Caruso gives fund managers flexibility to customise how investors interact with the Investor Portal. You can control what information investors see, which metrics are displayed, and how their portfolio and holding views are presented.
This article provides an overview of the configuration options available and where to access them.
Where to Configure Settings
Configuration settings are managed in two locations, depending on what you want to customise.
Portfolio views:
In the navigation pane, select Configuration
Here you can manage settings that apply across all portfolios
Fund-specific views:
In the navigation pane, select Funds
Select the relevant fund
Open the Investor Portal tab
Here you can manage settings specific to that fund's holdings
For more detail please review the following article Managing Investor Portal Preferences
By default, new funds display basic items on the Investor Portal. You can update these settings at any time to match your business requirements.
