Kinetiq Brief

Your portfolio, explained.

Kinetiq Brief turns your holdings — stocks, ETFs, bonds, commodities and crypto — plus your watchlist and investment theses into a personalized weekly briefing: what changed, why it matters, where risk is building, and what deserves your attention next.

Serious, professional-grade coverage — explained plainly, whether you're a seasoned investor or just getting started.

Stop reading everything. Understand what matters to your portfolio.

A weekly read for investors — not real-time signals or day-trading. Want active BTC/SOL strategies? See AlphaVault →

A major cloud provider says one third of new internal AI workloads now run on in-house chips — a datapoint toward your stated invalidation condition, without meeting it.

The problem

Financial news is abundant. Relevant understanding is not.

  • Generic newsletters don't know what you own.
  • A 10% move in a 0.5% position barely matters. A 1% move in a 35% position does.
  • ETF overlap hides concentration you can't see in your broker app.
  • Nobody has time to research every holding, every week.

How it works

1

Add your portfolio and interests

Manual entry or CSV — stocks, ETFs, bonds, commodities, crypto and cash. No broker connection required.

2

Kinetiq identifies what matters

Events are ranked by portfolio exposure, materiality and source quality — then checked against your theses.

3

Receive your weekly Brief

Once a week, on your chosen day — by email and in your web archive. Sometimes the honest answer is: nothing material changed.

What's inside

Personalized Brief

Once a week, on the day you choose — a citation-backed briefing built from your actual holdings, delivered by email and kept in your archive.

Portfolio Impact

See contribution to your portfolio, not raw price moves. Know what actually moved your money.

Thesis Monitor

Write down why you own each position. Kinetiq checks new evidence against your own assumptions.

Market backdrop

The macro that moves you — rates, the dollar, oil, volatility and gold — ranked by your actual exposure, each explained in one plain line, even for things you don't own.

Pulse

A transparent market-regime view with published methodology — no black-box fear-and-greed number. (Preview: runs on a documented demonstration regime until a licensed feed is added.)

Plus a Risk Lab — a deterministic position-size calculator for active traders sizing an entry with a stop. Optional; skip it if you invest for the long term.

Why not just ask ChatGPT?

A general chatbot doesn't know what you own — and won't tell you when it's guessing.

Built for trust

A briefing you can check, not a black box.

Sources are cited

Every external fact in a Brief links to its source and publication date.

Deterministic calculations

Portfolio metrics come from tested code. AI explains; it never calculates your numbers.

Facts vs. interpretation

Confirmed facts, portfolio relevance, interpretation and uncertainty are always separated.

No execution, no custody

Kinetiq never touches your broker, never places trades, never asks for broker credentials.

Pseudonymous by design

No real name, no address, no broker logins — just an email. Your portfolio is not tied to your identity, never sold, never used to train AI.

Freshness is visible

Every value shows its data status — live, end-of-day, user-entered or demonstration.

From the founder

Why I built Kinetiq Brief

I've always wanted to understand my own investments properly. Not to be told what to do, but to actually see what I own, why it moves, and where my risk really sits.

I'm a builder. With today's tools I can finally create the things I wish existed, and I've become genuinely proud of what I can make. Kinetiq Brief started as something I built for myself: a clear, weekly explanation of my own portfolio instead of a flood of headlines that don't know what I hold.

It helped me, so I want to share it, hear from people, and keep improving it. I'm not a financial advisor, and Kinetiq doesn't give advice. It gives you the information, clearly. The decisions stay yours.

FAQ

Is Kinetiq Brief financial advice?

No. Kinetiq Brief provides informational and educational portfolio analytics. It does not provide individualized investment advice, execute trades or guarantee outcomes. It never tells you to buy or sell.

Is this for day traders or crypto traders?

Not really. Kinetiq is a calm, weekly read for investors who want to understand their portfolio — not real-time alerts, day-trading signals, or on-chain crypto. If you're after active BTC/SOL trading strategies, that's our sister project, AlphaVault (alphavault.net).

How often do I receive a Brief?

Once a week, on the day and time you choose — deliberately. The product filters a week of noise into one briefing; it does not ping you daily. Every Brief also stays in your web archive.

Can I refresh my Brief after changing my portfolio?

Yes. When your holdings change, your Brief flags itself and offers a Regenerate button. Each plan includes a set number of manual regenerations per day (Free 2, Plus 5, Pro 10) — and your Brief refreshes automatically every week regardless.

