Investment and Rebalancing

  • Changing the Model assigned to an Account now flows seamlessly into the rebalancer for firms utilizing the SmartLeaf integration.
  • The Action menu on the Order Status screen has been moved and relabeled for more intuitive use.

Performance and Reporting

  • New auto-data cleanup features:
    • Effective in mid-June 2023, AdvisorEngine’s daily data capture process from our main data sources will retroactively adjust past share quantities and cash balances due to as-of transactions and cancellation activity.
    • This also includes recalculation of affected performance history for accounts and their households.
    • This does not affect positions prior to mid-June 2023. This does not recalculate billing for past billing periods affected by retroactive changes if those billing periods have already been closed.
  • A new page is available for Report Package definitions: the Income Summary page. This page displays high-level income categories and sums for dividends, capital gains, and interest.

Billing
