Drift arrows
How far each part drifted from its target.
Definition · Updated Nov 2, 2026
Drift arrows draw each part of a portfolio or mix from where it is now toward its target, so overweight and underweight parts show by direction and length. Very small drifts get no arrow. Use it for portfolio rebalancing, budget allocation and channel mix.

At the right edge of each asset's row, in points (+3.0 PT for US equity).
One data object in the sample’s shape: a target and a current share per part. The docs page lists every field and links its JSON Schema; the sample data comes with the component, so you can start from it and swap in your own.
Series take the preset’s data colours in order, and states such as up, down or warning take its status colours. Change the preset in Figma or in code to recolour every chart at once.
XS, S, M and L, in light and dark. Each size is laid out again from the data, so text and lines keep their size.
Yes. It plays in when it scrolls into view, and when the data changes every mark moves from its old place to its new one. With reduced motion on, it does not move.
Yes. The React component is free in the public registry in Hearth, no token needed; Signal comes with Code and Complete. The Figma component comes with Figma and Complete.
Ask for it by name. The MCP server tells the agent what data it needs and runs the same command: npx shadcn add @chartory/drift-arrows. You review the diff.
