Adding and Editing Asset Classes

Adding and Editing Asset Classes

Asset classes give a user-friendly name to Instruments and also allow you to collect your Instruments into groups to be used by your Models.

Adding New Asset Classes

To add new Asset Classes:

  1. Navigate to Grow Practice > Customization > Asset Classes.
  2. Click + Add New in the upper right.
  3. Fill in the necessary content in the available fields. Do not Add Instruments yet.
    • Name: Give a name to the Asset Class.
    • Category: Assign a category to the Asset Class; Cash, Bonds, Stocks, or Other.
    • Platform Color: The color this Asset Class will appear on the Wealth Platform. Does not affect Client Portal coloring, which is determined by the Category setting.
    • Sort Order: Lower numbers appear first. Default is 1 – cash, 2 – bonds, 3 – stocks, 4 – other.
    • Is Customizable: Allows the Advisor to adjust how much of this asset class is included in the final model for a client.
    • Limit change from recommended value: Duplicates the functionality of Is Customizable. Set to 1 to allow changes. Set to 0 to prevent changes.
    • Description: Provide an overview of the Asset Class.

    If you wish to add Instruments to this Asset Class later or reassign existing Instruments, click Create and return to list. Instruments for this Asset Class can be created, added, or adjusted from the Instrument List tab later.

  10. Click Create and return to list to finish.
