Best Portfolio Tracker for Colombia Investors

Track your home country investments in COP alongside every currency you earn and spend in — built for nomads and expats living in Colombia.

Why tracking investments in Colombia is different

Colombia has become one of Latin America's most popular destinations for digital nomads and international investors. Cities like Medell\u00edn, Bogot\u00e1, and Cartagena offer a compelling mix of low cost of living, modern coworking infrastructure, and a growing startup ecosystem. The introduction of Colombia's Digital Nomad Visa in 2022 formalized what thousands of remote workers had already discovered — this is one of the best places in the world to live and work remotely.

For investors living in or moving to Colombia, managing a portfolio across currencies is an unavoidable reality. The Colombian Peso is one of the more volatile emerging market currencies, regularly swinging 10 to 15 percent against the US dollar within a single year. Most nomads and expats in Colombia keep their investments in home country brokerages denominated in USD, EUR, or GBP while paying daily expenses in COP. Without a tool that tracks both sides of that equation, it is impossible to know your real net worth on any given day.

FlashFi is a multi-currency portfolio tracker that lets you see your investments, savings, and net worth in COP, USD, EUR, or any of 30+ supported currencies simultaneously. It pulls live exchange rates so you always know what your US brokerage account or European ETFs are actually worth in pesos, and what your total financial picture looks like from your apartment in El Poblado or Chapinero.

Key challenges for Colombia investors

COP volatility makes net worth unpredictable

The Colombian Peso regularly experiences sharp movements against major currencies. In recent years, USD/COP has traded in a range spanning thousands of pesos, meaning the local purchasing power of a USD-denominated portfolio can shift dramatically in a matter of weeks. For anyone earning or spending in COP while holding investments abroad, this creates a constantly moving target that standard portfolio trackers completely ignore.

Home country investments are invisible in local terms

Most digital nomads and expats in Colombia maintain brokerage accounts with Interactive Brokers, Charles Schwab, or other international platforms. These accounts report in USD or EUR, but your rent in Medell\u00edn is in pesos and your monthly budget is in pesos. Without converting your portfolio value to COP in real time, you have no way to understand what your investments can actually buy in the country where you live.

Colombian tax residency triggers at 183 days

Spending 183 days or more in Colombia within a calendar year makes you a tax resident, potentially subject to Colombian income tax on worldwide income. Many digital nomads are unaware of this threshold or track it loosely. Understanding the COP value of foreign investment gains becomes important once Colombian tax obligations apply, and keeping a clear record of portfolio values at residency transition points is essential for tax compliance.

Fragmented financial picture across countries

A typical expat or nomad in Colombia might hold a 401(k) or ISA from their home country, a brokerage account with international equities, savings in a Colombian bank in COP, and perhaps some regional investments through platforms like Tyba or Trii. Each of these sits in a different platform, denominated in a different currency, with no unified view of total wealth. Assembling this picture manually in a spreadsheet is tedious and immediately outdated the moment exchange rates move.

Frequently asked questions

Can I track my US brokerage account in Colombian Pesos?

Yes. Set COP as your base currency in FlashFi and every holding in your US brokerage account will be converted to pesos using live exchange rates. You can switch between COP, USD, and any other currency at any time to see your portfolio from different perspectives.

Does FlashFi work with Colombian brokerages like Tyba and Trii?

Yes. FlashFi uses manual portfolio entry, so it works with any brokerage regardless of location. You can track holdings from Tyba, Trii, or any other Colombian platform alongside your international accounts in one unified dashboard.

How does COP volatility affect my portfolio tracking?

FlashFi updates exchange rates daily, so your COP-denominated net worth always reflects current market conditions. The currency impact tracking feature shows you exactly how much of your portfolio's movement in peso terms came from actual asset performance versus COP/USD exchange rate changes.

Will I owe Colombian taxes on my foreign investments?

If you spend 183 days or more in Colombia within a calendar year, you become a tax resident and may owe Colombian taxes on worldwide income, including foreign investment gains. FlashFi is a portfolio tracker, not a tax advisor, but having clear records of your portfolio values across currencies is essential for accurate tax reporting.

Can I track investments in multiple currencies at once?

Yes. FlashFi supports over 30 currencies including COP, USD, EUR, GBP, MXN, and many more. You can hold investments denominated in any supported currency and see everything converted to your chosen base currency with real-time FX rates.
