Customers can easily add, edit, and delete portfolios from the Portfolio Home Screen (accessed by clicking on the Omega Point logo in the top-left corner).
Creating a portfolio is the first step before Uploading Position to a Portfolio.
Add Portfolio
To begin, click the "+" (Create resource) button in the top-right corner of the screen. This button is available from both the Resources and Favorites tabs (in the left-hand navigation), so you can start from either one.
From the "Create New" menu that appears, select "Portfolio" to open the Add Portfolio dialog.
Note: if you don't see the "+" or it appears greyed out, your account doesn't yet have access to a risk model — reach out to your Omega Point contact.
Provide a name that is between 3 and 50 characters long. Only alphanumeric characters, underscores (_), hyphens (-), and spaces are allowed — no other special characters.
Set a risk model, a description, and select if you would like positions to rollover to the current data (in the case of portfolios that do not have any current date information). More information in the below section.
After creating a portfolio, you have the option to upload positions through a UI upload wizard.
Once a portfolio has been added, the portfolio appears in the list of portfolios.
Edit Portfolio
Portfolio metadata can be edited by clicking on the setting menu and selecting "Edit."
