You can generate an investment holdings report to get in-depth data about your Sharesies investments during a selected period, based on the data we have available to us. 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 Sharesies (such as investments that have delisted to trade on the over-the-counter market)
foreign exchange fees, share transfer fees, and monthly plan fees
withholding tax on the sale of US partnership investments
some corporate action dollar values
tax withheld and paid on dividend reinvestment plans.
Foreign investment fund (FIF) income
The report includes information that may help investors to determine any foreign investment fund (FIF) income they’ve received.
There are some limitations to this information, including:
The report only includes inputs for two calculation methods (the fair dividend rate (FDR) method and the comparative value (CV) method). Seek advice if you’re unsure which method is appropriate for you. You can find more information on FIF income calculations in the IRD’s Guide to foreign investment funds.
FIF income amounts in the report can only be used to give an indication of FIF income when an NZ tax year (e.g. 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025) has been selected for the report download period.
FIF income amounts shown in the report will not always be relevant. For example, NZX-listed investments, NZ unlisted managed funds, and the majority of ASX-listed investments offered through Sharesies do not fall under the FIF regime. You can check which ASX-listed investments are exempt by using the IRD’s tool. We recommend seeking personalised tax advice if you’re unsure about the tax treatment of specific investments.
Withholding tax adjustments ('US', 'AU' and 'Foreign') have been made to FIF income inputs (for example, 'CV - Gains’) based on the assumption that the investor is an NZ tax resident and, where relevant, is claiming tax treaty benefits.
FIF income amounts shown in the report may not accurately account for the impact of corporate actions (for example, a share split). The ‘Potential additional corporate action impact’ column in the report signals whether a given investment has likely been affected by a corporate action within the period.
FIF income amounts shown in the report may not accurately reflect the impact of share transfers. We recommend reviewing FIF income amounts for any investment where a share transfer has taken place during the period
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.co.nz.

Report heading definitions
You can use the definitions below to help you understand the information in your investment holding report.
Please note, the values (including share prices) displayed in the report are calculated at market close on the relevant trading day.
Column heading | 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 | Share price at market close on the trading day prior to the report period. |
Ending share price | Share price at market close on the last trading day of the report period. |
Starting shareholding | Number of shares held at market close on the trading day prior to the start 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. |

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. |

FDR - 5% * Opening market value | The investment’s ‘Starting investment dollar value’ multiplied by 5%. |
FDR - Peak holding method | The difference between ‘Greatest number of shares held’ and the greater of ‘Ending shareholding’ and ‘Starting shareholding’. This difference is then divided by the ‘average cost’.
