PORTAX Software > Inputs > Short Sales Editor

The Short Sales Editor sets up existing individual assets from the Assets Editor for short sales trading.  A single asset is designated as the Short Sales Reserve asset for covering margin calls. The other assets can be set as Short Sales assets which allows their allocations to potentially be negative, less than 0%.

Typically, short selling is done either to further reduce portfolio risk or to profit from a security with an expected future price loss.
 

PORTAX also has the ability to handle sub portfolios with separate short sales accounts for more complex modeling
