- Product: Capital Gainz
-
- Description:
- Capital Gainz is an investment portfolio manager that balances the
- modest needs of the small investor with the complex requirements of
- the professional investment manager. It's ideal for investors
- following a 'dollar-cost averaging' strategy with mutual funds.
-
- You record purchases, sales, and distributions with easy to understand
- forms, and select records from scrolling tables. A load/commission
- calculator can be called up when recording a purchase or sale.
-
- You can easily record the sale of a number of different purchases that
- occurred over a period. You can sell shares by specific identity,
- first-in/first-out, last-in/first-out, maximize gains/minimize losses,
- minimize gains/maximize losses, and average cost.
-
- You can calculate a security's total return. Capital Gainz finds the
- first price, last price, and reinvested distributions within a date
- range to calculate a true total return figure.
-
- You can compare a security's total return to your actual realized
- performance. Capital Gainz combines your purchases, sales, and
- distributions to arrive at your actual realized performance.
-
- You can specify flexible reporting options. Capital Gainz gives you
- several levels of detail and summary reports, and the ability to
- restrict the information by date range and/or security. Other reports
- include portfolio allocation and Schedules B and D from the tax forms.
-
- You can perform powerful 'what-if?' scenarios. After you enter how
- many shares to sell and the selling method to use, or select specific
- shares, Capital Gainz displays a table of all affected open shares
- with the associated gain or loss. You are then given the choice of
- confirming or backing out of the sale.
-
- You can easily maintain securities' price histories. Every buy and
- sell transaction adds an entry to the price history, without any
- additional action required on your part. You can also manually add
- entries, change entries, and delete entries.
-
- You can maintain up to 999 separate portfolios. All portfolio specific
- screens and reports show the associated portfolio.
-
- You can keep a pool of defined securities for populating portfolios.
- Capital Gainz separates securities into 'local' and 'global' entities.
- Local securities are linked to global securities, so updating the
- global security's price automatically updates all associated local
- securities. You can even specify brokers for securities.
-
- Additional Graphics and Download Programs can be purchased with the
- registered version. With the Graphics Program, you can generate price
- graphs, total return area charts, security cost/value charts,
- portfolio allocation charts, and performance charts. With the Download
- Program, you can retrieve prices from online services including
- CompuServe and Prodigy.
-
- Capital Gainz provides a powerful and flexible alternative to
- commercial investment software - at a much lower cost!
