Updated August 7, 2026
If you opened Google Finance and found your portfolio stripped of its history, you are not alone. The July 2026 redesign migrated portfolios to a new, simplified system. Longtime users report that sorting, detailed transaction histories, and cost basis views did not survive the move.
And if you searched for the Google Finance portfolio hoping to start using it, the short version is: the feature still exists, but it is not the tool it was. What made it worth using was the classic version, and that is the version this page is about.
This page explains what the classic portfolio did, what changed, what you can still save, and how Folivue handles classic-style portfolio tracking.
What the classic Google Finance portfolio did
The classic portfolio was a real tracker, not a list of tickers. You recorded transactions, buys and sells with dates, quantities and prices, and the page derived everything an investor actually checks from them.
That workflow is what people are trying to get back:
- Transaction-level history: every buy and sell, editable, with dates and fees
- Cost basis and gains, overall and per position, computed from your real lots
- Day change for the whole portfolio and for each holding
- Dense, sortable holdings tables with a dozen numbers per row
- A portfolio watchlist view: your symbols, their quotes and their news in one place
What the redesign changed for portfolios
The new portfolios look similar at a glance but behave differently where it matters.
- Transaction-level history is no longer visible the way it was in classic
- Sorting and column controls that power users relied on are gone
- Holdings views show fewer numbers per row than the classic tables
- The portfolio data now shares the page with AI summaries
Can you still use Google Finance as a portfolio tracker?
You can, and for a simple list of positions it works. But if your definition of a portfolio tracker includes transaction history, cost basis you can audit, and tables you can sort, the current Google Finance portfolio no longer meets it, and there is no setting that restores the classic behaviour.
That leaves two options: simplify your expectations to match the new tool, or move the classic workflow to something that still has it.
Protect your data now
Google Finance still has no built-in CSV export for portfolio transactions or watchlists. Folivue now provides a temporary browser bookmarklet that turns the table already open on your screen into a local CSV file while the full Chrome extension waits for Store review.
Open the export guide linked on this page, add the bookmarklet once, then use it on each watchlist or portfolio Transactions page you want to save. The file is created in your browser and is not uploaded to Folivue.
Classic-style portfolio tracking in Folivue
Folivue rebuilds the classic workflow: portfolios made of real transactions with dates and cost basis, live values and day change derived from them, dense sortable holdings tables, and watchlists alongside, with your symbols in the news. No AI layer anywhere on the page.
Early access is open: sign up with Google and you're in right away.
Frequently asked questions
Did Google Finance delete my portfolio?
Portfolios were migrated to the redesigned system, not deleted. But users report the new system dropped transaction histories, sorting, and detail views that existed in classic.
Is there still a portfolio in Google Finance?
Yes, a simplified one. You can hold a list of positions, but longtime users report the transaction history, sorting and cost basis detail of the classic portfolio did not survive the 2026 migration.
Can I export my Google Finance portfolio?
Google Finance has no built-in CSV export. Folivue provides a temporary bookmarklet that exports the currently open portfolio Transactions table to CSV, and a Chrome extension for selecting several portfolios and watchlists is awaiting Store review.
What is the best replacement for the Google Finance portfolio?
Something transaction-based, so gains come from your real lots rather than a guessed average. Folivue rebuilds the classic portfolio workflow: transactions with dates and cost basis, live values, and dense sortable tables.
Does Folivue support portfolios?
Yes. Folivue includes classic-style watchlists and portfolio tracking with transaction history.
