The portfolio page gives you full insight into your holdings on OwnersRoom. It builds on top of the data contained in the various cap tables of the companies you have invested in and gives you your full investment history.

Overview

The Overview tab gives you a birds eye view of your holdings on OwnersRoom. It displays data across multiple investment vehicles and currencies and where possible, aggregates this data for you. In some cases, there may be missing data that is preventing the aggregation of certain values.

Aggregate data

Data is aggregated on a per-currency basis since adding multiple currencies (eg: Norwegian and Danish kroners) has little value.

If you wish to view your portfolio in a single currency, see below.

Below, you'll find an explanation of the various terms, what they mean and how they are calculated.

Total sum invested

This is the gross sum of all investments in the specified currency.

Realized value

This is the gross sum of all realizations (sale of shares) in the specifed currency.

Unrealized value

Unrealized value is the sum of unrealized values across all investments in the specified currency. The unrealized value of a single investment is the current share holdings multiplied by an estimated price. Price estimates can be come from the company or from you.

Multiple on invested capital (MOIC)

MOIC is a multiple that attempts to give an indication of an investment's performance similar to "return on investment". The aggregated value of MOIC is calculated like so:

realized value + unrealized value
----------------------------------
invested

Total portfolio value

The total value of a portfolio is the sum of the realized and unrealized value of the investments in the specified currency.

Portfolio table

The portfolio table shows the list of investments that make up the portfolio. The table shows how much has been Invested and what the Estimated value is currently. The estimated value is the sum of the realized and unrealized value. Additionally the MOIC for the investment is displayed along with a graphical representation of the MOIC allowing you to compare the performance of multiple investments.

Clicking on a company name takes you to the details of the holding including the transaction history.

Investment details

Once you have navigated into the details of a specific holding you can immediately see the same aggregated values that were discussed earlier at the portfolio level. If there are aggregate values missing, it is usually due to missing data elsewhere.

Estimated value over time

The graph of estimated value attempts to visualize the history of the investment based on the tables below it. In the absence of a publicly available "market price", pricing information for a given share class is based on the transaction record. That implies that each capital event (sale or purchase of shares) provides a new price point which is used to calculate the value of the holdings at the point in time. Additionally, the final point in the graph is based on the current holdings and a price estimate.

Share ownership and valuation

This table provides a summary of the current holdings in this investment and what the Estimated value per share is. The estimated value per share is then multiplied by the current number of shares to give the unrealized value of the share class.

Edit estimated price

Companies may choose to provide an estimate of the current price per share. This may be the price of the last share issuance or transaction or it may be an extrapolated value based on some significant event that has happened within the company. In any case, it is simply an indicator and you can choose to use this price for estimating the unrealized value or you can provide your own estimate which may better reflect your own judgement. In both cases the Note field is used to provide additional context.

Your own price estimates (incl. notes) are not visible to the company.

Transaction record

The transaction record is a chronological series of capital events that shows the full investment history and serves as the basis for all aggregated data. This data is extracted from the company's cap table so discrepancies in the number of shares should be reported to the company. In some cases, the company may not have a valid Price per share for the given event, but you can choose to add your own price such that the data is aggregated correctly.

Your event prices are not visible to the company.

Event types

Currently the events listed in the transaction record are limited to shares only so things like convertible loans, warrants and other instruments are not included.

Most event types should be fairly self-explanatory, however one event type which may cause confusion is a "Share import". A share import event is typically used to encapsulate several events or otherwise model more complicated events. Many companies have a share import event as their first event since they have not imported their cap table with a full history, but have rather imported a "snapshot" before adding other capital events on top. In practice this means that all events that occurred before the import event are likely collapsed into this one single event. While it may be more challenging to add a price to this type of event, it should still be possible by specifying the net (minus any realizations) amount invested up to the date of the share import.

If the company imports it's cap table from a 3rd party such as Euronext Securities, then all events will be "share import" events.

Handling multiple currencies

Both price estimates and event prices allow you specify a currency in addition to the amount. This can be quite useful if you have invested in a company that uses a different currency than your other investments. Instead of having this investment being excluded from aggregation, you can effectively "translate" this investment into your local currency by adding custom price estimates and event prices.

Transaction history

The investment history tab provides you with an overview of all investments across all companies and allow you to filter to a specific investment vehicle. The graph shows the net sum invested (minus realizations) over time.

Missing data

The missing data tab is a subset of the investment history showing only those events that are missing pricing information. These events cause errors when calculating aggregated data so providing accurate price information ensures that your portfolio is accurate and up to date.

Add your own portfolio companies

In addition to data that is connected to a company on OwnersRoom, it is possible to add your own data about companies you have invested in. You can do this either by adding single companies or by importing your portfolio from different available sources of data.

Be aware that this is only static data and does not support adding your entire transaction history and value development. In order to get this data, you can invite the company to set up an account on OwnersRoom.

Add portfolio company

This allows you to add a single company to your portfolio. You start by entering the name and organizational number of the company, and in the next step you can add the different securities you own in that company.

Adding securities can be used for everything from shares to options and convertible loan. You input the quantity, invested amount, realized value (if applicable), and estimated value per quantity. This data will then be added to your aggregated portfolio data.

Import from Skatteetaten

For investors with Norwegian holding companies, you can import your portfolio based on the latest available public data. You simply search the name of your holding company and the import tool will list up your portfolio companies based on data from Skatteetaten.

When importing, you can choose to exclude certain companies that are not relevant, and the import tool will automatically match and exclude companies that are already listed in your portfolio.
