Accessing the Watchlist
- Launch Kwanti and navigate to the Portfolio Analytics section.
- Click the Watchlist button at the top of the screen.
Creating a Watchlist
The first time you click Watchlist, Kwanti prompts you to create one:
- Click Watchlist in the top navigation.
- In the dialog box, enter a name for the watchlist (for example, Tech Stocks or Client Holdings).
- Click Ok.
Create as many watchlists as you need to organize different groups of assets.
Adding Positions to Your Watchlist
There are two ways to add positions to your watchlist:
Method 1: Add Individual Positions
- Click the Add button at the top of the watchlist.
- Type in the ticker symbol of the asset you want to add.
Method 2: Import Multiple Positions via CSV
- Click the Import button at the top of the watchlist.
- Select a CSV file from your computer that contains a column with ticker symbols.
- Kwanti will automatically import all valid tickers from the file.
Note: As long as your CSV file has a column containing ticker symbols, the import will work. The file does not need to follow a specific format.
Customizing Columns
Symbol is a fixed first column. You can add, remove, and reorder the remaining columns to suit your analysis.
Selecting Columns
Available metrics are grouped by type:
- Price and volume: Last Close, Change (%), Change ($), 5D Volume, Prior Day Volume, Avg 10D Volume, Prior Day Range, 52W High/Low

Adding Return Columns
When you select Return, a Return Period dialog box opens with timeframes from 1w through 30y, plus Ytd. Each timeframe you select becomes its own column.
- Select the timeframes you want.
- Click Ok.

You can customize the order of columns by dragging and dropping:

- Drag it to your desired position.
- Release to drop the column in its new location.
Sorting by Column
- Click a column header to sort by that column in ascending order.
- Click again to sort in descending order.
Managing Multiple Watchlists
Kwanti allows you to create and manage multiple watchlists to organize different asset groups:
- Use the watchlist dropdown at the top of the screen to switch between your watchlists.
- Click New to create an additional watchlist.
- Click Save As to duplicate an existing watchlist with a new name.
By organizing assets into multiple watchlists, advisors can efficiently monitor different sectors, client holdings, or investment strategies.
