Setting the Asset Class or Composition for a security can determine how it shows up on reports. For reports that are run by Asset Class, the system refers to the Asset Class field setting. Other reports will look first for the Composition setting, if not defined, it will then look to the Asset Class field. If neither option is defined, the security is included in the Not Classified category.
Under the Basic tab, the Asset Class field, allows you to select pre-defined classifications. This setting will affect reports that you run by Asset Class, like the Performance by Asset Class and Portfolio Current Value by Asset Class. The security will show up at 100% in the asset class you selected.
The Composition option, which allows you to define the percentages of asset classes for the security, is located under the Detail tab. This option is only relevant for some security types and they include: Category Average, Closed-End fund, Exchange-Traded fund, Hedge Fund, Open-End Fund, Index, MF Objective, Proxy, Separate Account, VA subaccount, VL subaccount, Other, 529 Portfolio Unit Investment Trust, and Insurance and Pension Funds. Examples of reports that look at this composition, if available, would be the Current vs. Target Asset Allocation and Snapshot.
When you've completed your changes to the security, click Save + Close.
