Portfolio Allocation by Asset Class

To meet long-term investment goals, most investors will need to maintain a well-balanced portfolio of stocks, bonds, cash and other investments. The Portfolio Allocation by Asset Class Report identifies rebalancing needs for a portfolio based on user defined portfolio allocation targets and current portfolio allocation weightings.  For combined portfolios, benchmark allocation targets will also be shown if ‘combined allocation targets’ have been entered. Users can also select to ‘only show current allocations’ for a single portfolio if they have not entered portfolio targets, or would like to review current allocations only.

The information contained on the Portfolio Allocation by Asset Class report includes:

• Asset Class:
  • Cash - includes Money Market Funds, Cash Equivalents, cash held by Mutual & Exchange Traded Funds.
  • Bonds - includes Corporate, Tax-Exempt, Governments, Agencies, bonds held by Mutual & Exchange Traded Funds.
  • Domestic Stocks - includes domestic common stocks, domestic common stocks held by Mutual & Exchange Traded Funds, and domestic preferred stocks.
  • Foreign Stocks - includes foreign stocks, foreign stocks held by Mutual & Exchange Traded Funds, and foreign preferred stocks.
  • Other - includes Investment Clubs, Options, Other Investments, other held by Mutual & Exchange Traded Funds.
• Current Allocation %: percentage the current class market value represents of the total portfolio market value.
• Target Allocation %: allocation percentages as defined by user.  
• Rebalancing Allocation %: current allocation percentage minus target allocation. Positive percentages indicate the portfolio is currently over-weighted in that class. Negative percentages indicate the portfolio is currently under-weighted in that class. This difference indicates the rebalancing needed to remain consistent with user-defined targets.
• Current Market Value: total market value of all components in the asset class.
