Introduction to Portfolio Tracking

Whether you are investing in stocks, mutual funds, or other assets, it's crucial to monitor your portfolio's performance. This article explores the capabilities of Zerodha's tools, offering a comprehensive guide to track all your investments effectively.
Understanding the Zerodha Ecosystem
Zerodha is a well-known broker in the Indian stock market, offering a range of tools and apps to manage and monitor investments efficiently. While it doesn't have a single app to track all types of investments, it offers tools tailored to specific investment needs. Below is a detailed look at the different apps and platforms available within the Zerodha ecosystem.
Using Kite for Stock and Commodity Tracking
Kite is Zerodha’s flagship trading and monitoring app, designed to cater to stock traders and investors. It offers real-time tracking of stocks, ETFs, and commodities, allowing users to monitor their portfolios in real-time.
Real-Time Quotes and Charts: Kite provides up-to-date quotes and charts for the stocks and ETFs in your portfolio, enabling you to make informed decisions. News and Analysis: Stay updated with the latest news and analysis related to the stocks in your portfolio, helping you make better investment choices. Performance Reports: View detailed performance reports, including gains/losses and investment history, to assess your investment performance over time.Monitoring Mutual Funds with Coin
Coin is Zerodha’s mutual fund platform, designed to simplify the process of investing and tracking mutual funds. It allows you to:
Direct Investment: Make direct mutual fund investments without paying distributor commissions. Track SIPs and Lump Sums: Monitor your Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) and lump sum investments across various mutual funds. Performance Reports: View detailed performance reports to understand the overall performance of your mutual fund investments.While Coin is a powerful tool for mutual fund tracking, it doesn't cover stocks or other asset classes. Therefore, you may need to use Kite or another platform to monitor these investments.
Managing Your Portfolio with Zerodha Console
Console is Zerodha's web-based platform for managing and tracking all of your Zerodha accounts, including stocks, mutual funds, and other investments. It integrates seamlessly with Kite and Coin, providing a consolidated view of your investments:
Consolidated View: See a detailed performance summary of both your stock and mutual fund holdings in a single dashboard. Investment History: Access a comprehensive transaction history, along with gains/losses and tax-related documents. Investment Reports: Generate in-depth reports on your investments, providing insights and actionable data.While Console provides a comprehensive overview within the Zerodha ecosystem, it does not support direct tracking of investments made with other brokers or platforms. If you have investments outside Zerodha, you would need to use other portfolio management apps like Moneycontrol, ET Money, and Groww.
