The company now has visibility into over $1 trillion in linked account value or approximately 2% of U.S. investable assets, further proving that fintech is having its 'moment.'

Today, Personal Capital currently manages more than $17 billion in assets and growing.

"Today's investors tend to have complex financial lives. It's not uncommon for people to link 12 to 15 accounts on their personal dashboard," said Jay Shah, President of Personal Capital. "Knowledge is power and our free, financial tools help people consolidate and see all of their financial accounts securely in one place."

In response to the growing needs of the investor, Personal Capital today also announced the ability to track cryptocurrency on your personal dashboard. "Bitcoin recently hit a $1 trillion market cap and we realize tracking cryptocurrency is becoming increasingly important," said Vince Maniago Vice President of Product Management. "By adding these new tracking features, now you can literally see everything on your dashboard. You can track your home value, employee stock options, stock portfolio, other alternative investments and now your cryptocurrencies."

The company received a number of recognitions at the start of the new year for its financial tools, including recognition on CNBC Select and The Today Show as the "Best App for Investors."

Personal Capital continues to innovate and add to the functionality of its free tools. "We also just released a Portfolio Holdings Widget for iOS14 which allows investors to get a quick snapshot of how their investments are performing and a Savings Planner, for both iOS and Android," said Jim Del Favero, Chief Product Officer. "In response to market volatility, increased market commentary has been added to the dashboard so investors have near real-time information about what is driving the market."
