Quicken (Simplifi & Classic)

quicken.com

Consumer-focused personal finance suite with strong investment tracking, tax planning, and retirement tools. Quicken Simplifi (web/mobile) offers an aggregated investments dashboard with IRR/TWR, real-time prices, and a holdings-based news feed, while Quicken Classic (desktop) adds Portfolio Analyzer, Portfolio X-Ray, Capital Gains Estimator, and deeper tax/retirement planning. Quicken is an account aggregation, tracking, and planning tool — not a trading platform — and is designed for use in the U.S. & Canada only. Many advanced investing and tax capabilities (Portfolio Analyzer, Capital Gains Estimator, built-in Schedules A/B/D, some business schedules) are available only in Classic Premier or Classic Business & Personal tiers, primarily on Windows.

Simplifi investments dashboard calculates both Time-Weighted Return (TWR) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) across accounts, updates values with real-time market prices, and provides a curated news feed based on your specific holdings.
Classic portfolio tools (Portfolio view, Investing tab, and Investing portfolio tab on Mac) show market value over time, standard performance views (value, performance, realized gains), and allow grouping by account type, security, or asset class, including “as of” snapshots.
Portfolio Analyzer in Classic creates a comprehensive report with average annual return, asset allocation snapshot, standard-deviation-based risk profile, largest holdings and accounts, and a “Tax implications” section summarizing realized gains and holding periods.
Portfolio X-Ray in Classic analyzes mutual funds, ETFs, and other equity funds to “look through” underlying holdings and reveal true exposure to individual equities, improving diversification insight.
