The Account Overview screen displays balances, holdings, recent transactions and more. From this screen you can print an account summary. You can also click an investment to view a transaction summary.

The screen initially displays all investments belonging to the client. You do have the option, though, of viewing only active or inactive investments.

In R•Desktop, an account consists of a group of investments within a common account type. Multiple accounts and registrations are supported, including the following:

As they are defined in the product book of the R•Broker system. Examples are Nominee/Client Name/Intermediary Open, RRSP, RRIF, LIRA, LIF, LRIF.

Sole Owner, Spousal, Joint with Rights of Survivorship,
Joint - Tenants in Common, In Trust For.

When a new account is added, the fee code, if properly licensed, will automatically be added under fee setup with a status of “pending”. Furthermore, a billing rate schedule with the default rates is automatically added under billing rates with a status of “pending”. If a plan account with a negotiable fee is added before the effective date but less than the lead-time, the plan will be excluded from the current fee process and a manual fee will need to be processed to capture any outstanding fees.

You can add a new account for an existing client or modify an existing one. Information for both are included in this chapter.

An asterisk appears in the Pending column when there are any direct fund or term trades in a settled status for existing positions. This includes buy, sell, switch, and transfer trades, and it displays in the Account Holdings View, the Client Holdings View, and the Household Holdings View.

When a security holding has a non-zero unit balance held in an account, and the security is also included in an upcoming event or unsettled batch, the “Description” column for that security will be prefaced by two (2) asterisks. This will apply to settled holdings only.

Example: ** ACME INC SER A 6.20%15/30/16

The upcoming events and unsettled batches for securities are displayed in the SSUI Settlement nodes for the following security batch types: Dividends, Fixed Income Interest/Maturity, Reorganizations and Right/Warrant Offerings. If an upcoming event and unsettled batch is cancelled/deleted or settled, then the security holding in the account overview will no longer display the asterisks.

When there is an upcoming event for a holding within the account, and the description is prefaced with two asterisks, “**Upcoming Corporate Action” will appear on the screen.

When there is a voluntary reorganization event with a status of either Active or Expiring for a security that has a positive, non-zero unit balance held in an account, the description of that security displayed on the Account Overview screen will be prefaced by three 3 asterisks. The status refers to the event itself, rather than the event as it relates to the client's election.
