What is in Gains and Losses?

• Realised Gains and losses are the actual gain/loss that occurred as a result of an investment or sale. 
• Unrealised Gains and losses are theoretical profit or losses which result in an investment which has not yet been sold for cash.

You can access this section by clicking on Accounting on the left Navigation Pane, and then clicking on Gains & Losses tab.

This will let you further choose between Realised gains and losses and Unrealised gains and losses.

Clicking on the Columns icon, as shown on the right, will let you choose which specific values you want to view - such as Net Amount, Cost, Total Gain/Loss, FX Gain/Loss, and more.

How are my unrealised gains and losses calculated? 

Below is a example of how we calculate our Unrealised Gains & Losses for clients.

The example is based on transactions from the Accounting Methods.

Unrealised Gains for period 31/12/2020 - 31/12/2021

Notes:

• Cost Per Unit is transaction Amount/Units.

• Asset Price is the price of the asset on the closing date in the range. i.e. in the above that is the price on the 31/12/2021.

• Value = Price*Units

Total Cost = Cost Per unit*units

Unrealised Gain/Loss  = Value – Total Cost

To Calculate the Change in Unrealised Gain/Loss you use the price of the asset on the opening date of the date range (31/12/2020), for any tranche that was held on the start of the period.

For Asset : Price at 31/12/2020 is 297.95

The Unrealised Gain here is 126.75 calculated from the difference in Value and Total Cost.
