To drill into an investment account to see its entries, double click it.
Sort by
The investments can be listed in code order, by name or by fund.
Date
The values shown for the holding, cost and market value are by default the latest values. Please note that the Date selection field allows this data to be viewed as at any date.
The user either selects <Year End> in the drop down list or enters the desired date and presses the Tab key to refresh the list. To see the Market Value column populated ensure that share prices are entered in the security price table for each security in the list and match the date to the date entered in the security prices table.
Show
The list can show investments relating to securities, properties or both.
Long Desc
Some securities have very long names and the end of the name is truncated in the normal display. For instance many German bonds have long names and the maturity date may be obscured. If Long Desc is ticked the system redisplays the investment accounts without the Cost and Market Value columns allowing more space for a wider security name column.
Zero holdings
Tick to include zero holdings on the list of investment accounts. Untick to suppress them.
New, Edit and Delete buttons
Add, edit or delete an investment account.
An investment cannot be deleted if it still has entries. In practice investments are usually deleted automatically using the option to Delete Redundant Investment Accounts as part of the Clear Down procedure.
Entries button
Drill into an investment account to see its entries. This is the same as double-clicking an investment.
Find button
Find a security investment by its code or name.
Grid Edit
This option allows the Grid Edit to be used on all the securities in a client s portfolio. This can be useful for checking that each holding has a security price present as at a particular date. In this case, click Grid Edit, select field Reporting Price, click Add, enter the required date and press OK.
Copy from other client
Allows investments and transactions to be copied from another client or fund.
Override security prices
Allows client level security prices to be entered for the portfolio.
The client price is entered in the Price column and overrides the amount in the latest price column which comes from the Security Price table for each security.
