Manage shared family wealth like a fund.
A self-hosted portfolio platform that tracks funds, accounts, holdings, and goals across a family — with share-based fund accounting, bitemporal history, multi-account funds, multi-tenant access control, automatic price/position feeds, and quarterly PDF reports. Built with Laravel 12, live for 4 years.
What it does
Real accounting for a household, not a spreadsheet.
Multi-account funds
A fund can hold multiple accounts — a consolidated net-worth view across institutions.
Holdings & prices
Assets with full historical pricing across portfolios.
Transactions
A full ledger of every movement.
Goals & projections
Track targets and forward-looking projections over time.
Matching rules
Automate contributions and allocations.
Share loans
Internal lending — an account can borrow against its own balance, with a schedule and a payment simulator.
Multi-tenant ACL
Family-member logins with isolated data — multi-tenant by design.
Quarterly reports
PDF statements generated and emailed automatically, with new graphs and forward-looking projections.
Brokerage ingestion
Imports Interactive Brokers Flex statements.
The story
Built to manage a fund for the extended family — my siblings' kids and the next generation — aimed at long-horizon generational growth, with real accounting in place of spreadsheets. Live for 4 years; quarterly PDF statements are generated and emailed to family members automatically. The continuous, real operation is the credibility hook: it's not a demo.
Screenshots
Live dev environment, anonymized data — the real production system, just signed in as a test user.
Dashboard
The navigation hub — funds, accounts, transactions, share loans, trading, and reports.
Fund overview
Summary cards, net-worth-over-time chart, and portfolio breakdown.
Account detail
Per-account view — summary, goal progress, value / shares / share-price charts, performance tables, and the full transaction history.
Trading bands
Per-asset target allocations with deviation triggers, portfolio variants over time, and live drift charts. DS Trader feeds the prices; FamilyFund is the book of record.
Video walkthroughs
Narrated screen recordings over anonymized data — the real system, walked section by section.
Funds deep-dive
One fund, section by section — highlights, the financial-independence goal, asset groups, value versus the S&P 500, forward projections, and the admin-only views.
Account deep-dive
One member's account — market value, goals, balances over time, performance, matching, and borrowing against shares.
Share Loans
Borrowing shares against your own balance — the create form, an active loan's progress and schedule, admin readjustment, the payment simulator, and the fund-level loan exposure rollup.
Sample reports
Anonymized quarterly statements (PDF) — auto-generated and emailed every quarter to each family member.
Fund-level statement
Asset and portfolio allocation, monthly / yearly performance, 10-year linear-regression forecast, per-account share allocation. Synthetic data, real layout.
Account-level statement
Shares, market value, goal progress, transaction history, employer-matching rules, share-loan ledger. Synthetic data, real layout.
Under the hood
- Stack
- Laravel 12, PHP 8.2, MariaDB, Livewire 3, Tailwind.
- Accounting
- Share-based fund accounting
(accounts hold shares, not dollars) over bitemporal tables
(start/end-dated balances, positions, and prices) — enabling an
/as_of/{date}time-travel API. - Domain model
- Fund, Account, Transaction, Portfolio, Asset, AssetPrice, Goal, AccountMatchingRule, CreditLine.
- API
- Token-guard REST API; bulk price/portfolio ingestion endpoints consumed by DS Trader.
- Access control
- Multi-tenant role-based access (Spatie) — family-member logins with isolated data.
- Jobs
- Scheduled tasks for pricing, quarterly reports, and brokerage ingestion.
- Reporting
- Quarterly PDF statements with forward-looking projections and new graph types, generated and emailed.
- Testing
- ~240 test files / 2,200+ tests across 5 suites (Unit, Feature, API, Repository, golden-data).
- Ops
- Self-hosted, multi-tier backups; security scans in progress as the repo nears public release.
The integrated platform
FamilyFund is one half of a two-app platform. DS Trader — a live, rules-based algorithmic trading engine — pushes positions and prices in via REST. End-to-end ownership across Java, PHP, Python, data modeling, API design, and operations.
Reliability & operations
- ~240 test files / 2,200+ tests across 5 suites as a quality gate.
- Scheduled jobs + cron in production.
- Multi-tier backups.
- Real, continuous daily use, with quarterly PDF reports delivered to the family — the ultimate uptime test.
Roadmap
- Public repo release — completing security scans, then opening the repo with demo screenshots over synthetic data.
- Order-execution feedback loop — surface DS Trader order failures as admin-only data issues on FamilyFund pages, closing the loop between the two systems.
