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.

Why Use the Unrealized Gains and Losses Report?

In the Unrealized Gains and Losses report, you will find versatile sorting and charting options that let you answer holdings-related questions about accounts and groups, such as:

Example 1

A client calls up Advisor Kelly and asks Kelly to raise $750,000 for the client's new vacation home. Kelly uses the Unrealized Gains and Losses report sorted to display short- and long-term gains and losses to look at the client's brokerage account. This helps Kelly identify which tax lots to sell to minimize the tax impact.