What does choosing a portfolio type do?

It tailors your Brief to how you actually invest. Pick from long-term, income, balanced, active/swing, short-term or other — each with a plain-English description. Your type shapes two things: which stories rise to the top (a short-term trader sees more catalysts and fresh, fast-moving news; a long-term investor sees more structural, thesis-affecting developments; an income investor sees more on dividends, payouts and credit), and the wording of the analysis. It never changes the numbers, never invents relevance, and never becomes a recommendation. You can change it anytime in Settings, and a severe event on something you own is always surfaced regardless of type.

Which assets are supported?

Stocks, ETFs, bonds (government and corporate/high-yield credit), commodities (gold, silver, copper and broad indices), major cryptocurrencies and cash — all priced live and shown as their own slices in your allocation. Mutual funds are on the roadmap. You can also add anything not listed as a custom asset with a value you maintain.

Does Kinetiq connect to my broker?

No. You enter holdings manually or via CSV import. Kinetiq never asks for broker credentials and holds no custody of funds.

How do I import my holdings from a CSV?

Choose "Import my portfolio" during setup, or use the Import button on the Holdings page. The importer is deliberately forgiving: include a symbol (or ticker/ISIN) column and a quantity column in any order — extra columns are ignored, so a raw export from most brokers works as-is, and broker transaction exports (Trade Republic and similar) are supported too. There's an on-screen guide with an example and a downloadable template, and you always preview and confirm exactly what will be added before anything is saved. If your file uses unusual column names we can't recognise, you can map the columns yourself, so you almost never have to reformat a file.

How current is the market data?

Prices are pulled live — equities and ETFs from public market feeds (delayed or end-of-day depending on the asset), crypto in real time, and FX from ECB reference rates. Every value shows its exact data status (live, delayed, end-of-day, a value you entered, or demonstration) and timestamp, so nothing stale is ever presented as current.

Where does the news in my Brief come from?

Two places. For each asset you hold, Kinetiq fetches that asset's own news feed; separately it always pulls a small set of macro feeds — interest rates, the US dollar, oil, broad equities, market volatility and gold — that fill the "Market backdrop" section regardless of what you own. The AI only classifies and explains what those feeds return, always from a cited source. Full detail, including current limitations, is on the methodology page.

Why is coverage of my European funds thin?

Honest answer: the free, publicly-syndicated feeds we use during beta return little or no news for European-listed funds (tickers ending in .AS, .DE, .L). As a stopgap we source news from a US-listed equivalent so the holding isn't silent, but it's a bridge. Before we leave beta and charge anything, we're moving to a licensed news feed with proper European coverage and news sourced by theme. See the methodology page for what's covered today and what's coming.

Why should I care about macro news for things I don't own?

Because they quietly move what you do own — a stronger dollar changes the value of your US holdings in euros, rising rates pull money out of stocks and push down bonds, oil feeds inflation which moves central banks, and a volatility spike drags most assets down together. Each Market-backdrop item in your Brief shows how exposed your portfolio actually is. There's a short plain-English guide at /finance/kinetiq-brief/learn.

How is my portfolio information used?

Only to build your briefing and analytics. It is not sold, not used for advertising, and not used to train AI models. The AI that writes your Brief sees ticker symbols and percentage weights — never your name, email or account value. Full details in the Privacy Notice.

Do I have to use my real name?

No. Kinetiq is pseudonymous by design: an email address and any display name you like. We never ask for your real name, address or ID during beta — and your holdings are stored in an EU database (Frankfurt) that only your account can read.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes, anytime, effective at the end of the billing period. Your data export and deletion rights work regardless of plan.

How does the Risk Lab calculate position size?

From your own inputs: risk budget = equity × risk %, quantity = budget ÷ (stop distance + estimated costs), constrained by allocation and cash limits. The full formula is on the methodology page.

Can I set my own risk thresholds?

Yes. The Risk Radar flags concentration (largest position, top-3, sector exposure) at default 'attention thresholds' — common rules of thumb, not limits or advice. In Settings you can set your own levels to match your tolerance, and the change applies across all your Briefs instantly. The exact defaults and reasoning are on the methodology page.

Does Kinetiq tell me what to buy?

No. It explains what happened, what it means for your portfolio, and what remains uncertain. Decisions stay yours.

A personalized financial newspaper, built around the assets you actually own.
