Benchmark Assignments


Assigning benchmarks to the various portfolio levels is done in the Benchmark Assignments tool within the app. A full list of available indices is available within the Queries app in Query ID 7056 Available Index Data.


Please Note: If you need to make numerous benchmark assignments at once, we recommend using the custom import tool to do so. Read more about how that process works in our How to Update Benchmark Assignments En Masse knowledge article. Follow the guidance below if your firm only has a handful to update or assign.
