Introduction

✔ Dynamic ✔ PDF Mobile ✔ Client Portal

The Unrealized Gains and Losses report is a holdings report. It shows all open trade lots in the account, as well as the gain or loss that would be incurred if the lot was sold on the As of Date for the report—the unrealized gain or loss. Instead of showing returns based on flows, like many reports, the Unrealized Gains and Losses report shows pure market value or capital appreciation.

This report is useful for reviewing the possible tax implications of selling a specific lot of a security.
