Cash report
Asset allocation – have you checked cash balances?
Many clients have built up considerable cash balances within their accounts over the last year or so – largely due to market and economic uncertainty. It may be prudent to check whether large allocations to cash are still appropriate, particularly for younger clients in long-term savings vehicles such as the pension.
Our Cash report allows you to review large cash holdings held within client accounts. The report covers all accounts:
- ISA
- Investment Account
- Pension.
How to run your Cash Report?
To access this report, select 'Firm' from the left-hand menu of our Client Management facility followed by 'Reporting Services'. You'll then be able to select the report which will be ready within 24 hours.
