Overview

The Client Web Portal displays investment performance, portfolio values, asset allocation and document information using data stored in AdviserLogic. Most figures shown in the portal are sourced directly from AdviserLogic reports, allowing you to reconcile the information clients see with your internal records.

This article explains how each value is calculated, where the data originates, and how you can verify the results within AdviserLogic.

Your Annual Investment Performance

The Annual Investment Performance card provides a summary of portfolio performance over the selected date range.

Dates


The end date will default to the last full trading day.

The start date will default to today’s date for the previous calendar year.

Ending Balance


The Ending Balance represents the total value of all investment and superannuation holdings at the close of business on the selected end date.

This value matches the Market Value column in the Valuation Report.

Total Gain

Total Gain shows the increase or decrease in portfolio value over the selected period, excluding management fees.

This matches the Income & Growth column in the Income & Growth Report.

Calculation

Total Gain = (Value at End) − (Value at Start) − (Additions − Withdrawals) + Income

Where:

  • Value at End = Units at End × Price at End

  • Value at Start = Units at Start × Price at Start

  • Additions = Contributions and Purchases

  • Withdrawals = Redemptions and Sales

Cumulative Contribution

Cumulative Contribution displays the portfolio rate of return for the selected period.

For reporting periods of one year or less, this matches the Actual ROR column in the Income & Growth Report.

For portfolios, the displayed value is the weighted average return across all holdings.

For individual holdings of one year or less:

Net Return = Income & Growth ÷ (Value at Start + Additions)

Recalculating XIRR

  • Go to the Assets & Liabilities tab > Assets

  • For a selected holding, hover over the vertical ellipsis (three dots) and select Transaction List from the drop-down.

  • Highlight the transactions, copy (Ctrl + c), and paste (Ctrl + v) them into an Excel spreadsheet.

  • Delete any transactions that fall outside of the date range.

  • For holdings that start after inception, add a row for the starting balance, noting the start date in the Date column, and add the balance at this date in the Amount column. (The balance at the start date can be taken from the Value at Start column on the Income & Growth Report in AdviserLogic if the report is configured to the same dates.)

  • For holdings that remain in place after the end date, add a row for the ending balance, noting the end date in the Date column, and add the balance at this date in the Amount column. (The balance at the end date can be taken from the Value at End column on the Income & Growth Report in AdviserLogic if the report is configured to the same dates.)

  • Sort the data by date, with the earliest date first.

  • Ensure that the start balance and any contributions are negative values.

  • Ensure that the end balance and any withdrawals or income are positive values.

  • In a new cell in the excel sheet, click Formulas > Financial > XIRR

  • In the values field, select the range of cells in the Amount column.

  • In the date field, select the range of cells in the Date column.

  • The result will equal the Net Returns figure on the Client Wealth Portal.

  • A worked example of this calculation is available in Excel for further reference.

Cumulative Contribution – Additions

This value shows all contributions and purchases made during the selected period.

It matches the Additions column in the Income & Growth Report.

Calculation

Additions = Sum of all contributions and purchases

Cumulative Contribution – Withdrawals

This value shows all withdrawals, redemptions and sales made during the selected period.

It matches the Withdrawals column in the Income & Growth Report.

Calculation

Withdrawals = Sum of all redemptions and sales

Your Top Holdings and Asset Allocation

Asset Allocation %

The Asset Allocation section displays how investments are distributed across asset classes.

The percentages displayed match the Asset Allocation Report in AdviserLogic.

Top 10 Allocated Holdings

  • This card lists the top 10 holdings across the entire portfolio based on Market Value.

  • The Amount column displays the Market Value of each holding.

  • The Weight column displays the Market Value of a holding / the Market Value of the Portfolio.

Your Net Worth

This section provides an overview of all investment accounts, displaying each account name and its corresponding balance. Lifestyle assets are not included.

Your Accounts (Net Worth)

Net Worth is calculated as

Total Assets − Total Debts

Assets

Includes balances for

  • Superannuation

  • Investment portfolios

  • Cash accounts

Balances may be displayed at the platform level or as consolidated off-platform assets.

Debts

Documents

This card provides an overview of any files/documents shared by the adviser or client for mutual visibility.

For any documents filed under a Category in the Document Vault, the category will appear as a folder name in this field.

Files that have not been assigned a category will be listed directly, with the file name appearing under the Name column.


Read

Will state read if the file has been opened.

Folders will have a blank status, as the status will only apply to the underlying files.

Modified

Shows the date that the file was last saved to the Document Vault.

Folders will have a blank date as the modified date will only apply to the underlying files.

Investment Summary

Refer to the Overview section for explanations and calculations of the following :

How are my investments doing?

Ending Balance

The blue Ending Balance line on the chart maps the Total Portfolio Value at the end of each month the nominated timeframe.

The Ending Balance figure is the total portfolio balance as at the close of business for the nominated end date.

Cumulative Contribution

The red Cumulative Contribution line on the chart maps the sum of Additions minus the sum of Withdrawals at the end of each month during the nominated timeframe.

The Cumulative Contribution figure is the net investment (Additions – Withdrawals) during the nominated timeframe.

How are my investments diversified?

The asset allocation pie chart matches the pie chart on the Overview page.

How much have my investments grown?

This bar chart shows how your investments have performed over the selected period. This is taken from the Actual ROR in the Income and Growth Report.

To replicate each amount in AdviserLogic select the date range (eg. 01/01/2022 - 31/01/2022) in the Income & Growth Report and refer to the Actual ROR column or calculate this manually as outlined in the Overview section.

It is calculated monthly when 1 year or less is selected as the duration and yearly when more than 1 year is selected.

Since the period selected is always less than 1 year, it refers to the Actual ROR for that period.

Which of my accounts are included?

Value

The value is equal to the End Balance on the Overview page

Value = Units at End * Price at End


Net Investment

The Net Investment is equal to Additional minus Withdrawals for the nominated timeframe.

Where a different date range is specified to the Overview page, the value will capture the difference between Additions and Withdrawals for that range.

Returns

The Returns figure shows the net returns over the nominated timeframe.

Where a different date range to the Overview page is specified, the value will capture the Net Returns figure for that range.

Inception Date

This field shows the date of the first investment in the specified holding and is not impacted by the nominated timeframe.

Holdings in My Household

Value

The value is the End Balance for each holding.

Weight

The Weight is the proportional value of the holding relative to the total portfolio value.

Weight = Value / Total Portfolio Value and is expressed as a percentage.

Shares

The number of shares held in the specified holding at the End Date.

Security Type

This field shows the classification based on Morningstar data.
