## Where it is

ScreenPortfolioBasic

The top of a portfolio page (Dashboard, then Open). Basic and Advanced.

Index in this video: [Large Cap Multi Asset](/strategies/largecap-multi-asset) (the sample portfolio).

## What it means

The large figure is the current value, live. The line under it is profit or loss in rupees and percent on your net invested money, since your first investment. "Same money in NIFTY 50" is what the same amounts, on your own dates, would show in the benchmark. The period chips (Since, 1M, 3M and longer once the portfolio is that old) change the chart and the key figures below it, not these figures.

## The formula

The hero figures are live and since you invested. The same money line grows each amount you put in or took out by the benchmark from its own date to today.

As computed in the RupeeCase app`Hero = current value, live
Profit or loss = current value - invested (net of withdrawals), since you invested
Same money = each amount in or out, grown by the benchmark from its date to today
Period chips: the chart and the key figures, not the hero`

## Worked example

Example only

* Rs 1,00,000 in on 1 Jun; NIFTY 50 then 24,000, now 25,200
* Same money in NIFTY 50: Rs 1,05,000, +5%
* Your portfolio at Rs 1,08,000: +8%, 3 points ahead

## How to read it

* Read the hero and the same money line together: same amounts, same dates.
* The chart can show 1M or 3M; the hero stays since you invested.
* Values move with live prices during market hours.

## Watch out

* The percentage is on net invested money, not per year.
* The benchmark is a price index with no costs; your portfolio carries real charges.
* Changing the chart period does not change the hero figures.
