Accounts
Learn how to create and manage accounts in AssetView, either automatically via connectors or manually for custom tracking.
Overview
AssetView Accounts are created in two ways.
- Automatic: If you connect a financial institution to AssetView through an AssetView Connector (e.g. the TradFi Connector), then the Connector will automatically create an Account in AssetView linked to the account at the financial institution. For a Set-by-Step Guide to connect your account at a financial institution to AssetView, please visit the TradFi Connector page.
- Manual: You may manually create an account. Click to see a video guide and a set-by-step guide to create an Account manually.
Cash Handling Required
When an Account is first set up, the Cash Handling Required setting is off by default.
| Behavior | Cash Handling Required | Cash Handling Not Required |
|---|---|---|
| Account XIRRs | Calculated | Not Calculated |
| Account MoMs | Calculated | Not Calculated |
| Account Asset XIRRs | Calculated | Calculated |
| Account Asset MoMs | Calculated | Calculated |
| Cash Transactions Affect the Account's Cash Balance | Yes | Yes |
- An account with the Cash Handling Required setting turned on will alert if the cash balance falls below $0.
- In this case, funds must be supplied to the account (e.g. a cash transfer into the account) in an amount sufficient to bring the account's cash balance to $0 or greater.
