Market Data
Pricing data is provided by Bloomberg.
At 5.30am Singapore time (just after the last US exchanges closed) all End-of-Day price data for the previous day is downloaded.
All stored calculations will be done after this data has been made available.
All current information on the website relies on this latest available pricing information.
Whenever securities do not have daily prices available the calculations will revert to the last available price - however dated this may be.
Portfolio > Holdings
This screen is showing
Portfolio > Allocation
This screen shows the allocation of assets in the portfolio.
This is based on the latest available price for the chosen date. The standard date setting is
...
Today.
All values are converted to base currency of the user.
All percentages in the doughnut charts are relative to the Total Assets,not the Net Worth, as Liabilities are excluded.
Portfolio > Performance
Portfolio > Performance > Profit / Loss
This chart shows the historical performance of two datapoints: The total amount invested and profit.
Total Amount Invested
relates to all Securities and are a simple measure of how in the market the accounts are. This excludes all cash and all loans.
Profit
is the absolute gain (or loss) in the account at current market values. This therefore includes realized as well as unrealized items.
Profit = Market Value - Net Fund Flow
where
Market Value = sum of all assets at latest price converted at latest FX rate into Base Currency
Net Fund Flow= sum of all Money Inflows or Outflows (or when security transfer, the monetary equivalent) converted to Base Currency at the timing of such flow.
Portfolio > Performance > Portfolio
each stacked item represents the market value of each category at the latest price and converted at the latest FX rate into Base Currency.
The Money Flow line here represents the same as Net Fund Flow mentioned earlier.
When all stacks are selected they will total up to the Net Worth of the Account.
All stacks less the Money Flow line are equal to the Profit line in the earlier page.
Portfolio > Performance > NAV
NAV is the Net Asset Value of the account expressed on a base of 100.
Net Asset Value
NAV0 = 100
NAVt =NAVt-1 * (1 + Net Worth Percent changet)
Net Worth Percent changet = (absolute change in Net Wortht - Net Fund Flowt) / Net Wortht-1
Net Wortht = market value of all assets and liabilities at latest price on t, converted to Base Currency on t
Net Wortht-1 = market value of all assets and liabilities at latest price on t-1, converted to Base Currency on t-1
absolute change in Net Wortht = Net Wortht - Net Wortht-1
Net Fund Flow = Sum of all money inflow, money outflow or security transfer free of payment in/out on t, converted to Base Currency on t
Security transfers free of payment will be marked at prevailing market price on the price of the transfer if no price has been supplied at the transaction level. If a price has been provided, such price will be used.

All items are added up in contract currency (i.e. currency of the money flow) and converted to base currency at the current fx rate

The Performance page shows two charts.
The first chart relates to the relative performance of the portfolio.
This is based on the Net Asset Value (NAV) which is generated for each child account and expresses the performance of the account on a base of 100.
The second chart represents the absolute performance expressed in base currency.
Important Note: Canopy captures the accurate purchase price for any security transactions - also for Security transfers or Opening entries for accounts.
Especially for long-held positions there almost always be a jump in performance.
Canopy behaves in the following ways with regard to security transfers that are at the historical purchase price and therefore off-market for the booking day:
1) Security specific returns:
This captures the original traded price that was used as an input.
Here we will show the full profit of the position, based on the original cost of acquisition.
This provides an overview of the overall profitability of the position and is accessible on the security page and the holdings page.
2) Time-weighted return:
Since this is a very period specific number, it will not be impacted by external transfers.
Because the profit was generated out of period it should not be attributed here and would be misleading.
Canopy, therefore, removes the first-day profit of all transfer trades.
This is applicable to the top chart on the Performance page
3) Absolute return:
This number is a logically a little bit sandwiched between (1) and (2).
On one hand, it can be used for period specific attribution but the overall return of the portfolio is also relevant.
We have decided that this metric is closer to (1) than it is to (2). Meaning, Canopy will show the overall absolute cash number performance of their portfolio and holdings.
For this reason, the absolute return will be impacted by transfers - this may show spikes in the absolute performance chart which are not present in the (relative) time weighted performance chart.
This is applicable to the bottom chart on the Performance page
