What is Entity Ownership (Rollup)?
The Entity Ownership (or "Rollup") feature is a special view on the Asset-Map that allows you to more accurately visualize a household member's financial stake in any entity-owned instruments (like assets or liabilities held by a partnership, LLC, or trust).
Purpose of This Feature
Previously, if an entity (like "Smith Family LLC") owned an asset, the full value of that asset would appear on the Asset-Map, but it wouldn't be factored into the personal "Total" calculations for any individual member of that LLC.
This feature solves that problem. It allows you to define what percentage of an entity each member owns. The Asset-Map then calculates each member's proportional share of that entity's assets and displays it, providing a more accurate and realistic financial picture.
Key Benefits for Planners
Using the Entity Ownership view provides several advantages:
Reduces Clutter: Instead of multiple entity-owned assets appearing, you can "roll them up" into a single, clean box representing the member's stake.
Simplifies Households: It makes complex, high-net-worth households with multiple entities much easier to visualize and understand.
Provides an Alternative View: It offers a powerful alternative way to present a household's financial position, especially for PDF reports, where you can show the view collapsed, expanded, or off entirely.
How to Use the Entity Ownership View
There are two parts: setting up the entity and then toggling the view on the Asset-Map.
Part 1: Set Up Entity Ownership
Enable the Feature: First, this feature must be turned on for your account. You may need to contact your home office or our support team to enable the "Entity Rollup" feature flag.
Assign Ownership:
Go to the entity's profile modal (e.g., "Smith Family LLC").
Check the box that says "Assign Entity Ownership".
Once checked, you will see percentage inputs next to each linked member.
Enter the ownership percentage for each member (e.g., Jane Smith: 50%, John Smith: 50%). The total must be 100% or less.
Part 2: View the Rollup on the Asset-Map
Select a Member: On the Asset-Map, make sure you have a member selected (in the top bar) who has an ownership stake in the entity.
Toggle the View: In the "Actions" menu (or by right-clicking), click the visibility toggle for "Entity Ownership".
See the Result: You will now see new "rollup" boxes on the Asset-Map, typically with a light blue background.
These boxes represent the member's share of the entity's assets.
For example, if the LLC owns a $800,000 building and Jane Smith has a 50% stake, this box will show her $400,000 portion.
This value will now be included in her regional "Total" calculations.
Click the blue tile to expand.
Important Things to Know
It's a Display View: This feature is a visualization tool for the Asset-Map page only. It does not create new instruments or change calculations on any other reports (like Key Financial Figures, or Balance Sheet).
Grouping: Rollup boxes are grouped by the entity and then by the asset category (e.g., all of "Smith Family LLC's" Real Estate assets will be in one rollup box, and its Non-Retirement assets in another).
PDF Reports: When generating a PDF from the "Reports" page, you will have a new dropdown for "Entity Ownership." You can choose to show the rollup view Collapsed (stacked boxes), Expanded (showing the individual instruments), or Off (the default view).
On the Asset-Map, Toggle Visibility of Entity Ownership must be selected for the stacking effect (blue tile) to appear.
If Toggle Visibility of Entity Ownership is unchecked, assets will appear as joint yellow tile assets if the linked members' avatars are present together on the screen.
Target Maps do not support percentage-of-ownership settings. To depict partial ownership, you can either adjust the value of an asset manually or create a separate asset entry for the owned share.
The Balance Sheet report will only count the full value of the assets for the entity and not towards the ownership stake of the members.
