How it Works

This diagram provides an overview of the steps necessary to send market alerts to your phone. A failure or delay in any one of these steps impacts your ability to receive a market alert. For this reason, Portfolio Toolbox cannot guarantee that market alerts will be delivered to your phone in a timely manner, if at all.

How do I setup market alerts on my phone?

Verify your mobile phone settings below. You will need to configure your Portfolio Toolbox e-mail address, phone number and mobile provider before setting up e-mail forwarding.

In order for market alerts to work, your e-mail address must match the e-mail address used by Vanguard.
Setup a filter to automatically forward a copy of e-mail sent from Alerts@Vanguard.com or vanguardalerts@factsetdigitalsolutions.com to alerts@portfoliotoolbox.com.
Configuring automatic e-mail forwarding of specific e-mail messages varies by e-mail provider. Please select your provider below for instructions on how to filter your e-mail to forward messages from specific senders to alerts@portfoliotoolbox.com.

If you use a different e-mail provider, the basic goal is to create a filter to forward e-mail based on sender. Please excercise care when configuring a filter to automatically forward e-mail so that you do not forward a copy of all e-mail to Portfolio Toolbox. Any invalid e-mail sent to Portfolio Toolbox will be discarded.
If you would like to configure Vanguard Stock & ETF alerts, login to your Vanguard account and navigate to Profile & account settings -> Mail preferences & alerts -> Stock & ETF alerts. These e-mail alerts are sent from vanguardalerts@factsetdigitalsolutions.com.
