Your statement and reports spell out exactly where your managed account stands, and how well you are meeting your investment objectives. You always can access a detailed account summary that examines your investment portfolio, and your managed account in particular.
Even if you take just a few minutes to look at the bottom line, you’ll have a clear picture of how your account performed over the chosen period.

By spending a little more time, you’ll be able to evaluate whether you’re making progress toward your financial goals. If you notice anything unusual or unexpected, it’s always a good idea to consult with your financial adviser. It’s also smart to keep a file of your statements so you can use them as the basis for a comprehensive annual review.

The numbers tell an important part of the story about your account. But you’ll typically also find an explanation of current market trends, an analysis of the economic factors that influenced investment results, and an overview of historical performance. Your adviser can help you put this information in perspective, and together you can decide if it’s time to make any changes in your asset allocation.

What is a portfolio summary?

A portfolio summary is a snapshot of the current value of your assets in comparison to their value at the end of the previous period. It also reports the percentage of your total portfolio assets in each managed account or other investment. While this information is important for determining how your account is doing, it’s equally important to view your account in the context of what’s happening in the investment markets at large.

Nothing is more crucial to making informed investment decisions than having a clear picture of exactly what’s happening in your accounts. The technical term is transparency, and it means that every transaction, every price, every return is promptly and accurately reported and available for everyone to see. In fact, transparency is a hallmark of any developed securities market. And it’s something investment managers take pride in providing.

Asset allocation

Your portfolio’s asset allocation, typically represented in a pie chart, is an important factor influencing investment performance. For example, if most of your assets are in stocks in a slow equity market, the value of your portfolio will drop. But if some of your assets are in a stronger-performing class, losses in your equities could be offset. If you’re not satisfied with your progress toward your goals, rethinking your allocation may be the place to start.

Understanding income summary in statements

Income summary highlights where your portfolio income – generally interest, dividends, and capital gains — came from during a certain period. This section is a convenient way to evaluate investment performance, especially if one of your goals is current income. It’s also a convenient way to keep your eye on your potential tax liability, particularly at the end of the third quarter when you have time to ask your investment manager to take losses or postpone gains.

Benchmark comparisons in your managed account reports

Benchmark comparisons show how your managed account has performed in comparison with its appropriate benchmark over various time periods. This analysis is key to evaluating your investment manager and the progress you are making toward your financial goals. Remember, though, that any investment that dramatically outperforms its benchmark in one period may well underperform the benchmark in a later period.

What is portfolio detail in managed account statement?

This listing of the individual assets in your managed account gives you a clear sense of what you own, what trades occurred and when, the estimated income and yield of each investment, and any unrealized gains or losses. The prices for securities listed on a market may be either the closing price on the date the cycle closed or the price as of the settlement date.

In conclusion

While it’s important to pay attention to the quarter-to-quarter changes in your portfolio’s value, you don’t want to lose sight of the fact that your goals are long-term. Unless an investment manager has failed to meet expectations quarter after quarter, when managers with similar objectives and styles have been turning in stronger performances, replacing one manager with another is unlikely to change the results you’re getting.

In fact, one of the biggest mistakes investors make is reacting too quickly to disappointing short-term results. Another is moving money into the current quarter’s hottest performers.
