The Innovative DIY Wealth Management Toolset
Minutes to set up. Tools designed for implementing a disciplined wealth management process for all your assets and liabilities.
Invest
Manage your investments with automatically updated and readily available investment tools
Balance Sheet and Accounts
Your Balance Sheet and individual accounts have access to all of your web-based bank, brokerage, tax-deferred and loan accounts through connected accounts. Assets and liabilities can also be added and modeled manually. In the Accounts view see your investments organized by accounts with relative aggregate information such as fees and composition.
Customizable Benchmark
Your uniquely selected set of actual investment funds defines your benchmark risk tolerance (strategic asset allocation). Intended deviations from your benchmark represent a tactical asset allocation in order to take advantage of temporary market disruptions, valuation assessments, and supply/demand imbalances. Wealth portfolio return deviations from your benchmark represents measurable performance evaluation.
Configurable Target Date Stock Allocation
In the Benchmark set up you can set a target percentage change and the frequency of that change for your benchmark’s stock allocation.
Investment Screener
The advanced Investment Screener is designed to be an efficient tool to search and add securities with specific risk exposures and characteristics to accounts in order to achieve your desired wealth portfolio strategy. You can also use the screener to filter for low expense ratios and thus reduce fees on your investments.

Holdings Analysis
The Holdings Analysis feature allows the user to view their wealth portfolio by each investment. That is, aggregating the same investment held in multiple accounts. This view gives the user the relevant percentage of their total wealth portfolio allocated to each investment for return impact and diversification analysis. The full set of security specific details available in Account view are also available in Holdings view plus additional information on fund investment strategies and historical price charts. From the Holdings view, Ripsaw® also provides a mapping and access to which accounts each security is held and their respective unrealized capital gains/losses. This is useful information before executing a portfolio revision.
