Assets 📊¶

The Assets module lets you register external investments and wealth items in Valt to get a broader view of your total wealth. It is completely optional and separate from the accounts and transactions system.

Overview¶

The Assets module was designed for those who want to see their complete wealth in one place. You can register stocks, ETFs, cryptocurrencies, real estate, commodities, leveraged positions, and custom assets.

What the module is NOT

The Assets module is not a real-time price tracker. It serves to register what you own and have a consolidated view of your wealth. Price updates can be done manually or through configurable sources, but there is no continuous monitoring of market movements.

Valt supports 7 asset types:

Type	Description	Example
Stocks	Shares of publicly listed companies	AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL
ETFs	Exchange-traded index funds	VOO, QQQ, SPY
Cryptocurrencies	Digital currencies beyond Bitcoin	ETH, SOL, ADA
Real Estate	Properties and real estate assets	Apartment, land

Attention

Leveraged positions involve high risk. Use the liquidation field to keep track of your risk limits.

Price Sources 💰¶

Valt offers three ways to keep your asset prices updated:

Manual¶

You set the price directly. Ideal for:

Real estate (estimated market value)
Custom assets
Any asset you prefer to update yourself

Yahoo Finance¶

Valt queries Yahoo Finance to get the price. Ideal for:

Publicly listed stocks
ETFs
Some indexes and commodities

Tip

To use Yahoo Finance, enter the asset ticker exactly as it appears on Yahoo Finance (e.g., "AAPL" for Apple, "PETR4.SA" for Petrobras on B3).

Live Price¶

Real-time price updates via API. Ideal for:

Cryptocurrencies
Assets with prices available through public APIs

Managing Assets ⚙️¶

Editing an Asset¶

Click on the asset you want to edit
Click the edit icon (pencil)
Modify the desired fields
Click Save

Toggling Visibility¶

If you don't want to see an asset in the main list anymore:

Edit the asset
Uncheck the Visible option
Save

The asset will be hidden but remains registered.

Include/Exclude from Net Worth¶

You can choose whether an asset should be counted in the net worth calculation:

Edit the asset
Check or uncheck the Include in Net Worth option
Save

When to exclude from net worth

It can be useful to exclude assets you consider illiquid or that you don't want to count in the total, such as a personal-use property or a high-risk leveraged position.

Reordering Assets¶

You can reorder assets using the right-click menu and the Move Up or Move Down options, or hold Ctrl and use the keyboard arrows. The order is saved automatically.

Deleting an Asset¶

To delete an asset:

Edit the asset
Click Delete
Confirm the deletion

Selling an Asset 💸¶

When you sell an asset fully or partially:

Click on the asset you want to sell
Select the Sell option
Fill in the fields:

Field	Description
Quantity	How many units you are selling
Sell Price	Price per unit at sale
Date	Date of the operation

Click Confirm

Valt will automatically calculate the profit or loss of the operation based on the registered purchase price.

Wealth and Net Worth 💎¶

How Assets Integrate into Wealth¶

Assets marked as "Include in Net Worth" are added to Valt's total wealth, which includes:

Balance of all accounts (fiat and Bitcoin)
Value of all assets included in net worth

Multi-Currency Conversion¶

If you own assets in currencies different from your main currency, Valt automatically converts them to your main currency using available exchange rates.

Profit/Loss Indication¶

Valt uses colors to indicate the performance of your assets:

Green 🟢: The asset is profitable (current price > purchase price)
Red 🔴: The asset is at a loss (current price < purchase price)

This allows a quick visual analysis of your portfolio performance.

Important

The Assets module does not track daily price fluctuations. It offers a wealth view based on manual records or periodic updates via configured price sources. Don't expect home broker functionality — the goal is to have a panoramic view of your wealth.

Best Practices ✨¶

Keep Prices Updated¶

Periodically update the price of assets with manual source. For assets using Yahoo Finance or Live Price, Valt will do this for you.

Organize by Type¶

Group your assets by type for easier visualization. Use icons and colors to quickly differentiate each one.

Use the Net Worth Toggle Wisely¶

Include in net worth only the assets that make sense for your financial analysis. Highly illiquid or speculative assets may distort your wealth view.

Record Purchase Price Correctly¶

The purchase price is the basis for profit/loss calculation. Make sure to register the correct value for accurate analysis.

Does Not Replace Account Management¶

The Assets module complements, but does not replace, the accounts and transactions system. Continue using accounts to manage your day-to-day cash flow.
