Do I need to link a brokerage account to use Openfolio?

No, anyone with an Openfolio profile can view the Investor Average and the other group benchmarks regardless if they link an account or not. You can also view our interactive stock charts and check our Insights page for the latest analysis of our data.

However, we have created a very privacy friendly platform where if you have a brokerage account, you should link it. No other user can ever see your holdings, trades, or performance without your consent (via Private Groups) and no user can ever see your account value under any circumstances. By linking your account you can fully benefit from the power of social benchmarks via the Investor Average and the Investors Like You benchmarks. At the same time, the information you anonymously and securely contribute by linking your portfolio helps us further improve our data quality.
