With Xinvest you can:
|
|
|
|
Centralize record keeping by storing all transactions in account specific
|
|
files.
|
|
Calculate total and annualized returns including the effects of buys,
|
|
sells, and dividends. This provides a means of comparing the results of all
|
|
accounts in a portfolio, be they CDs, bonds, mutual funds, or your checking
|
|
account.
|
|
Receive automatic price updates in conjunction with the Xquote WWW quote
|
|
retrieval program.
|
|
View various transaction parameters such as share price, shares per
|
|
transaction, transaction cost, transaction value (at current price),
|
|
dividends, internal and total return, and/or cumulative and moving
|
|
averages of the above. Plots are transaction based bar or date based x-y
|
|
charts.
|
|
View overall value weightings (asset allocation) of accounts in a
|
|
portfolio. Specify categories, what percent of an account is in that category, and
|
|
which accounts are of interest and Xinvest will tell you the value and
|
|
percentage of all categories in the defined portfolio. Predefined is a
|
|
account category to view weighting of accounts in the total portfolio.
|
|
Categories are hierarchical, so you can zoom into the makeup of your portfolio. View in
|
|
text and pie chart form.
|
|
A Financial calculator with common equations is provided. Included are
|
|
FV, PV, FV of sum of payments, and periodic loan payments.
|
|
Hopefully, all of this is displayed using an easy-to-use, point-and-click
|
|
interface. There are few command line switches, no dot files, and X
|
|
resources are limited to color and font selection allowing you to tailor
|
|
the look of the tool to your own preferences.
