Two Positions in Same Investment in Two Sub-portfolios

[Septaj]

Think you've answered this somewhere but could not find it ...

Client has two positions in same investment in two sub-portfolios. How do you recommend handling this in FM?

I know two separate investments could be set up with distinct .dat files but I am interested in having all of her exposure to this investment appear in one graph and/or one line in reports.

Thanks.

Hi Septaj,

You would want 2 investment files, so the transaction history is recorded separately for each account.

When reporting, you can "List By: Symbol", and it will combine all investments of the same symbol onto a single line item. If they are in two separate sub-portfolios, you could report on the parent sub-portfolio and not have on the option to sub-total by sub-portfolio.
