How do I enter an existing GIC or bond?
Where to find it: ACCOUNTS and INVESTMENTS → Edit Investments
Open Edit Investments for the account and use the Add Investment button for the holding’s currency. Select GIC, Bond or Term Deposit. Enter its current value, cost information, expected interest and valuation date. Use the value as of that date, including accrued interest if it is included in the current value on your statement. Do not enter the future maturity value as today’s market value; TIME MACHINE projects the future interest from the entered balance and return assumption.
Enter its actual maturity date and the term length used for renewals on the investment form. The maturity date is the date before which the holding cannot be sold in the projection.
To set a renewal rate, open RATES/YIELDS and CURRENCIES and use Renew for the investment. Check the displayed start date and enter the rate. The term-length field belongs to the investment form, not this renewal-rate form. Without a renewal rate, the maturing investment is sold into the account’s Cash investment.
