The gap

What your broker leaves to you

Your broker is built for trading. The return, the tax figure and the view across accounts are what you get here.

The Commsec account shows ASX and overseas positions, not their return together after currency moves.

Choose any start and end date. The dashboard recalculates capital gain, IRR and dividend yield for that period.

Commsec statements cover Stocks, ETFs, Options and Managed Funds in AUD and USD for Individual and Trust. They do not compare tax lots under several cost-basis methods.

The tax report calculates gains with FIFO, LIFO, HIFO or average cost.

Commsec keeps Individual and Trust among its 5 account types with Stocks and Managed Funds among 4 asset types in AUD and USD. Holdings at another broker are outside that total.

Add the other accounts. The combined view totals them while keeping each account separate.

Questions

Commsec and AllInvestView, answered

Can I sync my CommSec account with AllInvestView?
The read-only connection is direct, not an aggregator. It imports positions and trades but cannot place orders or move money.
Does AllInvestView support CommSec SMSF accounts?
Add each account separately. The combined view totals them while the account filters keep their results apart.
Is the Commsec connection read only, and is it an aggregator?
The connection to Commsec is read only. It can see positions and transactions, and it can never place an order or move money. It is a direct broker connection, not a service that logs in with your password on your behalf. Broker sync is part of the paid plans. On the free plan you import a file instead.
Does it show my options with Greeks?
Yes. Every open contract is listed with delta, gamma, theta, vega and rho, next to the price of its underlying, with the premium collected and the days left to expiry.
Which cost basis methods can I choose?
FIFO, LIFO, HIFO and average cost. You pick the method on the tax report and the whole report is recalculated, so you can see what each one would cost you before you sell.
How are several currencies handled?
Each position keeps the currency it was bought in. The portfolio is then valued in the base currency you choose, using the rate for the day, so the currency move is part of the return you read.
Can I bring years of history from a file?
Yes. Export the full transaction history from Commsec and upload it. The importer reads the column layout, identifies the securities and shows every row for review before anything is saved, so your cost basis and your returns start from the complete record rather than from today.
What does the free plan cover?
One portfolio and 10 stock holdings, with no card. Bonds, options and custom assets are not counted against that. Broker sync, more portfolios and more holdings are on the paid plans.
