Portfolio Clarity Foundations
Broker Dashboard
Definition
The account-level view a brokerage platform provides for the investments held with that specific broker.
A broker dashboard is usually a single-account surface optimized for execution and custody, not for consolidated portfolio judgment.
Why it matters
It shows one account clearly. The problem starts when the full portfolio lives across more than one broker.
What most investors miss
The gap between what the term means and how it is usually applied.
It stops at the account edge. It cannot show how one account's holdings relate to another or what the combined exposure looks like.
How to read it
Use it to read individual account data accurately. Do not use it to read the full portfolio. That requires a different tool.
Multi-account lens
How this term reads differently across brokers and accounts.
Each broker dashboard uses its own valuation logic FX rates and inclusion rules. Combining them manually introduces distortion.
