# Allocations and ROI

> Compare each portfolio's holdings with its policy mix, and follow its returns.

These two pages tell you, and the trustee, whether the portfolio is invested as agreed and how it is performing.

<Info>
  **Where:** **Allocations** and **Portfolio ROI** in the menu. **Before you start:** create the month-end asset register snapshot; ROI is built from snapshots. A benchmark comparison needs a benchmark assigned by the platform administrator.
</Info>

## Allocations

Select **Allocations** and choose a **Portfolio**.

  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/eosb/ez_KlcTexccb05CV/images/fund-manager/oversight/allocations.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ez_KlcTexccb05CV&q=85&s=1d7c75c98cb6de6adc78407a9e785a17" alt="Allocation variance for Brewery Staff Growth Portfolio: policy and actual percentages for government bonds, fixed deposits and private equity" width="2880" height="2298" data-path="images/fund-manager/oversight/allocations.png" />
</Frame>

Each asset type shows its **Policy %**, **Actual %**, the **Variance** and the value held. Set an **As-at date** and select **Refresh variance**, or choose a **Historical variance snapshot**. Select **Create variance snapshot** at each month-end. **Variance trend** shows the variance over time.

<Tip>
  A large positive variance means you hold less of that type than the policy requires — for example, after writing off an asset. Rebalance, or agree a new policy with the trustee.
</Tip>

## Portfolio ROI

Select **Portfolio ROI**, choose the **Portfolio** and **Month**.

<Frame caption="Portfolio ROI">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/eosb/ez_KlcTexccb05CV/images/fund-manager/oversight/roi.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ez_KlcTexccb05CV&q=85&s=28f8e6a78442797c076e4a43c973fcac" alt="Portfolio ROI with tabs Against benchmark, Active return, Asset class contribution, Capital bridge and Restatements, showing No published months yet" width="2880" height="1800" data-path="images/fund-manager/oversight/roi.png" />
</Frame>

The tabs show the return **Against benchmark**, the **Active return**, each **Asset class contribution**, the **Capital bridge** from opening to closing value, and any **Restatements**.

<Note>
  Each month is published and locked automatically about a week after it ends, once its five-business-day window for late entries has closed. A new portfolio shows **No published months yet** until its first month is published.
