Aggregate Sub-Portfolio Reporting

Questions on using, creating, or understanding data in Fund Manager reports.

Postby AssetHound » Thu Feb 06, 2020 10:18 am

I have each broker I use setup as a separate sub-portfolio. I need to be able to get total broker reports when needed and that is relatively straight-forward to do.

In each sub-portfolio (broker), I also do trading. Is there some way to code trading transactions so that I could pull out a summary trading report -- which would include trading transactions across multiple sub-portfolios (brokers)?

If I wasn't concerned with monitoring trading positions, I could just enter the net of the trade as a "distributed dividend" and create some sort of unique label for that transactions. I guess I could also create a unique symbol (e.g., XTRDE assuming it wasn't already used) and just report on a symbol. I think I'm leaning toward the latter solution as it would be important to get trading positions and total buy/sell amounts in the report.

Any other thoughts would be helpful. Thanks.

Hi AssetHound,

You can use an "Investment Transaction" report, and a filter. You can run that report at any level of sub-portfolio hierarchy, so you can run it at a level that includes all your accounts. You can filter by a variety of items, including memo contents. See the "Filter..." button in the Report Settings dialog when creating an Investment Transaction report.
Thanks,
Mark

That report will work. However, the trades have to be associated with a specific symbol already in the portfolio and entered as a transaction for that symbol. I tend to trade many different securities and just put one overall gain/loss as a daily transaction in my cash account. I do give them a unique distribution label but only use the cash account.

So, I could still create my unique trading symbol (same symbol in all portfolios) and enter a trade transaction under that symbol. The balance would then get transferred over to the cash account in that sub-portfolio, and reporting should be straight-forward.

I haven't tried this yet, but if you see any issues, please let me know. Thanks.
