Importing Interest-based Assets
While manually adding such assets is a viable option, the most efficient method is to create an import template. This is particularly useful if your bank provides you with a file or table containing transaction details.
To organize them better, consider creating custom Markets for all your bonds or deposits. This will allow you to compare them more easily.
Currently, only Polish government consumer bonds are supported automatically - simply search for their name. For other assets, create a custom asset and set up interest pricing to automatically generate future interest payment transactions and calculate accrued interest.
Tracking Interest-based Assets
Create an asset with the appropriate type (Bond or Deposit).
Add a
Buytransaction. Set thePriceto 1, or whatever is the face value.To ensure accurate reporting, you can either bulk-import actual interest payments or adjust the automatically generated transactions.
Add
SellorInterest(with Amortized Quantity) transactions to close the position early.
Exploring Your Interest-based Assets
The Portfolio section allows you to compare the fixed income of all the assets in your portfolio. This includes Bonds, Stocks and Real Estate, enabling you to see which one is bringing the most effective yield.
If you are adding transactions or bond market prices with a future date, you can change the Date Period in the Portfolio to see the future value of your fixed-income portfolio. You can choose a particular date, or just type +6m to see six months into the future.
