The Portfolio View provides an overview of the value each position contributes to the total value of positions in an Account. The value of a position represents the exposure or percentage of the total value of positions invested in a specific position. Therefore, absolute exposure can be measured:
- In comparison to the total value of positions
- In comparison to the previous day's absolute exposure
When absolute exposure is assessed in comparison to the total value of positions, it gives an indication of the weight of a position in relation to the total exposure or value of positions. The screenshot below shows absolute exposure and percentage absolute exposure. Absolute exposure is the dollar amount invested in a position. While percentage absolute exposure is the dollar amount invested in a position, in relation to the total value of positions. Adient Plc has a weight of or contributes 2.51% to the total value of positions. This can be used to determine which product carries the most weight or risk in an Account.
When position exposure is assessed in comparison to the previous day's absolute exposure, it informs on the changes in position value. The percentage day change shows whether the value of a position has increased or decreased in value, relative to the previous day's value for the same position. Adient Plc has fallen in value by 1.02% in comparison to the previous day's position value.
While the 1 Day Change measures the change in the Account Value. That is to say the value of the Account today relative to the previous day's Account Value.
Note, however, that the Value of Positions and 1 Day Change are real-time values. To view absolute exposure and percentage absolute exposure in real-time requires a price subscription.
