What is MF Analyser Portfolio Analysis?+
Portfolio Analysis helps you bring mutual fund investments from a supported Consolidated Account Statement (CAS) into one review. It connects your holdings and recorded transactions with allocation, return and risk analysis, and deeper look-through where source data is available. Report access depends on the level you choose.
What does Portfolio Pulse add?+
Portfolio Pulse is an ongoing private workspace connected to your saved portfolio. It adds monthly fund-disclosure comparisons, overlap analysis, peer comparisons, rebalance scenarios, SIP tracking, configurable alerts, reports and a dated Decision Lab. It helps you review changes after your initial analysis.
What makes the connected workflow distinctive?+
It links three jobs: understand your own portfolio, follow changes inside its funds, and preserve the assumptions behind a comparison for later review. Monthly disclosures, source dates, coverage and saved decision dates stay visible. This describes the product approach; it is not a claim that no other provider has similar features.
Can I compare changes over one, two and three months?+
Yes, when the relevant accepted monthly disclosures are available. Pulse compares disclosed stock and sector exposure across the selected month-end snapshots. Missing or incomplete sources are identified. A change in weight alone does not prove that a fund manager bought or sold a security.
Does owning more funds always mean better diversification?+
No. Different funds can own many of the same companies. Pulse combines disclosed underlying holdings, shows shared exposures and compares fund pairs. It also offers hypothetical trim or removal scenarios, so you can inspect what changes before making a decision. These are research scenarios, not buy or sell recommendations.
Is the return shown my actual investment return?+
The basis is labelled. Investor cash-flow return needs complete, reconciled transaction evidence. A current-unit NAV move and a historical fixed-mix illustration answer different questions and are shown separately. Short since-statement periods are shown as period returns rather than prominently annualising a few weeks of performance. Missing history is flagged for review.
Will new purchases, redemptions and SIPs appear automatically?+
Pulse can refresh connected NAV and monthly disclosure data. That does not import new bank, demat or mutual fund transactions. Add confirmed purchases and redemptions, and reconcile SIP payments, to keep the private portfolio current. A registered SIP schedule alone is not evidence that money was invested.
How do alerts and email updates work?+
Choose your investor, create or enable alert rules, and turn on automatic checks. Available conditions include monthly fund movement, unchanged comparable disclosures, fund-house concentration, stale NAV marks, missing monthly filings and SIP confirmations that are due. Email updates require a separate opt-in to your own account address. Delivery also depends on the receiving mail service; SMS and WhatsApp delivery are not currently connected.
What can Decision Lab compare?+
Save a current mix against an equal-weight mix, a per-scheme cap or a saved rebalance allocation. Both models use the same opening money and assumed contributions. The journal preserves the date and assumptions for later 30, 90 and 180-day checkpoints, subject to valid NAV coverage. The results are hypothetical model outcomes, not the return earned in your investment account.
Are stock-level manager outcomes available automatically?+
Monthly disclosed stock changes can be recorded now. Forward stock-outcome and old-versus-new basket calculations additionally need a matured observation window and consistently adjusted security-price evidence. An automatic stock-price feed is not connected. Fund holdings alone cannot establish manager trading profit or investment skill.
What can I download?+
The Pulse report centre provides a Master portfolio report, a four-page Client snapshot and a Monthly changes report. The Master brings the selected investor scope, analysis, source dates, review items and evidence appendices together. Relevant sections also provide CSV or private evidence exports. Availability follows the data in your selected workspace.
Is Portfolio Pulse included in Pro or Advisor?+
Research subscriptions, one-off portfolio reports and Pulse tracking access are separate access paths today. The pricing page lists current research plans and report levels. Pulse access is currently managed through your account by MF Analyser; purchasing a research plan alone should not be taken as confirmation that Pulse is included. Contact the team to confirm your tracking access before paying for it.
Can an advisor use it for client reviews?+
Yes. An advisor can work with saved clients under their account, select the relevant client or investor, compare schemes and scenarios, and download a report for discussion. Advisor research tools and limits are listed on the pricing page. Client consent, suitability review and professional obligations remain the advisor’s responsibility.
Can the platform place trades or guarantee better returns?+
No. Analysis, model comparisons and rebalance proposals do not execute transactions. The tools help you understand and review evidence. They do not promise higher returns, provide a personalised suitability decision or replace professional investment and tax advice.
