How to understand the Analysis page

Instructions

The Analysis page will show all your portfolios,

Where your investments have us listed as your adviser, most products will show here and update automatically on a daily basis (usually with a 1-2 business day delay).

Each tab allows you to drill down a little deeper and explore the underlying holdings.

Portfolios tab

This allows you to see each entity, starting with yourself, then all linked portfolios from other legal entities (such as your partner, business, trust, or super fund).

You can click into each entity visible to see its details.

Investments tab

You can click into the Investments tab and see the underlying holdings within each portfolio.

You can also click on each investment to see its particular:

• Book cost
• Units held
• Price per unit
• % share within that portfolio
• Unrealised gain

Please note, whilst unrealised gains are shown, this is dependent on the information we have on file and should not be considered cost-base information usable for tax purposes.

Allocation tab

This shows how much you hold in each investment asset class. As this includes portions of underlying holdings, this may be a little different to what you expect.

For example, you might find the ‘Domestic Cash’ allocation is higher than you would expect, but this can include instances where managed funds have reported holding on to some cash within their fund.

To understand these better, you can click into each asset class and see precisely which holdings have exposure to that asset class and how much.

Transactions

Historical transactions can also be viewed in the transactions tab.

It can be worth keeping in mind that some transactions do not always show a complete picture, such as:

• Corporate actions for ASX-listed companies can look strange in transactions, especially if you don’t know the full details of the corporate action.
• Where we don’t have a complete view, it can make performance look incomplete, as dividends are paid to a bank account that isn’t available to us for reporting.
• Strategic changes, like moving an account from superannuation phase to pension phase, can create large volumes of transactions or gaps in the reporting. This can be true, even when the provider remains unchanged.

If something appears out of place, the first place to check is your direct product login, if you have one. Going to the source can be better, as we depend on those same providers to feed data to us.

If you’re at all concerned, or are facing any other problem, you can always call us during business hours on 0494 113 524, send us a message from within the portal, or contact us here and we’ll be in touch as soon as we’re able.
