Introduction

Applies to:
✔ Dynamic ✔ PDF Mobile

✔ Client Portal

 

The Account Analytics report provides a clear comparison of a variety of risk-adjusted returns that you select for an account or group with designated benchmarks and indexes.

Three report sections allow you to access the precise data you need when evaluating risk and returns:

  1. The Risk vs. Return chart: Shows risk and return on the x- and y-axes for one date period. Add benchmarks, indexes, and allocation-weighted benchmarks for a visual comparison of where the account falls.

  2. The Risk Measurements table: You can add risk measurements as rows and date periods, accounts, benchmarks, and indexes as columns to create a table that shows how an account's risk measurements and returns compared with those of benchmarks or indexes.

    The following risk measurements are available (click a link for a definition):

  3. The Relative Statistics table: You can add relative statistics as rows and date periods, accounts, benchmarks, and indexes as columns to create a table that shows how an account's relative statistics compared with those of benchmarks or indexes.

    The following relative statistics are available (click a link for a definition):

Why Use the Account Analytics Report?

In the Account Analytics report, you will find versatile sorting and charting options that let you answer many questions about risk and return for accounts and groups, such as:

Example 1

An advisor wants to compare the risk/return breakdown for a prospect's current investment strategy as compared with the advisor's recommended strategy. The advisor creates a demonstration account with the same investments as the prospect.

When meeting with the prospect, the advisor uses the Account Analytics Risk vs. Return chart to compare the demo account (in red box) with the recommended strategy (in green box, along with a couple of very close indexes). The advisor points out that the client's current strategy assumes substantial risk without corresponding returns, while the recommended strategy offers less risk with higher returns.

This provides an opening for the advisor and prospect to discuss the firm's services and how the prospect could benefit from working with the advisor.
