The Allocation Report
The Allocation Report shows how your portfolio is currently allocated. It is calculated from the current holdings in your Prices view, and shows your holdings as a list of percentages as well as a pie chart (or bar chart) for better visualization. When used from within a Portfolio Group, the Allocation report is a powerful tool to help you visualize your allocations across multiple portfolios/accounts.
To access the Allocation Report, click on the “Reports” button in the toolbar and select the “Allocation” Report type.
The available views of your portfolio's allocations can be selected from the "Displayed Views" dropdown. The views available are:
- Individual holdings view - Each ticker symbol is listed separately and the view will show you the percentage that holding has in your whole portfolio.
- Categories view - Each top-level item in the portfolio is included and the view will show you the percentage that item has in your portfolio. This view shows top-level items only, so any categories or individual holdings at the top level will be included in this view. Also note that any sub-categories are not included in this report - only top-level holdings and categories.
- Sectors - Each holding in your portfolio is associated with a sector via the "Sector" column. This view shows the sectors listed separately and their allocation percentages in your whole portfolio. (Note that the "Sector" field is editable.)
- Industries - Each holding in your portfolio is associated with an industry via the "Industry" column. This view shows the industries listed separately and their allocation percentages in your whole portfolio. (Note that the "Industry" field is editable.)
- Security Types - Each holding in your portfolio is associated with a security type (Stock, ETF, Fund, Money Market, etc) via the "Sec Type" column. This view shows the security types listed separately and their allocation percentages in your whole portfolio. (Note that the "Sec Type" field is editable.)
- Market Caps - Each holding in your portfolio is associated with a Market Cap size (Mega, Large, Mid, etc) via the "CapSize" column. This view shows the market cap sizes listed separately and their allocation percentages in your whole portfolio. (Note that the "CapSize" field

- Bar Chart - Shows the items in the allocation view as a bar chart. The highest allocation percentage is at the top; lowest at the bottom. Hover the mouse over the chart or click on any of the bars to highlight that particular item in the list.
