Investments and assets
Investments
An investment in Clatri is any instrument where you put money expecting a return -- fixed or variable. The system supports 10 types:
| Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| CD | Certificates of deposit |
| Bonds | Corporate bonds, government bonds |
| Savings bonds | National savings bonds |
| Stocks | Individual stocks on the exchange |
| ETF | Exchange-traded funds |
| Mutual funds | Collective investment funds |
| Crypto | Bitcoin, Ethereum, any cryptocurrency |
| Real estate funds | REITs, real estate investment trusts |
| P2P lending | Lending platforms |
| Other | Any other instrument |
Value and returns
Each investment records an initial value (how much you put in) and a current value (what it's worth today). Gain or loss is calculated automatically -- both as an amount and a percentage. If you invested 5 million in a CD and it's now worth 5.3 million, you see +300k (+6%).
For stocks, ETFs, and crypto you can record the ticker (AAPL, BTC-USD) and the number of shares or units. The system validates tickers against Yahoo Finance.
Interest and fixed income
Fixed income investments (CDs, bonds, savings bonds) can have simple or compound interest with a monthly or annual rate -- the system converts automatically between both. If your CD pays 1% monthly or 12.68% annual, enter whichever you have.
When the rate is greater than zero, auto-calculation of interest is enabled by default. Clatri applies interest according to the configured frequency (daily, monthly, or annual) and keeps a record of accrued interest since the last closing.
Investment events
Every relevant movement is recorded as an event:
- Contribution -- you add more money to the investment
- Withdrawal -- you take money out of the investment
- Dividend -- you receive a payment from your investment
- Price update -- the market value changed
- Accrued interest -- the system applied interest
Each event records the previous value, the new one, and the difference. If a year from now you want to know how much you received in dividends or how much you contributed in total, the information is in the history.
Risk level and maturity
You can classify each investment by risk level (very low, low, medium, high, very high) and set a maturity date for fixed income instruments. The system notifies you when maturity is approaching.
In the dashboard
Investments appear in the net worth summary alongside your accounts, assets, and obligations. Your total portfolio value is added to your assets and shown by currency.
Assets
An asset is something that has value but where you don't expect periodic financial returns -- your apartment, your car, work equipment, a web domain. You record it to have a complete picture of your net worth.
The available types are:
| Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Real estate | Apartment, house, commercial space, land |
| Vehicle | Car, motorcycle, bicycle |
| Physical | Computer, equipment, machinery, appliance |
| Digital | Web domain, software license, NFT |
| Other | Any other item |
Value and depreciation
Each asset records a purchase price and a current value. The difference tells you how much it has depreciated or appreciated. A car you bought for 60 million that's now worth 45 shows 25% depreciation. An apartment you bought for 200 that's now worth 250 shows 25% appreciation.
Value updates are manual -- you decide when to adjust based on appraisals, market conditions, or your own judgment. Clatri doesn't depreciate automatically.
Documents
You can attach documents to each asset: main image, purchase invoices, and warranties. If you need your computer's invoice 2 years from now, you'll find it right on the asset.
Quantity and location
Assets support quantities (10 chairs, 3 monitors) with unit of measure (unit, kg, m2), physical location, and SKU code. Useful if you track inventory for a business.
In net worth
Assets are added to net worth as physical assets, separate from liquid assets (accounts) and investments. This gives you a complete view: how much you have in the bank, how much in investments, and how much in property.
