Introduction

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.

You can view target allocations on the dynamic and PDF Asset Allocation report and Holdings report. For more information on running these reports, visit Run Dynamic or PDF Report.

Note that target allocations are not integrated from Advisor Rebalancing and must be created separately in Advisor View.
