v3.94: Editing Custom Holdings in Client Portfolios

Koyfin -

You can now edit the core attributes of a custom holding inside a Client Portfolio account. Customizable attributes include the name, asset class, instrument type, and currency. You edit these attributes in the Custom Holdings tab of the account's Edit Account window.

Custom Holdings

Custom holdings are securities that are not recognised in the Koyfin system. Examples can include corporate bonds, private funds, artwork, employee-stock options, and more.

Rather than ignore them, Koyfin portfolios create a custom holding — a placeholder that keeps your portfolio data intact, allowing you to represent the cost, value, weighting, and attributes (such as asset class, currency, instrument type) of your holding.

Custom holdings can be created as a result of imported data for:

  • A custodial or portfolio management service integration;
  • A PDF broker statement upload, or;
  • A CSV statement upload

You can also create custom holdings from scratch in any manually created account.

The Custom Holdings tab

  1. In Client Portfolios, open the account and click Edit Account.

2. Select the Custom Holdings tab. It lists the account's custom holdings, each with an Attributes button on its row.

Editing a holding

  1. Click Attributes on the holding's row to open the panel.
  2. Edit the holding's Display Name, Asset Class, Instrument Type, and Currency.
  3. Click Save Account to apply your changes.

The Display Name controls how the holding appears across the account's views and reports. On accounts synced from an integration, the holding's original imported name stays visible above the Display Name.

You can remove a custom holding by clicking the trash icon on its row (see image attached below).

How edits behave on synced accounts

In accounts synced from an integration, the quantity, cost and purchase date are read-only, but you can still edit a custom holding's attributes. Any attribute you change will persist and is not overwritten when the account syncs. Attributes you leave unedited continue to update from the integration. In accounts created from scratch, CSV or PDF, you can also edit the Ticker.

Where your changes show up

Altering any custom holding attribute will reflect those changes downstream across exposure exhibits, reports, the profit / loss analysis table, and so on.

For example, if a corporate bond was imported as a result of a custodial integration with the asset class "Other", changing this asset class to "Fixed Income" will mean that this holding is now represented in the Fixed Income exposure across asset class exposures, and in reports.
