What Is the Start of Series for a Portfolio?
The Start of Series is the inception date of a static portfolio. There are three options for Start of Series that can be selected in the portfolio editor:
- Earliest - the portfolio will start on the inception date of the oldest security in the portfolio
- First Common - the portfolio will start on the inception date of the newest security in the portfolio
- Custom Date - the portfolio will start on the date you select
When Earliest or Custom Date are used, if a holding does not exist on a given date, its weight is redistributed to the other holdings based on their weights
