Spreadsheet File (.CSV), Unrealized Gains/Losses

The spreadsheet file (.CSV) can be used in spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel. Click Download and follow the instructions that appear on your screen.

When you download this spreadsheet file, you get the following information:

Symbol – The security’s symbol.
Security – The name of the company.
Quantity of Shares – The number of shares bought.
Share price – The price at which the security was bought.
Total Price – The share price multiplied by the quantity of shares.
Date Bought* – The date on which the security was purchased.
Account Name – The name of the account for which security was purchased.
Folio Name – The name of the folio that holds the security. Securities held outside a folio are identified as “non-folio holdings.”
Status – The current status of the open tax lot—short- or long- term.
Report Date – The date on which the report was downloaded.
Current Value per share – The current share price.
Total Current Value – The current share price multiplied by the quantity of shares.
Unrealized Gain/Loss – The value of the capital gain or loss if all shares of the security were sold. Since these unrealized gains and losses are based on a last transaction price that is 20 minutes old, the amount given does not reflect the actual gains or losses you would realize if you sold your shares. Keep in mind that the last transaction may have occurred more than 20 minutes ago.

Note: Retirement accounts are tracked using the average cost method. Therefore individual lots are not tracked and purchase date is reported as the current date on the unrealized gain/loss reports.
