SmartFolio is a free portfolio tracker for investors who hold stocks, ETFs and crypto across more than one market or currency. Record your trades once and SmartFolio keeps the whole picture current: what you own, what it is worth today, what you have really earned, and how your money is spread across companies, sectors, regions and asset classes. No subscription, no account, no ads. Every number is calculated on your device, and your data never leaves it. MARKETS AROUND THE WORLD - Follow listings on more than 30 exchanges, including Toronto, New York, London, Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam, Zurich, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Mumbai, Sydney, Singapore, Seoul, Sao Paulo and Mexico City. - World Markets shows live index levels for the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific, with an open or closed indicator for each exchange. - Browse popular names market by market, star anything to your watchlist, and search any stock, ETF, fund, index or crypto pair by name or ticker. - Prices, charts and history appear in each security's own currency. London prices are shown in pounds, not pence. ONE PORTFOLIO, ANY CURRENCY - Hold US, Canadian, UK, European and Asian listings side by side. Each position keeps its native currency, and every total is converted with live exchange rates. - Choose from 28 display currencies, including US and Canadian dollars, euro, pound, rupee, yen, Australian dollar, Swiss franc, Hong Kong and Singapore dollars, peso, real and rand. Switch at any time and the whole app follows. RETURNS YOU CAN TRUST - Lot by lot accounting on a first in, first out basis, so realized and unrealized gains are exact. - Time-weighted performance for 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, year to date, 1 year and all time, so deposits and withdrawals do not distort your results. - Dividends, stock splits and cash are all part of the picture.
