Is linking brokerage worth it for tracking investments?

It is worth it if you want automatic portfolio tracking and related news or alerts in one place. It is less useful if you prefer to keep everything manual or do not want to connect outside accounts.

Best for: Investors with multiple holdings who want convenience.
Not best for: Privacy-focused users or people who track everything manually.
Example: A linked account can make it easier to monitor holdings without entering each stock by hand.
