Build a portfolio

Please note the portfolio tool is not available to Basic subscribers (at least the Premium package is needed).  Also, for more information about the difference between programs an portfolios see this topic.

Creating a Portfolio

To build a new portfolio, click the “New Portfolio” link in the left sidebar. Then choose a type of portfolio you are going to build. You can create either hypothetical portfolio or tracker portfolio.

1. Portfolio Instruments

It is possible to combine any number of programs and other instruments in your portfolio tearsheet. Feel free to add stocks, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, indices or managed futures from an external source. The selection of these instruments is really easy and allows you to choose from thousands of automatically updated securities.

1. To add a new instrument to the portfiolio, choose what kind of asset class you want to add
2. In the first column, write name of a stock (ndex, etc.) or its ticker
3. Set investment amounts and leverage (if available) to get allocationweights and click “Add to Portfolio”

2. Portfolio Calculation

Compound – We first calculate VAMIs (using notional amounts) for each program contained in the portfolio. Then we sum up and create a portfolio VAMI (using cash levels) from which we then calculate monthly portfolio numbers. It means those numbers are not just simple averages derived from individual program numbers.

Fixed – Allocations to programs are fixed (reset to their initial levels every month).

3. Edit Portfolio

To edit previously created portfolio, please go to portfolio edit page.
