Valuing positions jointly

Step by step

1. 1Open Joint valuation from the Broker overview and select Add group valuation. Enter a name and financial year. The date follows the actual financial year-end.
2. 2For a new group, add at least two positions. A following annual valuation can also contain one remaining position. The choice shows the investment, depot and holdings or liability. Enter Quantity in group yourself for each position. You can include the whole position or part of it; the same quantities cannot be counted twice across groups.
3. 3Example: shares have €10,000 cost and €9,000 closing value. A purchased protective put has €200 cost and €1,200 closing value. Ordinary carrying values are €9,000 and €200. Combined cost and market value are both €10,200. The group preview reverses the €1,000 share write-down; it does not also record another €1,000 profit on the put.
4. 4For each position, check historical cost, ordinary carrying value, closing value, group adjustment and carrying value after adjustment. Values for a partial position follow the quantity you selected. Confirm only when the composition is correct.
5. 5A new purchase is not automatically added to a group. For a later sale, delivery or transfer, enter how much comes from each group if the allocation is ambiguous. The remainder stays outside the groups. Only when the result is also ambiguous does the form request an amount per group: profit positive, loss negative.
6. 6The adjustment carries into the next financial year; it is not automatically reversed on 1 January. For the next year, first record ordinary year-end values again, then create the next group valuation from the earlier group with your chosen quantities.
7. 7Correcting a related transaction includes the necessary group effects in the same preview. To change or delete a saved annual selection, open the group valuation itself. Participations remain outside this screen.

What is on the screen?

• Group name and financial year
• Position, depot and quantity in group
• Calculated values and additional adjustment
• Allocation on later outgoing transactions

What happens next?

You see both ordinary carrying values and the additional group adjustment. Quantities inside and outside the group remain distinguished during subsequent trading.
