Capital Flows Report

The Capital Flows report brings together transactions and performance data to allow you to show clients an account or group's contributions and withdrawals over a specified time period. It also helps you understand and troubleshoot IRR for an account or group.
Within the report, you can include any of four components:
Account Value vs. net Investment A chart comparing the account value with the net investment.
In PDF reports, this chart is sampled at the following rates:
Summary Chart A chart summarizing contributions by net contribution or contribution rate.
Summary A more detailed summary table with a set array of columns.
Transactions A very detailed table listing all applicable transactions.
For both managed and unmanaged assets, this report can show:
Deposits
Withdrawals
Receipts
Transfers
Many users find it convenient to create a report view for small capital flows and another for large capital flows.
In the Capital Flows report, you will find versatile sorting and charting options that let you answer many flow-related questions, such as:
How does My Client's Net Investment Compare with the Account Value?The account value vs. net contribution chart provides a clear comparison of the account value change over time with contributions over that same period. Toggle the net contribution line on and off as appropriate, depending on whether you're looking at managed and unmanaged assets.
How Much has My Client Contributed or Withdrawn This Year?The contribution summary table clearly delineates contributions, withdrawals, and net contributions, as well as showing the impact on account value and reporting the contribution rate for each period.
What are trends in the contribution rate over time?The net contribution summary bar chart makes it easy to see at a glance what a client's contribution rate or amount has been over the period. You can choose to see contributions broken out by week, month, quarter, or annual intervals within the date period.
In their year-end report, Cherry Street Financial provides an overview of the contributions and withdrawals for that year, broken down by month. However, they prefer to keep the report length down, so they exclude transaction details, instead including the summary charts and table.
An advisor can't remember whether a client made a $15,000 contribution to her account in December 2006 or January 2007. The advisor sets up a capital flows report with a custom date period of 12/1/2006 to 1/31/2007, then uses the Show only flows where... option to show only flows where the dollar amount is equal to $15,000. By includes only the transactions portion of the report, the advisor quickly determines that the contribution was made on January 1, 2007.
The dynamic Capital Flows report helps you easily filter and sort data to drill down to meaningful results. Interactive reporting features include the following.
Directly compare net investment with account value with an optional chart that displays the net investment alongside the account's value. For unmanaged assets, you can even choose to show or hide the net investment.
As part of the ability to customize sections, you can include sections that summarize capital flows in an optional chart, in an optional table, or in both. You cannot customize column included on the Summary table.
Sort columns by clicking column headers in the transactions section. The caret direction (^ or ˅) indicates sorting order, either ascending or descending.
