Search Position Data for One Custodian Bank

In the Position Viewer tool, you can view position data for actual cash settlements associated with a single custodian bank. Selecting a search type of One Custodian Bank restricts results to the custody accounting basis used with cash segregation. The query results shows results across all entities and securities. You can view unit and cash balances by custody location and settlement cash account. If you hold positions in multiple custodian banks, you can identify the quantity for holdings associated with a single custodian. You can also identify the entitlements for units or cash that are segregated at the custodian level.

To search position data for one custodian bank:

  1. In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Reports > Position Viewer.
    You see the Position Viewer workspace. The Search Type option has a value of One Portfolio by default.

  2. In the Search type list, click One Custodian Bank.
    In the Search Details pane, you see the search criteria for the selected search type. When you select this option, you cannot select an entity and the Account Basis field displays a value of CUST, indicating that you are viewing results for the custody accounting basis across all entities. The custody basis is the entity's accounting basis that has its Position Cash Segregation Basis field set to Yes to enable cash segregation. Additional fields appear where you can specify custodian criteria.

  3. Complete the search criteria. 
    TIP:  Use the Max Items Composite option to restrict the maximum number of records in rows of data to return for your search criteria. Otherwise, the amount of data returned can affect the Position Viewer's response time. Your Center Role determines the default value that appears. If your Center Role allows it, you can change the default value to a lower number of rows, but you cannot exceed the default value. 

  4. Click the Search button.
    You see the selected search criteria in the header area. You see the search results in the grid. The grid shows a row for each custody location for the custody bank. The Custodian Bank Code column and the Custody Bank Acct Num column identify the custody location. You can view the Account and Units for each holding at a custody location. In the tabs below, you can review the Cost, Cash, and Income objects for each position for the custody bank. 

  5. View the Cost, Cash, and Income position data. 

The following example shows the query results when you select the One Custodian Bank option for a security held in multiple custody locations. For each custodian bank code/custody bank account number grouping, you can view each holding for each entity at the selected custody bank.
