Portfolio builder is available in the product comparison modules as well as in the platforms and investments module.

Portfolio builder has a several features, enabling you to allocate investment options for your clients’ assets and select model portfolios.

You are able to access Portfolio through the super, pension and investment tab in the edit client module by clicking “Options” when entering your clients’ investment options in each structure.

You can also access the Portfolio builder in all product comparison modules by clicking the Sell/Buy spread or ICR/MER buttons on both existing and recommended platforms.

Each platform contains a platform average investment option. The average platform contains the average MER and asset allocation of all the underlying options in each platform. Note that when using the average investment option it is not a true reflection of any actual investment option and should not be used in any final analysis.

In the Strategic asset allocation section on the bottom part of Portfolio Builder, you can view your clients risk profile and the variance to the risk profile with the actual allocation of assets. In this section you can also view the weighted average cost of each of your client’s investments in the MER related fees along with Buy/Sell spreads and Commission.
