Introduction

Applies to:
✔ Dynamic ✔ PDF ✔ Mobile ✔ Client Portal

With the Net Worth report, you can see a client's whole financial picture in one place. The Net Worth report combines assets and liabilities—whether entered manually or by linking outside accounts—with holdings information from Tamarac Reporting to allow you to tell your clients' complete financial story.

Set Up the Net Worth Report

Before you can see assets and liabilities on this report, you must add the assets and liabilities to Households in Tamarac Reporting. For more information on how to do that, see Assets and Liabilities.

For more information on using the Net Worth report to see assets and liabilities, see View Assets and Liabilities on the Net Worth Report and Workflow: Set Up Net Worth Reporting.

Net Worth Reports on Households

Unlike other reports, the Net Worth report shows information for the primary Household and not for an account, regardless of what's shown in the Find Data For list. In other words, even if you try to view the Net Worth report for a single account, Tamarac Reporting will show net worth for that account's primary Household instead.

The account or group must have a primary Household assigned to see the Net Worth report.

Why Use the Net Worth Report?

In the Net Worth report, you will find a powerful tool for aggregating and reporting on a Household's holistic financial picture. It helps you answer questions such as:

See the Net Worth Report in Action: Net Worth Change Over Time

A client worked with the same advisor for the last five years. During that time, the clients took out some loans to start their own business. As the year-end meeting with the client approaches, the advisor wants to show how the client's net worth has changed since the start of their relationship.

The advisor generates a basic Net Worth report showing both a chart and a table reflecting assets and liabilities for each of the last five year-ends, which clearly lays out changes in the client's net worth over that time.

See the Net Worth Report in Action: Assets and Liabilities Analysis

An advisor anticipates discussing the client's estate plan in an upcoming meeting with her clients. In preparation, she generates a Net Worth report that displays assets and liabilities by account owners and groups them by net worth category. This allows her to see a breakdown of who owns what in the Household, sorted by the various categories of assets and liabilities.

Cherry Street Financial wants to give clients direct access to their net worth at any time. They create and add a Net Worth report to the client view. Additionally, they create a dashboard tile that includes net worth data points. Because Cherry Street uses Yodlee linked accounts to bring in held-away assets and liabilities, they include an Assets & Liabilities page in the client portal as well.

In the client view, then, clients can see their net worth on a dashboard tile, in detail on the Assets & Liabilities page, and on the Net Worth report. Cherry Street linked the Net Worth report and the Assets & Liabilities page from the dashboard tile for easy client access.

Features of the Net Worth Report

The Net Worth report helps you easily display aggregated asset and liability values over time or by owner. Interactive reporting features include the following.

Versatile Grouping Tells Different Stories

Group accounts by tax status, net worth category, or account type, or a combination of these, to display the unique report that's right for your clients.

To choose how the table groups assets and liabilities, use Group By/Then By.

You can group by the following:

Customize Net Worth Sections in PDF Reports

Create the most impactful PDF statement you can by showing clients the net worth in the way that makes the most sense to them. You can include the chart, the table, or both in PDF full and PDF dashboard sections. For more information, see Show Table and Show Chart.

Sort Accounts the Way You Want

Sort by ascending or descending for any column in the report to show accounts, assets, and liabilities in the order you want. For more information, see Asc / Desc.

Control Where the Report Displays Subtotals

Set up the Net Worth report to display subtotals wherever you feel it's logical: In the top bar (default) or in a subtotal row at the end of each section. For more information, see Display totals at bottom.

Use Tooltips to See Details

See data details by hovering over a bar on the chart—you will see a tooltip display that summarizes the relevant net worth details for that date.

See the as of date for the value of assets and liabilities by hovering over a value marked with an asterisk.

Dynamically Show or Hide Data

Click data points in the chart legend to show/hide data points.

Zoom In or Out to Change the View

Zoom in on the chart by clicking and dragging to select an area. Reset your zoomed chart by selecting the button.

Expand or Collapse Rows

Expand (>) or collapse (˅) table rows to further control the level of detail.

Share on the Mobile App

This report is optimized for mobile viewing, making it easy to use on any device, anywhere. To learn more about mobile app report features, see Mobile App Reports.

You and Clients Directly Add or Edit a Household's Assets and Liabilities

Open Assets and Liabilities panel to directly manage assets and liabilities for the Household you've run the Net Worth report on. This allows you to quickly update a manual asset or liability if you notice an issue while reviewing the report.

When you add the Assets/Liabilities page to a client view, the Net Worth report includes a button that allows clients to manage assets and liabilities directly from the report. For more information about allowing clients to manage assets and liabilities themselves, see Allow Clients to Manage Assets and Liabilities on the Portal.

Resolve Errors Directly From the Net Worth Report

The Net Worth report displays linked account errors and allows you or your clients to resolve some of them. The page shows two types of alerts: actionable and informational.

Actionable alerts

You and your clients can both resolve this type of linking error. Select the alert icon to start resolving the issue. Clients only see the actionable link error for accounts where they are the credential owner.

Informational alerts

Clients will see the alert, but only you can fix this type of linking error.
