Here, you'll see a breakdown of your current holdings, with a value for Today's Change and a Market Value, which can be viewed for all accounts, or for individual investment accounts.

You can select any of the holdings displayed to see more details about the holding. You can also change the sort order of the holdings displayed by selecting the filter options to the upper right of the list.

Note: You can also access the holdings for an individual Investment Account by selecting the account from the Accounts section.
