## Overview

The mutual fund portfolio management feature allows financial advisors to view, analyze, and track all mutual fund investments for their clients. The system automatically calculates returns (XIRR), current values, and provides detailed transaction histories to help advisors make informed investment decisions and generate client reports.

Key capabilities:
• View complete mutual fund portfolio with current values and performance metrics
• Track investment returns using XIRR calculations across all schemes
• Access detailed transaction history with automatic LIFO/FIFO processing
• Monitor dividend payments and reinvestments
• Analyze asset allocation across different fund categories and AMCs

## Prerequisites and Access

**Requirements:**
- Active advisor account with portfolio management access
- Assigned clients with mutual fund investments
- Transaction data imported from AMCs or RTAs

**Navigation Path:**
Portfolio → Client Assets → Mutual Funds

## How-To Steps

### How to View Client's Mutual Fund Portfolio

Access the complete mutual fund holdings for any client with performance analytics.

1. Navigate to Portfolio → Client Assets
2. Select the client from your client list
3. Click on "Mutual Funds" tab
4. The system displays all schemes with current NAV, units held, and current value
5. View calculated XIRR returns for each scheme and overall portfolio
6. Check dividend payments received and reinvestment details

**What happens:** The platform displays real-time portfolio values, calculates returns automatically, and shows asset allocation across different fund categories.

**Important:** XIRR calculations require at least 365 days of transaction history for accurate annual returns.

### How to Analyze Transaction History

Review detailed transaction records for any mutual fund scheme to understand investment patterns.

1. In the mutual fund portfolio view, click on any scheme name
2. Select "Transaction History" from the dropdown menu
3. Review all purchase, redemption, dividend, and switch transactions
4. Use date filters to view specific time periods
5. Check balance units after each transaction for accuracy
6. Export transaction details for client reporting if needed

**What happens:** The system shows chronological transaction history with running balance calculations and identifies any merged or transferred folios.

### How to Track Dividend Payments

Monitor dividend income and reinvestment activity across the client's mutual fund portfolio.

1. Go to the client's mutual fund portfolio
2. Click on "Dividend Summary" tab
3. View total dividend received till date for each scheme
4. Check dividend reinvestment amounts separately
5. Review dividend frequency and payment dates
6. Calculate dividend yield based on current holdings

**What happens:** The platform separates dividend payouts from reinvestments and provides accurate dividend income calculations for tax reporting.

### How to Generate Performance Reports

Create comprehensive performance analysis reports for client reviews.

1. Select the client's mutual fund portfolio
2. Choose "Performance Analysis" from the reports menu
3. Set the analysis period (monthly, quarterly, or custom dates)
4. Select specific schemes or view entire portfolio
5. The system calculates XIRR, absolute returns, and current values
6. Generate PDF or Excel export for client presentation

**What happens:** Professional reports are generated showing investment performance, asset allocation, and return comparisons across different time periods.

## Rules and Limits

• XIRR calculations automatically exclude transactions older than one year unless specifically requested
• Dividend reinvestment transactions are processed separately from regular purchases
• Balance unit calculations use LIFO method for redemption matching
• Schemes with zero balance units are retained in portfolio for historical tracking
• Performance calculations exclude merged or transferred folios from current holdings
• Maximum 100 schemes can be displayed per client portfolio view
• Transaction processing follows exchange-defined settlement rules
• Switch transactions are treated as simultaneous redemption and purchase
• NAV updates occur daily based on AMC feeds
• Realized gains are calculated using FIFO method for tax reporting

## Common Questions

**Q: Why do my XIRR returns look different from what I calculated manually?**
A: The system uses precise daily calculations and excludes dividend transactions for pure investment return analysis. Manual calculations often include dividends which can skew annual return figures.

**Q: Can I see performance for schemes that were redeemed completely?**
A: Yes, the system maintains historical data for all schemes. Use the "Show All Schemes" filter to view both current holdings and fully redeemed investments.

**Q: How does the system handle scheme mergers or name changes?**
A: Merged schemes are automatically identified and marked. The system maintains transaction history under the original scheme name while showing current NAV under the surviving scheme.

**Q: Why don't I see recent transactions in the portfolio?**
A: Transaction processing depends on AMC file uploads. Recent transactions may take 1-2 business days to reflect in the system after settlement.

**Q: Can I track SIP investments separately from lump sum investments?**
A: The system identifies SIP transactions automatically based on amount patterns and frequency. Use the "SIP Analysis" view to see systematic investment performance separately.

## Troubleshooting

**Problem:** Portfolio shows incorrect current values
**Cause:** NAV data may be outdated or missing for specific schemes
**Fix:** Navigate to Settings → Data Management → NAV Updates and verify the last update date. Contact support if NAV is more than 2 business days old.

