Before you start
Start from the current portfolio state and treat the article as an operating checklist. If a required input is missing, record that gap instead of inventing precision.
Detailed steps
Open the portfolio map and locate the parent-child connection
Start from the screen named in the step and confirm the portfolio in the top bar before you change anything. If the wrong portfolio is selected, switch portfolios first.
Choose unlink for the relationship you want to remove
Pick the option that matches the real-world record you are adding or reviewing. If two options look similar, use the one that matches the source document, not the one that makes totals look cleaner.
Confirm the action after checking both portfolio names
Compare the screen against your source before relying on the result. Check name, value, currency, date, ownership, liquidity and whether private data should stay hidden.
Return to Net Worth and verify totals changed as expected
Use this step to turn loose information into a clear portfolio record. If you are missing an input, note the gap instead of guessing.

What it adds
- Corrects reporting maps after entity, ownership or family-structure changes.
- Prevents obsolete portfolio links from distorting consolidated net worth.
What it does not do
- Unlinking does not delete the child portfolio or its records.
- Exports created before unlinking remain historical files.
Common mistakes
What to check
- Do not unlink just to hide a balance temporarily.
- Check linked liabilities and parent-level notes after changing the map.
Entering a clean-looking value without recording where it came from.
Ignoring currency, ownership percentage or valuation date because the total appears reasonable.
Using ordinary notes for private access information.
Assuming Unlink a Child Portfolio produces advice, verification or execution beyond the workflow described here.
After you save
- Return to Net Worth and confirm totals changed as expected.
- Open Capital Review to see whether the record created, resolved or changed any review item.

- Revisit this intermediate guide when source evidence changes.
