Overview

A Consolidated Account Statement (CAS) brings all investment information together, making portfolio tracking simpler and more organised.

Investment portfolios are often built over time through different channels, including fund houses, distributors, brokers and digital investment platforms. As investments grow, tracking holdings, transactions and portfolio activity across multiple statements can become increasingly complex. A Consolidated Account Statement (CAS) addresses this challenge by consolidating investment information into a single statement.

What is a Consolidated Account Statement (CAS)?

A CAS is a statement that brings together mutual fund holdings and transaction details in one place. It typically includes scheme and folio information, units held, transaction records, current valuations and capital gains details, providing a comprehensive view of portfolio activity.

A CAS typically includes:

  • Scheme and folio details
  • Units held and current valuation 
  • Transaction history, including purchases, redemptions and switches
  • Latest NAV details
  • Capital gains information for reporting purposes


By bringing this information together, CAS makes it easier to understand and monitor investments. 

How SmartWealth Helps Import CAS

To simplify portfolio tracking, HDFC Bank SmartWealth offers a QR-based CAS import process that consolidates investment holdings in one place. The process involves the following steps:

Step 1: Click on the External Investments section on the platform dashboard. 

Step 2: Complete the authentication process on MF Central by carrying out the following steps: -

  1. Verify the registered mobile number using an OTP  
  2. Choose investment type
  3. Review your transaction
  4. Select all AMCs
  5. Generate QR  


Step 3:
Once the QR code is generated, it is automatically uploaded within the same session, eliminating the need for a manual upload.  

Step 4: Your external mutual fund holdings are then securely imported and displayed in your portfolio, making it easier to review all investments in one place. 

Benefits of CAS for Mutual Fund Investors

Consolidating financial data offers distinct advantages for portfolio oversight and is as follows: 

  1. Simplified Portfolio Tracking
    CAS provides a consolidated view of investments, reducing the need to refer to multiple statements. 
  2. Better Visibility of Investments
    Investors can review their holdings and transactions from a single statement, making portfolio monitoring easier.

    A consolidated statement helps maintain investment information in an organised manner. 
  4. Time Efficiency
    CAS reduces the effort involved in gathering information from multiple sources. 
  5. Easier Tax Planning
    Capital gains and transaction details available in CAS can help support tax reporting and financial planning.
