Getting started with Broker

Find your investments, enter your first transaction and understand the overview amounts.

Open your administration and select Broker. The overview shows your open positions first, followed by your transactions. Enter transaction lets you select the investment type and the action you want to record.

Step by step

  1. 1First check Broker settings and add your cash account through Bank accounts. If you already hold investments at the start, specify them using Opening position in the relevant module.
  2. 2Select Enter transaction, then for example Shares, Options or Crypto. Within that module choose Trading, Income, Events, Opening position or Year-end value, as applicable.
  3. 3Copy the actual date, quantities and amounts from your transaction statement. Enter fees and tax withheld separately. A purchase and its payment can have different dates.
  4. 4The posting preview appears when the required information is complete. Under Still to complete or check, click a field name to go to that field. Check the preview and confirm saving.
  5. 5Read open positions using the displayed reference date. A future transaction already appears in the transaction list, but only counts towards the current position from its date. Fully closed positions disappear from Open positions.
  6. 6Average cost is the cost per unit. Total remaining cost and Carrying value apply to the whole position in the accounting currency. Example: 100 shares for €1,000 plus €10 purchase fees gives an average cost of €10.10 and a total cost of €1,010. A later valuation adjustment can change the carrying value without changing that historical cost.

What is on the screen?

  • Reference date and open positions
  • Quantity, average cost and total cost
  • Carrying value and transactions
  • Posting preview and confirmation

What happens next?

Your portfolio and its postings are kept together. Average cost is calculated per investment across brokers within the same administration; quantities also remain visible per broker.
