Holdings-Based Style Trail

The Holdings-Based Style Trail chart gives you a historical view of the movement of a portfolio over time in terms of equity style based on historical portfolios. This helps to clearly define the management of a portfolio over time and determine the consistency of that management. You can analyze the holdings-based style consistency of up to 15 investments over a defined time period.
