Our latest Google Finance upgrades, including a new app
The new Google Finance is coming out of beta and launching a new Android app.
Barine Tee Principal Engineer, Search Share x.com Facebook LinkedIn Mail Copy link Investing is complex, but staying informed shouldn’t be. Starting this week, the new Google Finance is coming out of beta, with several new capabilities to help you better track and understand financial investments – plus a new Android app to help you on the go. Starting this week, we’re rolling out portfolios globally in the new Google Finance, and they’re more helpful than ever, with new, powerful insights tailored to your investments. You’ll see all your investments consolidated in a single dashboard that shows performance data, as well as insights on your asset allocation and more. Your existing Google Finance portfolios will be available automatically, or you can create a new one by dropping in screenshots or uploading files (like CSVs or PDFs) that detail your holdings. You can even just describe your investments to get started and build from there. Once your portfolio is set up, it’s easy to dive deeper with the research tool. Try asking questions like “what sectors are currently underrepresented in my portfolio?” or “how does my fixed income allocation impact my long-term growth potential?”. Today, we’re launching a new way for Google Finance to keep you updated on the topics you care about. To get started, describe a task like, “Send me a daily pre-market briefing analyzing significant overnight moves across major cryptocurrencies.” You can edit the schedule or instructions however you like, including using your watchlist or portfolio to get insights tailored to your own investments. Once it’s set up, Google Finance gets to work in the background to find exactly what you need and deliver a custom briefing on your preferred schedule. When your update is ready, you’ll receive a notification through the Google app for Android or iOS. Notifications will also appear in the research panel in Google Finance on the web, where you can also view and edit your existing tasks. This new capability is now available globally, so you can start testing it out today. Today, we’re also launching a new Google Finance app for Android, bringing the core of our new experience directly into your pocket.
