Cost Base Calculations

Hi there, I notice that the Cost Base calculation on the Holdings Page under “Your Investment” is different than my calculations and other portfolio manager’s calculations.

The Cost base total is different and therefore the cost base per share is different.

I thought it would be as simple as adding up all the total buys and dividend re-investment totals and that would be the Cost Base Total.

Am I missing something?

Hi @drd the cost base can be different for many reasons such as partial selling using different allocation method i.e FIFO, LIFO or average. Or in cases like ETFs, AMIT adjustment can affect the cost base as well. And also corporate actions. Probably good to reach out to support if you still can’t figure out the reason.
