You can generate an investment holdings report to get in-depth data about the investments you hold through the Sharesies platform during a selected period, based on the data that’s available. The information in the reports is made available to you on an 'as is' basis—you’re responsible for checking the accuracy of any information that you use. None of the information from the reports can be taken as personalised investment, financial, or tax advice, and we aren’t liable for your use of the information in that way, or for any inaccuracy, error, or incompleteness of any information.

Information not included in the report

There's certain information that may not be included in the report, such as:

  • investments held for less than a day

  • investments listed on markets that aren’t supported by the Sharesies platform (such as investments that have delisted to trade on the over-the-counter market)

  • foreign exchange fees and share transfer fees

  • withholding tax on the sale of US partnership investments

  • some corporate action dollar values

  • tax withheld and paid on dividend reinvestment plans.

There may be other limitations to the data that we're not aware of. If you see something that doesn’t seem right, please get in touch at help@sharesies.com.au.

Foreign investment fund (FIF) income

The report also includes some information that may help investors to determine any foreign investment fund (FIF) income they’ve received. This information is only relevant to NZ resident taxpayers.

If you wish to use the FIF income information in the report, please refer to the Sharesies NZ help centre article for more information about its limitations.

Description

Investment ticker symbol

Abbreviation used to identify the investment on an exchange. In the report, you see the ticker that is current at the time of the report being generated. Tickers can change for various reasons so this may be different from the ticker used during the reporting period.

NZ managed funds, as they are unlisted, have been given placeholder tickers that may not be recognisable.

Exchange

Exchange the investment is listed on at the time of the report being generated. For example, the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX).

Currency

Local currency of the investment (for example, USD, AUD, or NZD). The same currency applies to all prices and values in the row unless otherwise specified.

Starting investment dollar value

The investment’s ‘Starting share price’ multiplied by your ‘Starting shareholding’.

Ending investment dollar value

The investment’s ‘Ending share price’ multiplied by your ‘Ending shareholding’.

Starting share price

Ending share price

Share price at market close on the last trading day of the report period.

Ending shareholding

Number of shares held at market close on the last trading day of the report period.

Dollar value of shares purchased (including the value of transferred shares)

Dollar value spent on purchasing shares during the report period, excluding fees. This does not include shares received through corporate actions.

If you transferred shares into Sharesies during the report period, the dollar value of the transferred shares will be included in this number.

Dollar value of shares sold (including the value of transferred shares)

Dollar value received from selling shares and from delistings during the report period, excluding fees.

If the investment sold is considered a US partnership for tax purposes, the 10% withholding tax has been deducted from this number.

If you transferred shares out of Sharesies during the report period, the dollar value of the transferred shares will be included in this number.

Greatest number of shares held

Greatest number of shares held for an investment (at market close) on any given trading day during the report period.

Number of shares purchased

Number of shares bought during the period. This does not include shares acquired through corporate actions or through rights offers.

Potential additional corporate action impact

If the report notes ‘True’, a merger, acquisition, demerger, rights offer, or share dividend may have affected this investment during the report period. If the report notes ‘False’, a merger, acquisition, demerger, rights offer, or share dividend is unlikely to have affected the investment during the report period.
