Portfolios and watchlists are the building blocks of LOGICLY. Any portfolio or watchlist you create or upload can be found in My Portfolios and My Watchlists. Portfolios can be uploaded via a .csv file, created on-the-fly inside the platform, or converted into a watchlist and loaded into any of our tools and applications. 


Creating a Portfolio or Watchlist

NOTE: The process for creating both Portfolios and Watchlists is identical.

There are multiple ways to go about creating a portfolio or watchlist with LOGICLY:

1. Select My Portfolios from the home page or the toolbar.

    • You can adjust notation between percentages, shares, and notional value by clicking next to Size: in the top right-hand corner.
      • Make sure the total sums to 100%.
    • You have the option to select a benchmark for the portfolio by clicking the Set Benchmark button below the last line item of your portfolio holdings.

  • You will need to make sure that your file only has two columns: Ticker and Shares, Ticker and Percent, or Ticker and Notional.

Converting Portfolios & Watchlists
