The Portfolio section has been created with the intention to simplify and improve your experience in keeping track of your account activity.
This guide will provide a brief overview of the changes to the section and how they will improve the monitoring of your investments and trades.
Note that the images below are showing our SaxoTrader platform and that the same applies to SaxoInvestor too.
Accounts overview
The accounts overview gives you a quick status of your account value, 1-day change and year-to-date on both single and aggregated account level.
Overview
If you click Show account you will come to the overview section which provides you with a summary of your account, or accounts if you have more than one - then you need to click Show account at Total.
At the top, you will see your account value, cash and your 1-day return. Below, you can see your positions grouped by product, as well as a breakdown of your cash holdings. Finally, at the very bottom, allocation charts show what your portfolio consists of split into Product, Sector and Currency Exposure.
Performance
This section provides you with a detailed breakdown of your account’s historical performance, adjustable by the time period of your choice.
You can view the net deposits for any time period you select.
You can see the development of your account value and returns in two charts. For the returns chart, you can add a benchmark to compare the performance with. You can also see the profit loss breakdown with the possibility of grouping by product. By clicking on an instrument, you can get more insights on the earnings, returns and transactions history for the instrument.
Transactions
The transactions section shows a list of all the events that have affected your account. You can adjust the transactions overview by using the filters: trades, corporate actions, and cash transfers. To get an in-depth breakdown of a single transaction, simply click the drop-down on any transaction which will bring up the transaction details.
It is also possible to download a PDF or Excel sheet of your transaction history by clicking "Export".
Corporate actions
The corporate actions tab is where you will find information about activities relating to corporate actions such as dividends and shareholder voting. Here you will see your upcoming, active, and past corporate events and see if any action needs to be taken.
