Aylesbury_Duck said:Yes, you're right. It doesn't show it on the first page, but if you click on the fund itself you get the screen you've posted. I could call them and give them the book price as it was when I transferred. I'll get round to that at some point, thanks!
Im pleased Im not the only one thats experienced this issue.

Hi guys
This issue is still rumbling on! I cannot believe that transferring an ISA from one company to another loses all performance data! Its seems crazy to me! I must be misunderstanding something as its such an obvious basic requirement that any investor would want to know!
Anyway, Vanguard has finally come back with some figures. Theyve given me a spread sheet showing:Fund name
Transfer date
No. of Units
Avg Cost
Fund Price As At Day Before
Fund Price On Transfer Date (Close of Business)
What price figure shall I give iWeb? The Avg Cost? Or the Fund Price On Transfer Date ?
Thanks

Yeah I've done a few transfers between different platforms and I've never seen this info pull across.
It's just 1000 units of whatever it might be and each time I'm effectively starting from zero so far as profit or loss.2 -
If you hold Inc units in a a unit trust or OEIC then the profit/loss figures given on broker accounts are always wrong anyway, because they are never updated to take account of the equalisation payment you get with your first dividend, which reduces the purchase capital cost of your holding as it is a return of capital and isn't income.3

In iWeb it display 0 for Costs Per Share, so it must be skewing the profit/loss figure massively(?)

It's unusual to use zero, normally if no value is known, they take the value on the date of transfer. For reasons discussed above profit/loss is almost always wrong, so being so obviously wrong could be a benefit. If it was a non-ISA account it might be more of a problem, but you should never rely solely on your provider's summary of profit/loss for CGT calculations.

As ever, its too much to ask Vanguard to deal with iWeb regards this, so Im stuck in hte middle. They both seem incredulous that I would want to know the Unit Price of the transferred funds, thereby knowing the profit/loss.
