Introduction

Applies to:
✔ Dynamic ✔ PDF ✔ Mobile

✔ Client Portal

 

With the Net Worth report, you can see a client's whole financial picture in one place. The Net Worth report combines assets and liabilities—whether entered manually or by linking outside accounts—with holdings information from Advisor View to allow you to tell the complete financial story of your clients.

Note

Unlike all other reports, the Net Worth report shows information for the primary Household and not for an account, regardless of what's shown in the Find Data For list. In other words, even if you try to view the Net Worth report for a single account, Advisor View will show net worth for that account's primary Household instead.

The account or group must have a primary Household assigned to see the Net Worth report.

important

Before you can see assets and liabilities on this report, you must add the assets and liabilities to Households in Advisor View. For more information on how to do that, visit Assets and Liabilities.

For more information on using the Net Worth report to see assets and liabilities, see View Assets and Liabilities on the Net Worth Report.

Why Use the Net Worth Report?

In the Net Worth report, you will find a powerful tool for aggregating and reporting on a Household's holistic financial picture. It helps you answer questions such as:

Example 1

A client worked with the same advisor for the last five years. In the last year, the client inherited some assets from a deceased relative. As the year-end meeting with the client approaches, the advisor wants to show how the client's net worth has changed since the start of their relationship.

The advisor generates a basic Net Worth report showing both a chart and a table reflecting assets and liabilities for each of the last five year-ends, which clearly lays out changes in the client's net worth over that time.

Example 2

An advisor anticipates discussing the client's estate plan in an upcoming meeting with her clients. In preparation, she generates a Net Worth report that displays assets and liabilities by account owners and groups them by type. This allows her to see a breakdown of who owns what in the Household, sorted by the various types of assets and liabilities.
