Overview

Reports help you turn portfolio records into review-ready views. Use standard reports for quick analysis, then combine the most useful views into report packs for committee papers, client updates, internal reviews, or recurring distribution. There are two main reporting areas:
  • Standard Reports: individual portfolio views such as allocation, holdings, transactions, daily returns, investment map, and FX.
  • Report Packs: curated collections of reports and custom pages that can be saved, published, downloaded, emailed, and scheduled.

Before you start

Confirm the reporting period, audience, and scope. Check whether the report should cover the full organisation or a narrower view such as one entity, category, or tag.

Basic and advanced use

  • Basic use: open a standard report, filter it, and export the result.
  • Advanced use: build report packs, add commentary pages, publish snapshots, and schedule delivery for recurring reporting.

Standard reports

Go to Reports > Standard Reports to open a pre-built report. You can search the report list and mark frequently used reports as favourites. Available standard reports include:
  • Category Allocation: see how market value is split across categories and subcategories.
  • Investments Table: review holdings in a detailed table with filters and customisable columns.
  • Transactions Report: build an export-ready transaction ledger with date, investment, type, and column filters.
  • Daily Returns: review daily trading performance, gains/losses, transaction counts, and weekly summaries.
  • Investment Map: view holdings as a treemap sized by market value and coloured by return performance.
  • FX report: review currency exposure and the FX component of gains and losses.
Most standard reports let you filter, adjust columns or chart settings, and export to CSV, Excel, or PDF. Entity filters respect ownership weights. For example, if one entity owns 50% of an investment, entity-level reports show 50% of that investment’s value, gain or loss, income, fees, and transaction activity. Reports without an entity filter show the full investment once.

FX report

Use the FX report to see how currency movements have affected investments held in a currency that differs from your reporting currency. The report separates:
  • FX gain/loss: the movement caused by exchange rates changing.
  • Price gain/loss: the movement caused by the investment price changing in its own currency.
  • Total unrealised gain/loss: the combined movement from FX and price changes.
Rates are shown as 1 reporting currency unit equals the displayed investment currency amount. For example, if your reporting currency is NZD and the investment is in USD, the rate shows how much USD equals 1 NZD. A stronger reporting currency can reduce the reporting value of a foreign-currency investment. In that case, the FX movement is shown as a loss. A weaker reporting currency can increase the reporting value and is shown as a gain. Open the currency pair rows to focus the investment table on one currency pair. Use CSV or PDF export when you need to share the breakdown with an adviser, committee, or client.

Report packs

Report packs are for recurring or formal reporting. A pack can include standard reports and custom pages in the order you choose. Use report packs when you want to:
  • Build a monthly or quarterly investment committee pack.
  • Combine holdings, transactions, allocation, FX, and commentary into one review.
  • Publish a fixed snapshot for later reference.
  • Download a complete PDF.
  • Email a pack to yourself or scheduled recipients.
  • Keep personal packs separate from organisation-wide packs.

Create a report pack

  1. Go to Reports.
  2. Select New pack.
  3. Give the pack a clear name and optional description.
  4. Choose whether it is Personal or Organisation.
  5. Add standard reports or custom pages from the left panel.
  6. Drag reports into the order you want.
  7. Save the draft or publish it.
Use Personal for working drafts or private review packs. Use Organisation when the pack should be visible to the wider team.

Add and arrange content

Inside a pack, you can add:
  • Standard reports, including allocation, holdings, transactions, daily returns, investment map, and FX.
  • Custom pages for commentary, summaries, notes, or analysis.
Use custom page titles that match the audience, such as “Executive summary”, “Quarterly commentary”, or “Matters for review”. When viewing a pack, use the report navigation to move between reports, add another report, edit the pack, download PDF, or email the pack to yourself.

Set the reporting period

Use the pack date range controls to set the period that reports should reflect. This is especially important for transaction reports, daily returns, and scheduled emails. Before publishing or sending a pack, confirm:
  • The reporting period is correct.
  • The pack date is the date you want recipients to see.
  • Each report still shows the filters and columns you expect.
  • Any custom commentary has been reviewed.

Drafts, published reports, and history

The Reports page has four tabs:
  • Packs: all personal and organisation packs visible to you.
  • Drafts: saved report snapshots that have not been published yet.
  • Published: fixed snapshots that have been published.
  • Sent History: delivery records, including recipients and delivery status.
Publishing creates a fixed version for reference. If the underlying portfolio changes later, create and publish a new snapshot when you need an updated version.

Schedule delivery

Use Automation on a pack when recipients should receive it on a regular schedule. You can set:
  • Weekly, monthly, or quarterly frequency.
  • Day of week or day of month.
  • Recipient email addresses.
  • Email subject and message.
Add at least one recipient before enabling scheduled delivery. For one-off distribution, use Email me or Send now where available.

Export and share

Use PDF when you need a polished pack for a meeting, board paper, or stakeholder update. Use CSV or Excel exports from individual standard reports when someone needs to perform further analysis. Before sharing, review:
  • Date range and pack date.
  • Filters and visible columns.
  • Category and entity selections.
  • Any custom commentary.
  • Recipient list.

Good practice

1

Start with standard reports

Use the pre-built reports first, then add only the views that are useful for the audience.
2

Keep packs focused

A concise pack is easier to review than a large pack with repeated information.
3

Name packs clearly

Include the audience and cadence, such as “Investment Committee - Quarterly”.
4

Publish important versions

Publish packs that support formal decisions or external distribution.
5

Check delivery history

Review sent history after scheduled or manual sends so failed deliveries can be followed up.
