How Include Target Allocation Works
| Applies to: | ||
|---|---|---|
| ✔ Dynamic |
✔ Client Portal |
|
This setting allows you to compare the current asset allocation side-by-side with a target allocation, if a target allocation has been assigned to the account or group.
You might want to use this option if you're trying to evaluate how closely an account or group adheres to the target allocation, as the Asset Allocation report provides several options for easy side-by-side comparison.
Tip
When creating report views, keep in mind that target allocations and benchmarks are typically assigned at the group level. If you want to see target allocation, you will want to set up your report view at the group level also.
In Dynamic Reports
-
To see the standard asset allocation report for the account or group, clear the Include target allocation check box.
-
To see current asset allocation compared to the target allocation, select the Include target allocation check box.
Use target allocations to track and compare account holdings to account targets. Target allocations make it easy for you to compare the holding goals at the account and group levels and help you determine if you need to adjust the holdings based on the investment policy of the portfolio.
For more information on setting up and assigning target allocations, see Target Allocations.

Target Allocation Chart Label
This setting lets you decide the label for the target allocation data. You can choose:
-
Use target name: This will use the name of the target, for example, Moderate Conservative or Aggressive 80/20 Equity/Bond.

Use text: This allows you to type in a custom name for the target allocation. When you initially select Use text, the default text entry is Target Allocation. You can edit text this to any label you want.

Highlight Rows Outside Target Allocation Min/Max Range
This setting allows you to mark on the table all the categories that are outside the target allocation range.
If No Target Allocation is Assigned, Group By/then by
If there is no target allocation assigned to a selected an account, you can group the report by any category you want. This setting allows you to designate that default grouping.
| Selected group has target allocation assigned |
|---|
|
In this example, target allocation was assigned. The group data are displayed by asset class, which is what target allocation was based on. |
| Selected group does not have target allocation assigned |
|---|
|
In this example, no target allocation was assigned. If no target allocation is assigned, group by/then by was set to account. As a result, the data are sorted by account. |
For more information on grouping, see Group by/Then by.
