Trustnet - Wow!

I've just created an account and portfolio on Trustnet. It is an incredible analysis tool. I have 2 pensions with 7 funds (one pension still being rebalanced - so these are hypothetical funds currently).
I have created a single portfolio on Trustnet which holds all my funds across the 2 pensions and it shows me my overall exposure and investment allocations by regions, sector, percentages etc. This is amazing and can be used to build some pseudo portfolios to test out the underlying separate allocation across all the funds. This makes potential overlapping equities/markets so much easier to see than having to delve into fund literature. It also compares your own fund past performance with some benchmarks. Of course past performance is no indication of future etc etc.
I'm sure a lot of people in the forum know about this, but I just wanted to share this with those who are like me and fairly new to the game as it were.

I think one issue is that not all funds, investments etc subscribe to Trustnet .0

Morningstar offer something similar, but again plenty of investments are not listed on them.

I found Trustnet has some glaring gaps. Eg one of the most popular gilt ETFs is Vanguard U.K. Gilt UCITS ETF (VGOV) - that's not there (so far as I can see).0

II has a similar tool that I find very useful. I have a 'ghost' portfolio set up in their 'watchlist' area that I can add some funds to and see how they affect the balance across many categories including any overlap.I don't care about your first world problems; I have enough of my own!0

In fact the VGOV holding isn't the thing you linked to, which is called Vanguard UK Gilt UCITS ETF Acc GBP, but something else apparently completely different, with different pricing and holdings but also called Vanguard U.K. Gilt UCITS ETF.
Searching for VGOV on Trustnet doesn't find the latter but searching for its ISIN (IE00B42WWV65) does, so I stand corrected on this one.0 -
