Streamline Portfolio Creation & Analysis with YCharts Quick Extract

In the fast-paced world of wealth management, time is an invaluable asset. Financial professionals, whether part of a boutique advisory firm or a large institution, juggle a wide range of responsibilities—from client meeting prep and proposal creation to staying on top of market trends and fine-tuning portfolios. With so many critical tasks, it’s essential that the tools they use help simplify workflows and free up time for high-impact activities.

Data extraction and analysis tools are built to do just that by automating the tedious process of gathering, formatting, and uploading portfolio holdings into analysis and optimization platforms. However, many of the current solutions fall short—they can be slow, disjointed, require additional review, and often restrictive when it comes to file compatibility.

YCharts’ Quick Extract, our data extraction & analysis tool, solves these challenges, offering a fast and integrated solution for creating and analyzing portfolios. With this tool, wealth managers can streamline their portfolio analysis processes, focus on what truly matters, and drive faster AUM growth.

About YCharts’ Quick Extract

Generate Proposals Effortlessly

You’ve scheduled a meeting with a prospect next week and asked them to send over their current portfolio. They deliver a long PDF brokerage statement, packed with stocks, funds, and market values. Instead of spending hours manually inputting data into a spreadsheet or another planning tool, you can turn to YCharts’ Quick Extract.

Simply upload the PDF into YCharts, and let the tool handle the heavy lifting. In just a few moments, it extracts the portfolio data and imports it into the platform. Quickly validate the upload results and move to running a side-by-side comparison between the prospect’s current portfolio and the model strategy you want to recommend. With the data now in YCharts, you can generate a polished proposal report in no time—impressing the prospect and speeding up the process of winning their assets.

No Limitations on File Type—Even Screenshots or Images Work

Imagine you’re on a Zoom call with a prospect, and they start sharing their screen to show the brokerage platform they currently use. Instead of waiting for them to send a formal file, you can just take a quick screenshot of their holdings. Within seconds, you upload the data in that screenshot into YCharts using the Quick Extract feature. The tool extracts the data instantly, allowing you to show the prospect their portfolio allocation and even run a portfolio optimization—all while still on the call.

As the conversation wraps up, you can generate a polished overview report of the proposed investment strategy and send it to them as a takeaway. Whether it’s a screenshot, pictures of paper statements, or a .csv export from their brokerage platform, you have the flexibility to upload a wide variety of file types, making the entire process faster and more efficient for both you and your prospect.
