A share transfer moves shares from one account to another without a sale. It is added manually and creates no gain or loss.
Use a share transfer when your shares change accounts but stay yours, for example when you move a portfolio from one broker to another. FundStat records the move without a sale, so the position keeps its purchase cost and your results are not affected.
Number of shares × market price on the transfer date. FundStat fills in the closing price for you. Shares moved in add this value to the account’s net deposits, and shares moved out subtract it, so the move itself is neither a gain nor a loss and does not change your returns.
Shares moved out leave at their FIFO purchase cost, with no sale and no tax event. Shares moved in keep the purchase cost you enter, which drives unrealized gain, the result of a later sale and PIT-38. If you leave it empty, FundStat uses the market price, so the gain made before the transfer is not counted.
With the same date and market price on both sides, a wallet that includes both accounts sees the withdrawal and the deposit cancel out, so its net deposits stay the same.
Only one of the accounts is in FundStat? Add just that side. For shares moved in, take the purchase cost from your previous broker’s statement.
