Frequently Asked Questions

What is ETF portfolio overlap and why does it matter?
ETF overlap occurs when multiple funds in your portfolio hold the exact same underlying companies (e.g. holding both VOO and QQQ gives massive duplicate exposure to Microsoft and Apple). Identifying overlap prevents unintended concentration risks.
How often are ETF expense ratios and portfolio holdings refreshed?
Holdings weights and fund net asset values (NAV) update every business day following issuer public regulatory filings and exchange trade reporting.
Can I track dividend distributions from bond and covered call ETFs?
Yes. Snowball Analytics automatically categorizes monthly bond coupons, covered call option premiums, and ordinary equity dividends into an automated cash flow calendar.
Can I connect multiple brokerage accounts holding different ETFs?
Yes. Snowball Analytics securely connects with over 1,000 brokers globally (including Interactive Brokers, Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard, and Robinhood), synthesizing all your ETF holdings into one unified dashboard.
