Quick Start Guide

1. Security: Create your AssetView account; you may either set a user name and password or you may use one of the other authentication methods. Set your Passphrase, a set of characters you designate that is required to open your portfolios. As an emergency recovery method for you if you lose your credentials, AssetView automatically generates and provides to you a mnemonic (i.e. a series of random words). Please store your credentials securely and store your mnemonic in a secure location. Without either your credentials or your mnemonic, your Personal Investment Data is protected by encryption and is therefore inaccessible.

Key Terms

XIRR

AssetView uses XIRR, a time-based, cashflow=based calculation of extended internal rate of return, to allow you to compare returns across disparate assets and asset classes; AssetView refers to the XIRR calculation as a vXIRR (virtual XIRR) in cases where a reasoned assumption is made for the liquidation value of an asset with open positions (e.g. the liquidation share price is set at the share price of the most recently booked transaction on the asset).

MoM

AssetView uses MoM, multiple on money, to measure investment performance. The calculation is: (position value plus distributions)/contributions. A reasoned assumption is made for the liquidation value of an asset with open positions (e.g. the liquidation share price is set at the share price of the most recently booked transaction on the asset). For an asset, the MoM calculation only includes movements of capital in and out of the asset. For an account, the MoM calculation only includes movements of capital in and out of the account.

Profit Potential

AssetView uses a Profit Potential figure to show how an asset is performing. The figure is a combination of realized gains and income with an unrealized gain. The unrealized gain is based on asset liquidation at either a market value (if known) or a liquidation value that AssetView employs from a recent transaction. In AssetView, Profit Potential = Realized Capital Gains + Income + Unrealized Capital Gains.
