Investments and assets

Investments

An investment in Clatri is any instrument where you put money expecting a return — whether fixed or variable. The system supports 10 types:

TypeExamples
CDCertificates of deposit
BondsCorporate bonds, government bonds
Savings bondsNational savings bonds
StocksIndividual stocks on an exchange
ETFExchange-traded funds
Mutual fundsCollective investment funds
CryptoBitcoin, Ethereum, any cryptocurrency
Real estate fundsREITs
P2P loansLending platforms
OtherAny other instrument

Value and return

Each investment records a starting value (how much you put in) and a current value (how much it's worth today). Gain or loss is calculated automatically — both in amount and in percentage. If you invested 5 million in a CD and today it's worth 5.3 million, you see +300k (+6%).

For stocks, ETFs, and crypto you can record the ticker (AAPL, BTC-USD) and the quantity of shares or units. The system validates tickers against Yahoo Finance.

Interest and fixed-income return

Fixed-income investments (CDs, bonds, savings bonds) can have simple or compound interest with monthly or annual rate — the system converts between them automatically. If your CD pays 1% monthly or 12.68% annual, you enter whichever you have.

When the rate is greater than zero, auto-calculation of interest is enabled by default. Clatri applies interest per the configured frequency (daily, monthly, or annual) and keeps a record of accrued interest since the last close.

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 for 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 define a maturity date for fixed-income instruments. The system alerts you when maturity approaches.

On the dashboard

Investments appear in the net worth summary alongside your accounts, assets, and obligations. The total portfolio value is added to your assets and shown per currency.


Assets

An asset is something of value where you don't expect periodic financial return — your apartment, your car, work equipment, a web domain. You record it to have a complete picture of your net worth.

Available types:

TypeExamples
Real estateApartment, house, retail space, land
VehicleCar, motorcycle, bike
PhysicalComputer, equipment, machinery, appliance
DigitalWeb domain, software license, NFT
OtherAny other property

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 and is now worth 45 shows a 25% depreciation. An apartment you bought for 200 and is now worth 250 shows a 25% appreciation.

Value updates are manual — you decide when to adjust based on appraisals, market, or your judgment. Clatri doesn't depreciate automatically.

Documents

You can attach documents to each asset: main image, purchase invoices, warranties. If you need the invoice for your computer in 2 years, you'll find it directly in 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 keep inventory for a business.

In net worth

Assets add 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.
