Excluding shares from automate percentages
planned

Is it possible to add a feature where certain shares are excluded from being calculated in the automate percentages? For example, I have a core investment portfolio consisting of ETFs which I want to automate investing into every month according to the lowest share strategy to achieve a certain allocation that I have chosen. I also hold individual stocks that I do not want to automatically invest in.
However currently the whole portfolio is included in the percentage calculations for automation and therefore the percentages and allocations are incorrect. I just want to exclude certain shares from being included at all in the calculation (not just switching off investment)

Hey team, any update on this? Portfolio target tracking is still a pain point for me; I need to use a separate spreadsheet to see how I’m performing.
I have my core target portfolio but I also have a few play/non-critical stocks in my Pearler account. I’ve set the latter ones to 0% target in my automate settings, but it still affects the overall actual percentages of all stocks by lowering the actual value of those core investments. I have no idea how close those core assets are to target without a spreadsheet.
Alternatively, there used to be a way to create multiple portfolios under the one investment account, which could theoretically allow different manual or automated investment strategies. I don’t see how to create extra portfolios today, although I recall being able to do so a few years ago. That could be a useful alternative by being able to allocate specific stocks to specific portfolios. (What happens if the same ticker is in multiple portfolios? Maybe a percentage split?)

I would also like this function as I noticed it straight away. I think your original post explains really well what they need to do. An update on if this is happening would be great PEARLER please?
Thank you.

Better selection at Autoinvest

I want to set up auto invest for 2 ETFS but since i hold other ETFS and shares the percentages don't align to how i want it. Would be handy to be able to remove/hide my other holdings from the percentage calculations.

Portfolio current % with autoinvest filter

As user with assets that are not part of auto invest strategy, I would like to see portfolio current % per asset with auto invest filter to exclude non-autoinvest assets as part of calculating current %.
As a user with auto invest strategy, I want to know what's the next asset to buy if auto invest buys today. I know that we get email notification a day before which asset that strategy will buy, and I want to know this every day.

Ignore stock in auto invest % calculations

I love the auto invest function - but it gets confused by individual holdings that I don't want included as part of my auto invest. While I can remove the shares from the auto invest functionality the % of portfolio will forever be off target %.

Change Percentage of AutoInvest

It would be really nice if we were able to set up AutoInvest targets without the need for those targets to be 100% of our portfolio. For example, say I want to autoinvest in ETFs and for that to be 50% of my portfolio. I could select the ETFs I want and set the percentage of my portfolio I want autoinvested. Alternatively just set the individual ETF percentages to where I want them as a part of my whole portfolio (similar to how it is now, just without the need for it to make 100%).
Hayden Smith
Hey Josh, can you explain in more detail the issues you're having without this ability right now? Even just with an example
Josh Rands
Hayden Smith: I'm not having an issue. My original post pretty much explains what I mean. Rather than having to set your autoinvest total to 100%, it would be nice to set it to some other amount, say 50% instead. That way I can have part of my portfolio autobalancing & can self manage the other part.
Hayden Smith
Josh Rands: But right now you can exclude assets and essentially have them managed separately, and that wouldn't affect how the autoinvest plays out either? Just trying to understand if I am missing something
Josh Rands
Hayden Smith: Yes but excluding assets removes them from the portfolio tracking. Currently you can set a tracked asset to 0% in the autoinvest screen but that is not exactly what I mean. If I can set 50% of my portfolio to follow autoinvest rules (as in the total for autoinvest is 50% not 100% as it is required to be now), then I can manage the remainder myself, purchasing other shares as I see opportunities, while autoinvest maintains the 50% balance of the rest of the portfolio.
Hayden Smith
Josh Rands: Oh sure so you're saying you'd basically like autoinvest to pause/stop once your "automated" part of the portfolio reaches a certain absolute number (such that any more investing would put it above 50% of your portfolio)?
Josh Rands
Hayden Smith: Basically, yes. As it currently forces you to set 100% total for autoinvest targets, it'd be nice to be able to change that so I could set my portfolio to 50/50 or 70/30 etc & allow it to automate the balance of one part of my portfolio.

I agree, I havent been on here long enough to know but by the looks of it, all of your assets are included in Autoinvest when it makes a purchase. My autoinvest is setup to be 45% one ETF and 35% ETF and the rest between two other ETFs, if my portfolio is 90% stocks, Autoinvest will always make a buy order on the 45% allocation, I assume, as this is the "furthest from target" ETF. Everytime I try to update the active targets for Autoinvest it resets them to include my entire portfolio. The only thing I could think of to fix this was creating a second pearler account or set autoinvest to "rebalance" instead of "lowest first", neither of these are really optimal.
