How Do I Convert a Portfolio to a Dynamic Portfolio?

Dynamic Portfolios on YCharts let you track how a portfolio changes over time. While you can’t convert a static portfolio into a dynamic one directly, you can easily recreate it by using your current holdings and weights as the foundation.

 

To convert a Portfolio to a Dynamic Portfolio follow the below steps: 

1.  Export your portfolio holdings by heading to the Holdings tab of the portfolio and selecting 'Export Holdings'. This will create an excel spreadsheet with the holdings and their target weights.
