Mark Jr. Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I've been wondering about this lately. Is there any kind of formal "investment tracker" people use to keep track of their holdings? I don't mean the myriad "stock tracking" and "trade tracking" tools out there. But what about things like: stakes in private investment partnerships, ownership stakes in private businesses, real estate holdings (including syndicated holdings, joint ventures etc). I'm realizing I have positions in a couple investment partnerships, a real estate development in another country, some private businesses, etc etc. and that I should have some centralized repository of the details of these investments. If only for the planning purposes of "getting hit by the proverbial bus" so my estate can make some sense out of what's all involved. I mean my accountants have the numbers and transactions but maybe not all the contact details, contracts, etc. And then on top of the how much and wheres, whys and hows, it would be helpful to track income derived, or NOLs, dividends, NAV, etc. Are there any systems like this in existence already? If not, is this something people may be interested in? Or are people more comfortable keeping track their own way, be it a black book in a safety deposit box or a shoebox full of business agreements jotted on the back of cocktail napkins? Just wondering.

bookie71 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I have kept track of mine on a very simple yearly balance sheet on excell (apx 10+ years), It isn't fancy, but at least it gives a starting point. The entities I have control of, I keep in Quick Books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
