# Add and track investments

Investments shows holdings from connected brokerages and ones you add by hand, valued at each US trading day's closing price where Treasury has one.

## Where your holdings come from

**Investments** shows holdings from two places: brokerage and retirement accounts you connect, and holdings you add by hand.

A connected brokerage shares its holdings and trades through Plaid. If a connection isn't sharing investments yet, **Investments** names it with an **Add investments** button. With several, each button shows the bank's name. To share them, see [If investments, card or loan details are missing](https://treasury.sh/help/fix-bank-connection#add-products).

Treasury only reads your investments. It can't buy, sell or move money.

## Add a holding by hand

You can add a holding to any investment account, connected or manual. For an account Treasury can't connect, first [add a manual account](https://treasury.sh/help/manual-accounts#add) with the **Investment** type.

1. In **Investments**, select **Add holding** (the +).
2. Under **Security**, search for a ticker or name and select it. For anything not listed, such as crypto or private shares, select **Track a custom asset** and enter a **Name** and **Currency**.
3. Enter the **Quantity** and **Price per unit**. For a listed security, the label names its currency, such as **Price per unit (USD)**.
4. Optionally fill in **Cost basis** and **As of**. An empty cost basis becomes quantity times price.
5. Choose the **Account**, then select **Add holding**.

![The Add holding dialog for a custom asset with Name, Currency, Quantity, Price per unit, Cost basis, As of and Account](https://treasury.sh/help/investments-add-holding.webp)

Search covers stocks and funds listed in the US, Toronto and London, plus securities your brokerages report and your own custom assets, marked **Yours**. Each security can be added once per account.

A manual investment account's balance becomes the total value of its holdings. A holding added by hand to a connected account doesn't change that account's balance or your net worth. If the brokerage later reports the same security, its numbers replace yours.

## How prices are updated

Prices in Treasury aren't live. After each US trading day, Treasury fetches closing prices for the US-listed stocks and ETFs you hold that it can match to an exchange.

Other holdings use the price your brokerage reports, or the price you entered. That includes Toronto and London listings, cash, bonds, options, custom assets and brokerage securities with no exchange. A price you type for a US-listed holding lasts until the next close. Select a holding to see its **Price** and the date of that price.

Holdings in other currencies count in your primary currency. See [Net worth, recurring and investment totals](https://treasury.sh/help/currencies#totals). To update a custom asset's value, [edit its price](https://treasury.sh/help/investments#edit).

## Edit or remove a holding

1. In **Investments**, select a holding to open it.
2. For a holding you added, select **Edit holding** (the pencil). Change the **Quantity**, **Price per unit** or **Cost basis**, then select **Save**.
3. To remove a holding you added, select **Remove holding** (the bin), then **Delete**.

A holding from a connected brokerage updates itself, so you can only change its cost basis. Select **Set cost basis** (the pencil), enter it and save.

> [!CAUTION]
> Removing a holding can't be undone.

## Portfolio, This year and Allocation

The **Portfolio** chart shows how your investments performed over the period you pick. Deposits and withdrawals don't count as gains or losses. Where Treasury has the data, it compares your return with the **S&P 500** and shows the difference as "vs index".

**This year** shows **Long-term gains**, **Short-term gains**, **Dividends**, **Interest** and **Fees** so far this year. Gains are estimates and leave out 401(k) and IRA-style accounts. Your broker's tax forms are the official figures.

**Allocation** splits your portfolio by asset class, and **By account** shows each account's total. To regroup the holdings list, choose **By asset class**, **By security type**, **By account** or **No grouping**.

## See trades and dividends

In **Investments**, select the **Activity** tab to see buys, sells, dividends and fees from your accounts. You can filter by **Account**, **Type** and period, or search the activity.
