Alpgain brings your entire financial life together in a single Swiss app: bank accounts, ETFs, individual stocks, crypto, pillar 2 and pillar 3a. Everything is consolidated in CHF, whatever currency your assets are held in. YOUR NET WORTH, ALWAYS UP TO DATE See the total value of what you own and what you owe, in CHF, updated with market prices. Multi-currency positions are converted automatically, so you always look at one number that makes sense. PERFORMANCE THAT ADDS UP Alpgain recalculates your full history from every transaction you record. Back-dated entries, accounts you add months later, negative cash balances and transfers between your own accounts are all handled properly. Three metrics are available on the same chart: - Portfolio value: what your assets are worth over time - Absolute gain: how much you have made or lost, in CHF - TWR (time-weighted return): your performance stripped of the effect of deposits and withdrawals, so it can be compared with a benchmark FINANCIAL COCKPIT Investments, overview and budget in one place. Import your transactions from CSV, review your history and follow the evolution of each account. SWISS PENSION INCLUDED Track your pillar 2 and pillar 3a alongside the rest of your wealth. Your retirement savings are part of your net worth, so they belong in the same view. GOALS AND FORECASTS Set SMART goals, link the accounts that fund them, and see when you are on track to reach them at your current pace. LEAKS Spot the recurring fees and charges that quietly eat into your returns. AI ASSISTANT Ask questions about your own numbers and get clear explanations of what you are looking at. BUILT FOR SWITZERLAND CHF as the reference currency, Swiss pension pillars, and an interface in French, German, Italian and English. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Alpgain does not sell your data. Alpgain is free to start. Paid plans unlock more accounts, more assets, unlimited history and additional AI requests. Alpgain is an information and tracking tool. It does not provide investment advice or personal recommendations. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
