Creating a security instrument with manual price update

Hello

I will start investing some of my funds into a Czech supplementary pension system. I have chosen a fund, which is not searchable by Portfolio Performance. I have the price history of the fund available in CSV, XLS and PDF formats. I can create an empty instrument in the PP software, but none of the options for provider of historic quotes seem to accept a file or a table which is offline as a file on my hard drive.

In the worst case I can do without historic prices, but at least I need to be able to update the price of the fund once a month or so. I can do this manually, but I can’t seem to find a way to do this in PP. Could you guys give me any pointers? Thanks.

Regards
Jakub

Right – just select “no automatic download”. Then use the appropriate operation from the security’s context menu for importing a CSV file or manually adding a quote.

Oh my, I use PP for 3 years and haven’t ever realised there is an option like this. I guess this solves my issue :slight_smile: Thanks!

Hi. Bit of a similar question here. I want to create an account for my Pension. The funds/investments is complex, so I can’t track in any logical way, but I would like to update the amount in this account periodically (i.e. if the value of the pension fund goes up or down). How could I do this? I would also need to track the “deposits” which are taken out of my salary as pension contributions

Create an empty security. Enter historical quotes manually. Create a new historical quote when appropriated.

but there’s no quotes per se, I mean, this is the pension administration company with their BS investment options taht I can’t modify (so they invest my pension). All I can do is enter something like this:
Day 1: $ 100
Day 2: $120
Day 3: $90
Day 1 of the next month: $160 (as I would get the deposit of my next salary contribution).

How would I go about this?

My idea here is to track my whole wealth (well except real estate, etc)

You already mentioned how do it.
Periodically based on the providers statement.

Jan 1st → 1234,44
Feb 1st → 1244,67
March 1st → 1300,00
April 1st → 1280,43

At the beginning → Delivery Inbound of one piece.

having trouble doing this as it gives me fictitious returns. I'm doing something wrong.

If I create quotes this way, one month I have 100, next one I have 115 (15% of pension contribution), then I get a return of 15% in that month. I cant get my head around how to properly map this in the app.

This is the info I can get from the provider:

  • Deposits
  • Return in % and $ per year
  • Total value of the pension per year
