06. Create a report for the client – summary by supplier
Objective
Generate a structured report to visualize a customer’s assets grouped by financial institution (vendor), making it easier to understand investments across multiple entities.
Prerequisites
- Be logged in to your VieFund advisor account.
- Have selected the client’s file to be analyzed.
Step 1: Document Generation
- From the customer reports menu, select the option for “Account Summary by Vendor”.
- Click the button to generate the PDF.
Step 2: Analysis of the distribution by supplier
The report organizes the data to provide a segmented view:
- Grouping by institution: Accounts are listed under the name of their respective provider (e.g., Assumption, Equitable, etc.).
- Account details: For each provider, you can view the different types of accounts held (e.g., an RRSP and a TFSA grouped under the same provider).
- Special cases: Specific information, such as that relating to an RESP, is also isolated for quick reading.
Step 3: Reading Performance by Category
The report allows you to quickly identify the performance of each type of asset within the accounts:
- Rate of return: Observe the growth percentages for each bottom line.
- Sector analysis: Visualize performance by the nature of the securities (e.g., distinguish between U.S. stocks, which can offer high returns, and bonds that can yield around 4-5%).
Step 4: Using the Report
- Use this document to explain to the client where their overall returns are coming from.
- Print or save the file for the customer’s file or for secure shipping.
💡 Helpful Tip: This report is particularly popular with clients who have a diversified portfolio across multiple institutions because it simplifies a financial structure that may seem complex at first.
