free? We think so. And if you don’t own the shares you can play the stock market to see what would happen if you did.
If you are a portfolio user you should already have received an email about this some weeks back.
We have upgraded the portfolio several times over the years and as with previous updates your existing entries will be transferred to the new service.
Our portfolio has funds as well as shares.
Power Portfolio lives here: to login or to create a portfolio if you’re intrigued you can find the link in the drop menus on every page on This is Money. In every sense, you have nothing to lose.
When we created Power Portfolio, fund prices were sent by fax and updated manually every day. We now have access to around a quarter of a million funds. A handful of people in an office above a car park in Yorkshire couldn’t possibly handle updating those numbers like they did then.
We’ll reinstate your shares first and deal with the funds later – but there maybe be some problems with some of the funds for which we can only apologise.
Don’t worry though, we’ll store your portfolio entries securely until we upload them again. It’ll probably be the more unusual funds that cause problems.
Please bear with us and if you would like to keep up to date with progress sign up to our weekly newsletter, where we’ll post updates. That’s free too.
Internet history buffs might be interested to know that the portfolio was created when This is Money was born in February 1999. But it used cookies to maintain the prices and total value.
Any time you cleared your cookies, which we’re now encouraged to do regularly, you had to recreate your portfolio.
Share ownership wasn’t nearly as prevalent as it is now but three years later we rebuilt it behind registration so all the information could be saved securely. We called it Power Portfolio.
We hope you continue to enjoy it as much as we have.
Any concerns, please email [email protected] but understand we probably won’t be able to deal with every email individually. We’ll post updates in the newsletter.
