BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Online discount broker TradeKing (http://www.tradeking.com/) today announced it now offers its clients access to portfolio management capabilities from Portfolio Director, Inc., leaders in developing and supporting best-of-breed portfolio management systems. TradeKing clients can upload their TradeKing account data for both equities and options to the Portfolio Director software to see time-weighed returns, compare their performance to key benchmarks, produce end of year gain/loss information and other flexible reports, re-balance holdings instantly according to model portfolios, view asset allocation by symbol, investment type, Morningstar category, and other useful portfolio management capabilities.

"At this time of year, we know clients often review their annual portfolio performance so they can assess tax impact, re-balance their portfolios, check asset allocation, and so forth," said Don Montanaro, CEO and chairman of TradeKing. "We're pleased to give them access to a truly professional-grade portfolio management tool for plenty of firepower as they wrap up their year- end reviews. These new features made possible by Portfolio Director are yet another step in giving our clients greater visibility into their ongoing investment success, helping them make informed decisions about their equity and options trading."

With Portfolio Director, TradeKing clients can benefit from features including:

-- Time Weighted Returns - An easy to understand performance report based on Time Weighted Returns shows TradeKing clients at-a-glance how well their portfolio is performing over any timeframe, or against any benchmark, the client chooses. -- Asset Allocation - A flexible asset allocation that displays allocation by symbol, investment type, Morningstar Category, or a client's own custom classifications. -- Portfolio Rebalancing: Clients can create a model portfolio to know when their portfolio is out of balance and make re-balancing their holdings a snap. The feature even recommends the number of shares to adjust. -- Flexible Reports - Clients can create their own spreadsheet-style reports with their selection of columns and headers. Portfolio Director features many reports from which to choose and more than 100 different fields, so clients can tailor reports based on their specific needs. For instance, TradeKing clients can track their stock option strategies (e.g., Covered Calls, Bull Put Spreads) and see the true cost basis, or view the profitability of trading systems using the trade entry/exit notations. -- Tax Gain/Loss - Clients can run reports showing their taxable gain / loss against the original purchase price of a stock, including date purchased and sold. -- Portfolio Benchmarks - Clients can benchmark their individual portfolios against a number of metrics, including the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
