So if I add the totals of all 5 investment accounts and cash account together, I should get something close to my total investment, should I not?
In fact, my 'total investment' is £700 odd too low. This seems rather too large for the rounding and transient errors that are often seen. I've taken a screen capture in case I wake up in the morning thinking it was a dream ....
In addition, there should be £100 waiting to be invested in my MLIA that I can't find.
Has the website recently been 'improved' in some way?
I think I'm going to start taking screencaps of the entire website front page at frequent intervals until my confidence in it improves a bit.

You do know that they've just re-done the Dashboard now don't you?
some information now doesn't show until you click on bits and pieces - and even then it keeps disappearing again

This is separate to the unanswered issue I often see when the total of 'accrued interest' and 'total investment' nosedives by up to ten quid for no discernible reason, then takes a couple of days to crawl back up.

... but I'm still seeing a discrepancy of over 700 quid when all accounts are added together and compared to total investment. If you add together the "total investment" figures for each discrete account, you will find that any "swept idle" funds in the QAA are being counted twice, and so will overstate your true "total investment" by that amount. You might very well think that this dashboard change was ill-conceived, ill-coded, ill-reviewed, and ill-managed; but of course I couldn't possibly comment.

Ah, understanding dawns! £500 came back from #207 that i wasnt expecting, but under the new system this was ' hidden' from me. So that amount, plus the hidden bit in MLIA and visible bit in the Cash account, accounted for twice, make up the "error". All as clear as the thickest and most impenetrable mud! Could we, perhaps, change to using Roman numerals now to make it all a bit clearer still? Or clay tablets incised in cuneiform? Seriously, I don't see any particular value in the changes. D

Using my degree in stating the bleeding obvious, are you aware that loans pay interest back every month and the accrued interest is then zeroed, and some loans also return some of the capital each month. The day these payments occur varys depending on the draw down date of each loan. The reason it takes time to crawl back up could be that there are no loans you are interested in have any units available instantly

You might very well think that this dashboard change was ill-conceived, ill-coded, ill-reviewed, and ill-managed; but of course I couldn't possibly comment. If I add together the "total investment" for each of my sub-accounts -- except for the QAA because everything in there is swept funds from my MLIA/GEIA/GBBA -- I get a total that's 67p less than the "Your Total Investment" shown at the top of my Dashboard. Is that the sort of discrepancy that results from the reported differences in rounding?

What a lovely misleading headline to this thread I'll change it if you like, but at first blush it certainly looked very odd, since I didn't know about the changes to the default display. If there are new accounts to come, I can see that simplifying each account summary to fit them all on the page is sensible. But I'm not sure that a simple summary of all accounts wouldn't be good enough. I probably just want to see amount invested and amount waiting for each. Maybe an amount returned would be nice too. DD

The title's fine. I doesn't say who is making the errors.

DD Look before jumping springs to mind, ''does anyone know why my figures might be wrong?'' would have been more appropriate than a Daily Mail type headline

OK, so a slightly less Daily Mail style headline...
In my defence, I've spent the weekend boozing in Shepherd Market just around the corner from the Assetz offices in Mayfair.
Using only a small smartphone screen for both the AC website and this forum is tricky when you get to be as old as me and your eyesight starts to go.

Is that the sort of discrepancy that results from the reported differences in rounding? IMO: If you're in about 120 loans, then yes.

I think I've found the rogue process that was recalculating displayed totals to 2dp instead of 20dp. Actual holdings weren't affected.
