turbobulls

Personal finance tool Turbobulls has launched a new inflation feature that measures rising prices against a user's own money rather than headline inflation figures. Hovering over a date on the net worth chart shows what that day's cash and investments would buy today. A Wallet view displays losses on idle cash, and the Portfolio shows an inflation break-even line. The tools are part of the paid Turbo Pro tier.

Personal finance writer Turbobulls has broken down its 'cost efficiency' measure, defined as one minus the fees and taxes paid on trades divided by total gains. The author notes the metric's honest limitation: it cannot capture a fund's own ongoing charge, because that is deducted inside the fund's price and never shows up as a transaction. Investors are directed to the fund factsheet for that figure.
