Transition to the new Portfolio Builder

What has changed?

The new Portfolio Builder is now available, offering an improved look and feel and a smoother experience for users.

The old Portfolio Builder was retired on 8 November. We asked users who wished to retain their portfolios to export their files for use in the new Portfolio Builder.

You can now access the new Portfolio Builder and import your portfolios by following the steps below.

How to import your Portfolio Builder data?

Register for Vanguard Adviser Portal

Access the new Portfolio Builder by registering for Adviser Portal. You’ll need your Authorised Representative Number and ABN.

If you’re a Vanguard Online user, you can use your current username and password to fast track your registration.

Get started.

Access Portfolio Builder

When you’ve completed your Adviser Portal registration, you’ll be able to access the new Portfolio Builder from the Adviser Tools section.

Import your portfolio data to the new Portfolio Builder

From the options menu select ‘Create a portfolio’. Select ‘Upload an old Portfolio Builder file’, click the ‘Upload file’ button and navigate to your portfolio files on your computer. These will be saved as CSV files and contain your portfolio weights.

Select the portfolio file you wish to import and click ‘submit’.

Your portfolio will now appear in the Portfolio Builder.

Make sure to save your imported portfolio by clicking ‘Save portfolio’, giving it a name and hitting the ‘Update’ button.

Repeat this step if you have a second portfolio to include in your analysis.

Note: If your analysis contains two portfolios, you will need to import each portfolio separately.

Your questions, answered

Can I use the same login details to allow my support staff to access Portfolio Builder?

No. Unfortunately, the new Vanguard Adviser Portal doesn’t allow access for support staff. Only licensed financial advisers are able to register for and use Vanguard Adviser Portal.

Are there any fees associated with the new Portfolio Builder?

No, you won’t have to pay a fee to use Portfolio Builder.

Why does my portfolio reporting provide only limited fund performance?

If one or more of the funds included in your portfolio were incepted recently, only performance after and including that year is reported.

Why isn’t all the data pulling through for one or both portfolios?

The analytics are limited to what Morningstar data is available. Note that there can be multiple versions or classes of a unit trust, so make sure you select the correct one.

Can I use Portfolio Builder to analyse managed accounts?

No. Morningstar data does not cover managed accounts.

Can I customise date ranges in the new Portfolio Builder?

No. Customised date ranges are not available.

What kind of analytics and reporting does Portfolio Builder provide?

The Portfolio Analysis page includes analytics and reporting on:

Asset allocation and holdings
Key facts
Growth illustration
Performance history
Top ten holdings
Trailing return
Risk and return statistics
Modern portfolio theory statistics
Fundamental analysis
Fixed income analysis
Investment style
Sector analysis
Correlation mix

Where can I locate the disaggregated report templates that were in the old Portfolio Builder?

There is only one report available in the new Portfolio Builder covering all portfolio details.

Is Vanguard Adviser Portal complete?

No. We’re currently building Adviser Portal in collaboration with advisers to ensure we deliver the tools and features you need to service your clients’ accounts.

Can I see my clients in Vanguard Adviser Portal?

No. You won’t be able to see your clients in Adviser Portal yet. This feature will become available in a future update. Register your interest and we’ll keep you up-to-date with new features.
