What the data says

Share of investable assets, Q2 2026 (the quarter starting April 1), from the Federal Reserve's Distributional Financial Accounts:

Asset classTop 0.1%Top 1%Next 9%Next 40%Bottom 50%
Stocks & mutual funds58.9%54.5%34.3%12.6%4.6%
Private business equity17.4%14.7%7.6%4.1%2.1%
Real estate7.2%11.1%21.6%39.7%59.5%
Pensions & retirement1.7%4.9%19.0%26.2%15.4%
Cash & deposits5.3%5.5%7.2%8.7%9.6%

The top 0.1% is a subset of the top 1%, not a separate tier.

The wealthiest hold their wealth in businesses and equities; the bottom half hold theirs in a house. The pattern sharpens further up: the top 0.1% hold a smaller share in property than anyone else, and almost nothing in a pension.

Three things it computes

Allocation

Your holdings and each tier's, normalized to shares so they compare directly.

Gap

Per asset class, your share minus the benchmark's. A gap of 1.5pp or less is reported as “in line”, because the underlying data doesn't support finer precision.

Nearest tier

Cosine similarity between your mix and each tier's, so “looks like the next 40%” is a measured result.

What else to know

Published data, not estimates

Every number traces to the Fed's DFA release and is checked against its published totals on every refresh.

Self-hosted

One command (./setup.sh, or setup.ps1 on Windows) starts the dashboard and API together at one address any computer on your network can open. Saving portfolios is protected by a random token that setup generates. There's no default, and Financert won't start without one. Optional HTTPS add-on.

Works with no network

The Federal Reserve data ships inside it, so it never needs the internet. Installed as an app, the dashboard keeps working with its server unreachable, using the latest quarter for all six groupings (net worth, income, age, generation, education, race); saving portfolios and full history need the server.

Six languages

English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Arabic, including full RTL layout for Arabic.

Talks to an AI assistant

Includes a Claude Desktop extension (financert.mcpb) with six read-only tools, so Claude can answer “how does my portfolio compare to the top 1%?” from the same Fed data. Runs locally, stores nothing, needs no account.

Not investment advice

It reports what the data says. Copying the top 1%'s mix wouldn't reproduce their returns. About a seventh of their assets (14.7%) is equity in private businesses they own and run, and the data says nothing about risk, taxes, time horizon or leverage.
