Portfolio Columns in Microsoft Money

The portfolio in MS Money allows you to display a lot of different information. Some of the information may be relevant to particular investment types, and others is downloaded from MSN Money when you run an online update.

The portfolio is customizable (see FAQ Article 413) and allows you to create views utilizing the information that is available for your investments. The columns you can display are shown below.

Note: Those column headings marked by an asterisk (*) do not have the option to select a number of decimal places (FAQ Article 408). All other columns allow you to choose a value.
