Register-
The portfolio register report simply summarizes each of your account
values so that you can quickly see what your total portfolio is valued
at.
You can also click on the account code or account name
to bring up an appraisal for that particular account.
Appraisal-
The appraisal report separates all of your accounts out (un-consolidates) so that
you can view each of the account holdings separately, one after the other. For each
account, you will see all of your securities that are being held. The columns are
structured as follows:
Quantity- The number of shares
or units of the security that are currently held in the account.
Security Symbol- The ticker
symbol used by the company. Some securities (bonds, variable annuities, money market
funds) use CUSIP or internal numbers when ticker symbols are not available or not
applicable.
Description- The name of the
security.
Total Cost*- The total cost of
all units or shares of the security.
Price- The most recent price
available for the security.
Market Value- The most recent
value of the security (equals quantity x price).
Percent
of Assets- The percent of the individual account assets that are invested in this security.

Transactions-
The transaction report shows all transactions in each of
your accounts over the past few quarters. By default, the report
brings up only the transactions for the current month, but you can
easily change that by using the the drop down box at the top of the
report.
Filtering with the provided drop down boxes allows you
to:
-
View transactions for all accounts are for just one
particular account
-
View all transactions over the past several months
or for just one particular month
-
View all transaction types or just certain kinds of
transactions. The transaction types which can be filtered include:
-
Buys and Sells- Any purchases or sales
including tenders, position covers, and reinvested dividends
-
Deposits and Withdrawals- Any money or
securities going in or out of an account. This includes
certain reorganizations of stocks.
-
Interest and Dividends- Any interest,
dividend, or payment activity derived from ownership of a
security. Also includes principle paydown and return of
capital transactions. This does not include stock splits.
-
Money Market Activity- Basically
any activity dealing with the money market balance. This
includes all sweeps activity with cash and interest accrued on
the money market balance which is paid at the end of the month.
You may notice that "sell"
transactions for securities bought in multiple lots will show
each individual lot on a separate line. This is done so
that gains or losses on each purchase can be correctly
calculated for tax purposes.
Today's
Gain/Loss-
This report shows how much money each of your securities
and your entire portfolio has gained or lost during that particular
business day. It displays a twenty-minute delayed quote on
all securities if there is a quote available and calculates the gain or
loss on each security during that day. Only securities with a
ticker symbol will have an updated quote available. Mutual fund
quotes are updated at around 6pm EST.
This report shows the value as of yesterday's close and
then shows an updated value based on the quotation information
available. Although quote information is updated throughout the
day, transaction information your accounts are not reflected in the
report until the next business day.
Unrealized Gain/Loss-
This report shows your current holdings and how much in totals gains you
have in each security. It does not show securities that have been
sold. Here is a description of the information you will see.
-
Open Date- The original purchase date of the
security. If you have made multiple purchases or have
reinvested dividends, the oldest date available is used.
-
Unit Cost*- The total cost per share.
-
Total Cost*- What you paid for the security
including any reinvested dividends and adjusted for any spin-off
transactions.
-
Total Gain- Simply the difference between the
current value and the total cost.
-
Percent Gain- The total gain as a percentage of the
total original cost.
Please note that if only part of a holding is sold in a
security that you have bought in multiple transactions, we apply
"First-in-First-out" (FIFO) tax-lot accounting to the cost
basis, unless we are otherwise informed. This means that the
oldest shares, regardless of the cost, will be sold first and is
reflected in our Total Cost calculations.
