Nitrogen offers a variety of beautiful and detailed reports to support client-advisor interactions. These reports are powerful tools allowing advisors to convey portfolio risk in a simple, elegant fashion. Reports help clients focus on the big picture, understand the advisor's value, and cement the advisor's interest in their financial future.

Please Note: Nitrogen's proprietary metrics (the Risk Number®, GPA®, Retirement Maps, etc.) have always been calculated net of fees, and a few other metrics are being updated across the app in advance of the 11/4/22 SEC Marketing Rule.
Investment Policy Statement and Investment Roadmap
These reports offer the most flexibility for holistic analysis of client and prospect portfolios alike. IPS reports allow for client signatures, while the Investment Roadmap excludes a signature option. Advisors use these reports to remind clients what's been discussed regarding their portfolio and the investment decisions which have been made.
These reports can be configured to include Current and Proposed Portfolios, Retirement Maps, Stress Tests, Advisory Fees, Risk/Reward Heatmap, and Asset Class breakdowns.
Stats Overview Report and Stats Comparison Report
These reports are built to help you communicate your plan with your clients by showing detailed reports with intuitive visuals. You can even take your analysis deeper with the Stats Comparison Report, allowing you to cross-compare different portfolios or models and prove you have your client’s best interest in mind.
These reports can be configured to include Modeled Performance, Diversification, Risk & Reward/ Size & Style, Portfolio Characteristics, Regional Exposure, and Allocation Overview.
Individual Security Report and Individual Security Comparison Report
These reports are built to help you dive into the metrics of individual securities. It's never been easier to take your analysis to the next level and show clients why one particular investment might be a stronger choice over another proving you have your client’s best interest in mind.
These reports can be configured to include Security Characteristics, Regional Exposure, Modeled Performance, Asset Classification, and Risk & Reward/Size & Style.
Current Portfolio and Proposed Portfolio
These reports show the overall Risk Number® analysis of the specified portfolio plus a list of underlying holdings. Advisors love sharing this report for a quick and simple understanding of portfolio risk. As a bonus, these reports can be set to compare two portfolios side-by-side, eg: Current vs Proposed.
These reports can be configured to include dollars, symbols, Risk/Reward Heatmap, Expense Ratio, Advisory Fees, Annual Dividend, Stress Tests, and Asset Class breakdowns.
Risk Number® Details
This report shows the results of the Risk Questionnaire, including any answers to the written questions, and a sample 95% Historical Range™ to demonstrate risk. Advisors use this report to review questionnaire results and confirm that the client truly matches the indicated Risk Number®.
Retirement Map
This report generates a visual chart and financial details for the client's Retirement Map. Advisors use this report to give clients a snapshot of their overall ability to achieve their retirement goals.
