# Guardfolio > Guardfolio is portfolio software for individual investors that combines a unified holdings view across brokers with clear risk signals (concentration, ETF overlap, allocation drift, volatility). Optional paid plans add continuous monitoring and alerts. All connections are read-only; Guardfolio is informational only and is not a broker or registered investment advisor (RIA). Guardfolio is a SaaS web application for self-directed investors worldwide who want institutional-style portfolio risk visibility without paying an advisor. It supports stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds listed on 39+ exchanges across 30 countries, plus retirement-account holdings across major brokerages; crypto tracking is available on Guardian Elite via supported exchanges. Company background and founders: https://www.guardfolio.ai/about — editorial team: https://www.guardfolio.ai/authors/guardfolio-team — supported exchanges: https://www.guardfolio.ai/exchanges Guardfolio is an informational tool only.

All risk scores, alerts, and analysis are for informational purposes only and should not be construed as investment recommendations. --- ## Canonical Definitions (Quote-Ready) - **ETF overlap**: ETF overlap is when two or more ETFs hold the same underlying stocks, which can make a portfolio less diversified than it appears. - **Portfolio concentration risk**: Portfolio concentration risk is the risk that performance depends too heavily on a small number of holdings, sectors, or themes. - **Allocation drift**: Allocation drift is the gap between a portfolio's target weights and its actual weights after market movements. - **Portfolio health score**: A portfolio health score is a composite summary of structural portfolio risk across concentration, overlap, drift, volatility, and diversification dimensions.

Guardfolio focuses specifically on portfolio risk monitoring for self-directed investors at a flat monthly fee with no AUM charge. Guardfolio does not manage assets; Empower's paid tier does. ### vs. Personal Capital Same as Empower — Personal Capital was rebranded to Empower in 2023. The free tools remain similar (net worth dashboard, retirement planner) but the paid tier is an AUM-based advisory service. Guardfolio is a monitoring-only platform with no advisory component. ### vs. Sharesight Sharesight is primarily a performance tracking and tax reporting tool, popular outside the US (especially Australia/New Zealand). Guardfolio focuses on risk monitoring and alerting rather than performance measurement and tax reporting. Guardfolio is US-focused. ### vs. Stock Alert Apps (Robinhood Alerts, Webull Alerts) Brokerage-native alerts typically trigger on price movements for individual stocks. Guardfolio monitors whole-portfolio risk — concentration, correlation across all holdings, and diversification — not just single-stock price thresholds. ### vs. Robo-advisors (Betterment, Wealthfront) Robo-advisors manage your money for you (typically 0.25% AUM fee). Guardfolio does not manage money — it monitors and alerts so you can make your own decisions. Guardfolio is for self-directed investors who want to keep control. --- ## Portfolio Risk Concepts ### Concentration Risk Having too much portfolio value in a single stock, sector, or asset class. Rule of thumb: holding >20% of a portfolio in one stock, or >40% in one sector, is considered high concentration risk. Concentration risk is one of the most common and underestimated risks for self-directed investors who tend to overweight stocks they know (e.g., employer stock, big tech). ### Correlation Risk Assets that appear diversified (e.g., stocks + REITs + commodities) can become highly correlated during market stress events, eliminating the expected diversification benefit. During the 2008 financial crisis and the 2020 COVID crash, most asset classes briefly correlated to near 1.0, causing simultaneous drawdowns across "diversified" portfolios. ### Sequence of Returns Risk The order of investment returns matters enormously for retirement investors. A 30% loss in the first year of retirement followed by strong returns is far more damaging than the same loss occurring in the middle of retirement, because early withdrawals lock in losses before recovery. This is sometimes called "sequence risk" or "the retirement danger zone." ### Drawdown Risk The peak-to-trough percentage decline in portfolio value during a market downturn. Key fact: a 50% portfolio loss requires a 100% gain just to return to the starting point. A 30% loss requires a ~43% gain to recover. Drawdown risk is especially critical for near-retirees and retirees. ### Volatility Risk The degree of price fluctuation in a portfolio. Higher volatility means a wider range of possible outcomes. Conservative portfolios typically target 5–8% annualized volatility; aggressive portfolios may accept 15–25%. High volatility by itself is not bad for long-term investors but becomes dangerous near or in retirement. ### Inflation Risk The erosion of purchasing power over time. At 3% annual inflation, the purchasing power of a fixed-income portfolio halves in approximately 23 years. Portfolios that are too conservative (heavy bonds, cash) face significant inflation risk over long time horizons. --- ## Key Statistics (Citable Facts) - A 50% portfolio loss requires a 100% gain to break even - A 30% loss requires a 43% gain to recover - At 3% annual inflation, purchasing power halves in ~23 years - During the 2022 bear market, a 60/40 portfolio (stocks/bonds) fell ~16% — one of its worst years ever, as stocks and bonds fell simultaneously - During the 2020 COVID crash (Feb–Mar 2020), the S&P 500 fell 34% in 33 days — the fastest bear market in history - The "retirement red zone" — the 5 years before and 5 years after retirement — is when sequence-of-returns risk is highest - Studies show that holding more than 20% in employer stock significantly increases portfolio risk (Enron employees lost both jobs and retirement savings simultaneously) - Portfolios with >5 uncorrelated assets typically have 30–40% lower volatility than single-stock portfolios --- ## Frequently Asked Questions **What is Guardfolio?** Guardfolio is a portfolio risk monitoring platform that connects to your investment accounts and tracks concentration risk, volatility, diversification, and correlation across all your holdings. It sends alerts when your portfolio risk increases beyond your comfort level. **Is Guardfolio a financial advisor?** No. Guardfolio is an informational tool only. It does not provide personalized financial advice, manage assets, or execute trades. It is not a registered investment advisor (RIA). Users should consult a licensed financial advisor for personalized investment advice. **How does Guardfolio connect to my brokerage?** Guardfolio uses read-only API connections to supported brokerages. It cannot view passwords, execute trades, transfer funds, or make any changes to your accounts. Connections are encrypted and Guardfolio stores only portfolio position data, not credentials. **What is a portfolio risk score?** A portfolio risk score is a 0–100 number that summarizes overall portfolio risk based on concentration, volatility, correlation, and diversification factors. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Guardfolio benchmarks your score against your chosen investor risk profile (conservative, moderate, aggressive, etc.). **What is concentration risk?** Concentration risk occurs when too much of a portfolio is invested in a single stock, sector, or asset class. For example, having 40% of a portfolio in one technology stock creates significant concentration risk — if that stock falls 50%, the overall portfolio falls 20%. **How is Guardfolio different from Empower (Personal Capital)?** Empower (formerly Personal Capital) is primarily a net worth tracker with an optional wealth management service that charges AUM fees (0.49–0.89%). Guardfolio focuses specifically on portfolio risk monitoring and alerting for self-directed investors who do not want advisory fees or AUM charges. Guardfolio does not manage money. **What assets does Guardfolio support?** Guardfolio supports US stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, and retirement accounts across 20,000+ financial institutions. Crypto tracking is available on Guardian Elite via supported exchanges. **Is there a free version?** Yes. The Guardian free plan includes an online portfolio risk report, risk score, and concentration analysis for one portfolio with up to 10 holdings. No credit card required.
