Use the Diversification screen to see how your portfolio is spread across holdings, sectors, brokers and your own custom groups. You can switch between bar and pie charts, change the date, and export the data to Excel.
You can also watch the walkthrough video below for a quick visual guide.
What the Diversification Screen Shows
The Diversification screen gives you:
A bar or pie chart showing how your portfolio is allocated
An As at date so you can see diversification on a specific day
Options to include all positions (including sold holdings) or open positions only
A Group by menu so you can change how the chart is broken up (for example by holding or sector)
A detailed table under the chart listing each slice with value and weighting
An Export option to download the data to Excel
How to Open the Diversification View
Open the portfolio you want to analyse.
In the top menu, select Performance ▸ Diversification.
The Diversification screen will load with your current settings.
Tip: If you’re using filters elsewhere in Navexa, they may already be applied here. Check the filter bar at the top of the page.
Step 1. Set the “As at” Date
At the top left, use the As at date picker.
Choose Today to see your current diversification.
Pick a past date (for example, 30 June) to see how the portfolio looked on that day.
All market values and weightings on this page use the date you select.
Step 2. Choose Which Positions to Include
Next to the date, you’ll see the positions toggle:
All positions
Includes current and closed/sold holdings.
Use this if you want a full history of everything you’ve ever held in this portfolio.
Open positions only
Hides closed/sold holdings from the chart and table.
Use this if you only want to see where your money is currently invested.
Step 3. Use Filters (Optional)
Click Filter to narrow down what appears in the chart.
Common examples:
Show just one holding or ticker
Focus on a single exchange, sector or industry
Exclude a specific ETF or holding from the picture
Active filters show in the filter bar at the top. Click the x on a filter to remove it and return to your full view.
Remember: Filters do not change your data. They only change what you see.
Step 4. Choose How to Group Diversification
The Group by menu controls how the chart is broken up.
Depending on your account, you may see options like:
Holding – each individual investment gets its own slice or bar
Sector or Industry – group holdings by classification
Exchange – ASX, NASDAQ, NYSE, etc.
Broker / Source – group positions by broker feed
Custom Groups – any group sets you’ve created (for example, “Core / Satellite”, “Australian vs Global”, “Growth vs Income”)
Select an option and the chart will redraw using that grouping.
Example: Choosing Core and Satellite (a custom group) will show how much of the portfolio you’ve classified as Core and how much as Satellite.
Any holdings not yet assigned to a custom group may appear as their own “ungrouped” category until you allocate them.
Step 5. Switch Between Bar and Pie Charts
On the right side of the controls you’ll see chart type buttons:
Bar – shows allocation as horizontal or vertical bars
Pie – shows allocation as slices of a pie chart
Click Pie to see a traditional diversification view by percentage.
Click Bar if you prefer to compare values side-by-side.
You can hover over any bar or slice to see its:
Name (holding, sector, group, etc.)
Value
Weighting as a percentage of the portfolio
Step 6. Read the Table Under the Chart
Scroll down to see the detailed table.
For each item (holding, sector, group, etc.) you’ll typically see:
Name
Value (in your portfolio currency)
Weighting (% of the portfolio)
Use this table to:
Check exact values and percentages behind the chart
Sort by value or weighting to see your biggest exposures
Cross-check that holdings are in the correct group
If classifications (e.g. sector/industry) don’t look right, you can update them on the individual holding page and the Diversification view will reflect that change.
Step 7. Export Diversification to Excel
To download the data:
At the top right of the chart area, click Export.
Choose Excel (XLSX).
Navexa will download a spreadsheet with the same figures shown in the table.
You can then:
Share it with an adviser or accountant
Build your own pivot tables or charts
Store a copy for your records at a specific date
Common Questions
Why can’t I see some of my holdings?
Check:
The positions toggle (set to All positions if you want closed holdings).
Any filters that might be hiding certain holdings or sectors.
Your Group by setting – for example, grouping by Sector will combine holdings into broader categories.
What does “ungrouped” mean?
It usually means you’re using a Custom Group and some holdings haven’t been assigned to a group yet. Edit your group settings to classify them.
Can I change classifications like sector or industry?
Yes. Open the holding, go to Settings, and update its classification. Future diversification views will use that classification.
