The Caruso Investor Portal displays detailed metrics, graphs and tables to help investors track investment performance.
These figures are calculated in real time based on transactions, distributions, and current valuations.

  • Holding - A specific investment position for an investor in a single fund.

  • Portfolio - The complete set of all holdings for an investor, across all funds.

Holding-level display settings are managed within each fund.

To configure holding-level visibility:

  2. Open the Investor Portal tab > Settings.

  3. Configure the following options:

    • Fund Visibility Setting:

      1. Enabled - The holding is displayed in the portfolio table for investors to view.

      1. Disabled - The holding is hidden from the portfolio table and not visible to investors.

      • Disabled – Holdings appear in the portfolio table, but no access to detailed view.

    • Fund Summary – Add a brief description or overview of the fund to display in the Investor Portal.

      • Show on Secondary Market Listings – Controls whether the fund summary appears on secondary market listings.

      • Show on Holdings – Controls whether the fund summary appears on the holding details page.

    • Holding Page Custom Key Metrics:

      • Create, edit, reorder, and delete fund-specific custom metrics.
