Understanding Transaction Currency and FX Rates
When booking trades, it's crucial to understand the concepts of transaction currency, stock quoted currency, and how to handle cases where these differ. Ensuring that these are correctly set up will help maintain the accuracy of your portfolio's values.
Transaction Currency vs. Stock Quoted Currency
- Transaction Currency: The currency in which the trade is recorded.
- Stock Quoted Currency: The currency in which the stock price is quoted on the market.
In some cases, these currencies may differ (i.e stock is bough using a different currency), requiring the use of an FX rate to accurately reflect the trade's value in your portfolio.
Why This Matters
If the transaction currency and the stock quoted currency are not aligned, it can lead to discrepancies in your portfolio values. For example, a stock might be quoted in pence (GBX) but recorded in pounds (GBP).
How to Correct Currency Discrepancies
- Ensure Correct Transaction Currency:
Align the transaction currency with the stock quoted currency. Example: If a stock is quoted in GBX, the transaction should also be recorded in GBX.
- Use FX Rates for Different Currencies:
If the transaction currency differs from the stock quoted currency, apply an appropriate FX rate. Example: For a stock quoted in GBX but recorded in GBP, use an FX rate to convert between the two.
Practical Steps
- Adjusting Transaction Currency:
Review your trade entries to ensure the transaction currency matches the stock quoted currency.
- Setting an FX Rate:
If the currencies differ, calculate and apply the correct FX rate to convert the trade value. Example: For a stock quoted in GBX and recorded in GBP, apply an FX rate of 0.01 to reflect the conversion accurately.
Summary
- Transaction Currency: Currency in which the trade is recorded.
- Stock Quoted Currency: Currency in which the stock is quoted.
- FX Rate: Applied when transaction currency and stock quoted currency differ.
By understanding and correctly applying these concepts, you can ensure your portfolio reflects accurate values, providing a true representation of your investments. If you have any questions or need assistance, our support team is here to help.
