Why Does My Portfolio Value Look Different in Navexa?

Learn why your Navexa portfolio value may differ from your broker — DRPs, history gaps, corporate actions, fees, and rounding.

When your Navexa portfolio doesn’t quite match your broker or registry, it usually comes down to one of a few common issues. Here’s what to check:

1. Incomplete Trade or Investment History

  • Make sure you’ve imported your entire history, not just recent trades.

  • Some brokers require you to select all available dates when exporting a CSV.

  • If you’ve used more than one broker, remember to add trades from each broker.

  • Don’t forget about share registry transfers or IPO allocations — these may need to be entered manually.

2. Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRPs)

  • Navexa calculates dividends based on your holding quantity on the ex-dividend date × the announced dividend per share.

  • If you had DRP turned on with your broker, Navexa won’t know unless you also enable it here.

  • When you turn DRP on in Navexa:

    • The system recalculates dividends.

    • Adjusts your share quantities.

    • Updates your cost base and performance automatically.
      👉 Double-check DRP is switched on for each holding where it applies.

3. Corporate Actions

  • Some companies restructure their stock — splits, consolidations, mergers, or demergers. You'll receive notifications or correspondence from your broker, share registry, or the company itself. Please refer to this for accuracy.

  • In Navexa, go to Trades > Add to see these options.

  • Examples:

    • Split: 1 share becomes 2.

    • Consolidation: 10 shares become 1.

  • Use the corporate action tools so your holdings reflect reality.

4. Transfers & Crypto Holdings

  • Shares: If you transferred stock into Navexa from another broker, ensure the original buy history is recorded.

  • Crypto (e.g. SOL – Solana):

    • Wallet transfers may include fees.

    • Navexa records transfers out, but sometimes the fee isn’t captured.

    • Always check that wallet transfers show the correct net received amount and that fees are entered.

5. Rounding or Data Feed Variances

  • Small differences (a few dollars) can happen because:

    • Brokers round values differently.

    • Navexa uses official close prices, while brokers may use intraday values.

6. Next Steps

If your portfolio still looks off after checking the above:

  • List the holdings and values that don’t match.

  • Provide a screenshot from your broker for comparison.

  • Confirm if DRP, corporate actions, or transfers are involved.

We’ll help you reconcile the difference from there.
