  • Currency conversions

Reconciliation

For any discrepancy:
  1. Check the custodian’s official statement
  2. The custodian record is authoritative
  3. Contact support if persistent issues

Data limitations

Some data may not be available:
  • Alternative investments
  • Held-away assets (unless manually tracked)
  • Real-time pricing
  • Forward-looking estimates

  • Total AUM includes both