**Problem:** XIRR shows as zero or blank for some schemes
**Cause:** Insufficient transaction history (less than 365 days) or all transactions on same date
**Fix:** Use absolute return calculation for short-term investments. XIRR requires multiple transactions across different dates.

**Problem:** Dividend amounts don't match AMC statements
**Cause:** Dividend reinvestment may be calculated separately or missing dividend transactions
**Fix:** Check "Include Reinvestments" option in dividend summary and verify all dividend transactions are uploaded.

**Problem:** Some mutual fund schemes are missing from portfolio
**Cause:** Folio number mismatch or PAN mapping issues between uploaded files
**Fix:** Go to Client Settings → PAN Mapping and ensure all folios are correctly linked to the client's PAN number.

 ## Common Questions
 
-**Q: Why does my client's portfolio show different returns than their statement?**
-A: The platform uses XIRR calculation which accounts for timing of cash flows, providing more accurate returns than simple percentage calculations. Statement returns may use different methodologies.
+**Q: Why do my XIRR returns look different from what I calculated manually?**
+A: The system uses precise daily calculations and excludes dividend transactions for pure investment return analysis. Manual calculations often include dividends which can skew annual return figures.
 
-**Q: Can I modify transactions after they're recorded?**
-A: No, transactions cannot be edited once saved to maintain audit integrity. If corrections are needed, add reversing entries and record the correct transaction.
+**Q: Can I see performance for schemes that were redeemed completely?**
+A: Yes, the system maintains historical data for all schemes. Use the "Show All Schemes" filter to view both current holdings and fully redeemed investments.
 
-**Q: How often are NAV values updated for mutual funds?**
-A: NAV values are updated daily after market close. The system shows the latest available NAV date for transparency.
+**Q: How does the system handle scheme mergers or name changes?**
+A: Merged schemes are automatically identified and marked. The system maintains transaction history under the original scheme name while showing current NAV under the surviving scheme.
 
-**Q: What happens when an MLD or NCD matures?**
-A: The system automatically marks the instrument as matured and calculates final payout amounts. You'll need to update the client's cash position separately.
+**Q: Why don't I see recent transactions in the portfolio?**
+A: Transaction processing depends on AMC file uploads. Recent transactions may take 1-2 business days to reflect in the system after settlement.
 
-**Q: Why can't I see some clients in the asset list?**
-A: Only clients assigned to your team or directly to you appear in asset management. Check with your admin if you need access to additional clients.
+**Q: Can I track SIP investments separately from lump sum investments?**
+A: The system identifies SIP transactions automatically based on amount patterns and frequency. Use the "SIP Analysis" view to see systematic investment performance separately.
 
 ## Troubleshooting
 
-**Problem:** Portfolio shows "No Data Available" for a client
-**Cause:** Client has no recorded transactions or assets haven't been properly mapped
-**Fix:** Verify client onboarding is complete and at least one asset transaction has been recorded
+**Problem:** Portfolio shows incorrect current values
+**Cause:** NAV data may be outdated or missing for specific schemes
+**Fix:** Navigate to Settings → Data Management → NAV Updates and verify the last update date. Contact support if NAV is more than 2 business days old.
 
-**Problem:** XIRR calculation shows "N/A" or zero
-**Cause:** Insufficient transaction data - XIRR requires both inflows and outflows
-**Fix:** Ensure the client has both purchase and redemption transactions, or wait for more transaction history
+**Problem:** XIRR shows as zero or blank for some schemes
+**Cause:** Insufficient transaction history (less than 365 days) or all transactions on same date
+**Fix:** Use absolute return calculation for short-term investments. XIRR requires multiple transactions across different dates.
 
-**Problem:** Asset values don't update after adding transactions
-**Cause:** NAV data may not be available for the transaction date
-**Fix:** Check if the scheme has valid NAV data for the transaction date; system may need 24 hours for NAV updates
+**Problem:** Dividend amounts don't match AMC statements
+**Cause:** Dividend reinvestment may be calculated separately or missing dividend transactions
+**Fix:** Check "Include Reinvestments" option in dividend summary and verify all dividend transactions are uploaded.
 
-**Problem:** MLD or NCD won't save due to validation errors
-**Cause:** Required fields missing or date logic errors (end date before start date)
-**Fix:** Review all mandatory fields and ensure chronological date order; maturity must be after investment date
-
-**Problem:** Balance units don't match external statements
-**Cause:** Transaction processing differences or missing dividend reinvestment entries
-**Fix:** Review transaction history for missing entries, particularly dividend reinvestments and bonus distributions
+**Problem:** Some mutual fund schemes are missing from portfolio
+**Cause:** Folio number mismatch or PAN mapping issues between uploaded files
+**Fix:** Go to Client Settings → PAN Mapping and ensure all folios are correctly linked to the client's PAN number.
