Description

Financial meaning

A register is a structured and organized record used in finance and accounting to track specific types of financial data over time. It acts like a detailed ledger where all movements or events related to a particular category (such as cash, securities, or transactions) are documented.

Platform abstraction

A Register in the Finmars platform is a structured container that stores valuation-related information about a portfolio. Each register is associated with a specific portfolio and reflects a distinct layer of financial data, such as positions, valuations, and links to financial instruments. Registers help structure and organize the way portfolio data is calculated, grouped, and displayed.

Registers are used in:

  • Each register defines the currency and pricing method for asset valuation within the platform.

  • Registers store snapshots of position and value changes that are then used to compute return metrics.

  • Registers help distinguish between cash and position data, creating a cleaner view of asset structure.

  • Registers may reference specific instruments tied to the valuation of positions.
