A calm month-end checklist for comparing saved targets, connected holdings, cash, and unassigned positions.
Open article
Use a planning amount to estimate where future cash would land across the pies and slices you already saved.
Open article
Unassigned holdings help separate what you already own from what you want included in future target planning.
Open article
A master pie keeps account planning simple: one top-level view, optional child pies, and direct stock or ETF slices.
Open article
Before editing a percentage, ask whether your goal changed, the account changed, or the market simply moved.
Open article
Account value tells one story, cash tells another, and holdings explain what is already inside the account.
Open article
Concentration simply means one slice has become a larger part of the account than your saved target intended.
Open article
Child pies are helpful when a group of holdings has one purpose, such as broad ETFs, dividend holdings, or sector exposure.
Open article
If a pie totals 100%, every future planning estimate has a complete set of instructions.
Open article
Reports help organize account value, income, gains, and holdings, but they do not replace your own decision process.
Open article
WealthPie estimates how an amount maps to saved targets; brokerage deposits and account actions remain with your brokerage.
Open article
Shares acquired and average price provide the context needed to understand what is already inside a slice.
Open article
Monthly, quarterly, and annual review cadences each work differently. The right rhythm is the one you can actually maintain.
Open article
A TFSA, RRSP, FHSA, RESP, and taxable account may each need a different planning structure.
Open article
After sync, review account mapping, currency, open positions, cash, and unassigned holdings before editing targets.
Open article
A quick mid-month review can show whether the biggest changes came from market movement, new cash, or mapping changes.
Open article
Enter an amount, review the split, and compare estimated shares against your saved target percentages.
Open article
A 5 percentage point gap can be a useful signal to review, not an instruction to act.
Open article
Move only the holdings you want included in future planning. Leave the rest unassigned until your plan is ready.
Open article
For a simple account, direct slices inside the master pie can be easier to review than multiple child pies.
Open article
Master pie weights split the amount first. Child pie slice weights split the child amount next.
Open article
Dividend reporting is easier to understand when account totals and pie-level totals are shown separately.
Open article
Review the account purpose, current holding, target role, and whether a future deposit can do the adjustment work.
Open article
Account currency affects how values, cash, allocations, and reports should be interpreted.
Open article
Brokerage data tells you what exists. Your saved WealthPie targets describe the planning model you control.
Open article
Current allocation is the account's present mix based on live or synced values, not necessarily the target you intended.
Open article
Clear names like "Broad ETF", "Dividend", or "Cash reserve" make future reviews easier.
Open article
When under-target slices need attention, a future deposit estimate can show how cash might narrow the gap.
Open article
Target allocation is your saved plan. Current allocation is where the account sits today.
