What is
a
Securities Summary Portfolio Report
? Securities Portfolio Reports are considered analysis tools and are used by investment managers and analysts to analyze market- and book values of different securities. Some of the main functionality in this type of dashboard report is that it combines charts, figures and exception highlighting to optimize analysis. The top left chart shows book value of securities on the left axis and yield on the right axis. The top right chart shows market value of securities on the left axis and yield on the right axis. The body of the report lists securities down the rows. The columns include: Book value, Gross Yield, Gross Life, Book Value Yield, Book Value Life, Market Value, Gross Yield, Gross Life, Market Yield, Market Life, Market versus Book Value Variance, Yield Variance, and Life Variance. You find an example of this type of dashboard report below.
Purpose of
Security Summary Portfolio Reports Credit Unions use Security Summary Reports to give managers an easy way to compare book value with market value and analyze the variances. When used as part of good business practices in Investment Departments, a company can improve its securities strategies and profitability, and it can reduce the chances that managers react slowly to significant book to market value variances.
