Actual Model Percentage Report Column

Many of you have asked for a way to see the actual model percentage on your Rebalance Summary reports.  We’ve listened to your requests and have made it easy for you to add the actual model percentage column to the report in a few simple steps.

Note

Advisor Rebalancing calculates the actual model percentages for securities in Allocation models by multiplying the goal percentage of the Security Level model in the Allocation model by the goal percentage of the security in the Security Level model.

To add the actual model percentage column to a report, follow these steps:

  1. On the Reports menu, click Client Reporting.

  2. Under Rebalance Summary Templates, click the report you want to modify and then click Edit.

  3. Click the + in the Rebalance Summary Title section to expand the details of the report.

  4. In the Content list in the Summary Details sub-section, click Summary Details.

  5. In the Available Columns box, click Actual Model (%) and then click the > to add the column to your report.

  6. After you’ve added the Actual Model (%) to your report, click Save.  The next time you run the report, you’ll see actual model percentage column.
