: I was wondering if when you own shares of one company distributed throughout multiple portfolios can you gather information and generate reports on an individual share throught multiple porftfolios. I ask for two reason

: 1. Tax laws in Canada allow for only weighted average cost of total shares. Therefore if I sell one share from one portfolio I need a quick way to assess my total cost base of each share in from my entire portfolio base.

: 2. Allow for a quick determination of net assets over multiple portfolios.

: I did not find this information on your features or other pages.

: Thanks

Hi Mark,

Many of the reports can be listed by "Symbol" instead of "Investment". Therefore, you could create a report for a portfolio at or above where you want to report on all common symbols. You will want to turn off the option to sub-total the sub-portfolios, so that all common symbols at any level in the portfolio hierarchy are summed/listed together.

Fund Manager's does have an "Average" capital gain report, however it only calculates the average cost basis within the investment itself.

Thanks,
Mark
