The benchmark provided by the Professional is the industry group relative to a particular stock in the portfolio in its local country.

The Professional creates its own tickers for these benchmarks by combining the three-letter abbreviation of each industry group with the two-letter abbreviation of its corresponding country. These two abbreviations are coupled by adding symbol @.

Therefore, IND@CH would be the Industrial industry group in Switzerland (see also Group, Market).

How to change the benchmark

If you prefer to use a different benchmark than the one assigned by the Professional you can do so by following these simple steps:

	click on the edit tab
	select the stock whose benchmark you would like to change
	under the column title action click edit
	at the left of your screen in the Benchmark section (5), select the new industry group and country you would like
	in the section below (6), click on Submit.
	return to your portfolio by clicking on the portfolio tab.
