Disclosures

1. If you prefer the consolidated portfolio view, your financial profession can set it up for you. 

2. Values will likely not match the balances in the Account Holdings section. That’s because the pie chart includes holdings within funds like ETFs and mutual funds plus holdings in equities you directly hold, to give you a more holistic view.

3. Undefined — holdings that aren’t defined by our data provider. This will continually decrease as we improve this information.

4. This information is only included in quarterly statements. For holding or lot level G/L information, log in to Account View.

5. This amount may differ from the cash total in the asset allocation section. That section shows holdings within funds (like ETFs) and holdings you directly hold. 

6. Unrealized gain/loss. The difference between the holding’s market value and its cost basis.

7. Investment gain/loss (G/L). The difference between the holding’s market value and its purchase cost.

  • Purchase cost and investment G/L can be a good performance indicator for holdings that produce income that’s reinvested.
  • Additional sections may appear in the Account Holdings section (e.g., equities and options, corporate bonds.
