What’s changed?
Once you’ve created a Consolidated View, you may then:

This expanded functionality allows you to easily compare the performance of portfolios at a glance, without having to switch back and forth between them.

2 -- Run a Contribution Analysis Report
You may now also run a Contribution Analysis Report on a Consolidated View:
Previously unavailable for Consolidated Views, the Contribution Analysis Report provides insights into the drivers of your portfolio’s performance, be they particular stocks, assets, or exposure to certain countries, sectors, or industries. In the example above, we’re learning which sectors have had the biggest impact on our family’s consolidated portfolio returns.
