Updating Your Portfolio - Funds

GlobeAdvisor is free to use and tracks over 3,000 mutual funds available for sale in Canada. This includes virtually all open-end mutual funds, index funds, segregated funds and Canadian mutual funds valued in U.S. dollars.

GlobeAdvisor reduces the chore of setting up your mutual fund portfolio and maintaining it on an on-going basis in several ways:

• automatic posting of historical and on-going distributions to your portfolio
• automatic posting to your portfolio of buys and/or sells if you follow a pre-authorized purchase plan (e.g., buy $200 of a fund each month)
• automatic price lookup from the globefund.com daily price database when adding transactions, or you can use the prices shown on your statements.

• Add New Funds: Add a new mutual fund to your portfolio.
• Record Buy/Sell: Enter the initial number of units owned in a fund or to record a change in the number of units held due to a buy or sell. No actual units will be bought or sold. You do not need to enter mutual fund distributions; GlobeAdvisor will enter them automatically.
• Start Recurring Buy/Sell: Many investors make arrangements with their broker to purchase or sell mutual funds on a regular basis throughout the year. Once you have a recurring buy/sell set up, GlobeAdvisor will automatically record the buy or sell in your portfolio on the appropriate day(s) of the month. No actual units will be bought or sold.
• Stop Recurring Buy/Sell: Stop a recurring buy/sell or to view a list of the recurring buys and sells you have set up.

• Record Distribution: GlobeAdvisor automatically adds distributions to your portfolio, so you should not need to use this option. If you accidentally delete a distribution, you can add it again with this option.

• automatic price lookup from the globefund.com daily price database when adding transactions, or you can use the prices shown on your statements.
