When you add a hypothetical sell, Navexa normally matches the sale to purchase parcels using the portfolio's applicable CGT method. Manual parcel selection lets you specify some or all of the parcels you want the scenario to use instead.
Open manual parcel selection
In a scenario, select Add and choose the holding you may sell.
Select Sell and enter the quantity, price and brokerage.
Under Manual parcel selection, select Customise.
Navexa displays the available purchase parcels for the holding. Each parcel shows its purchase date, the units available and the recorded unit cost. Eligible parcels may also show that they have been held for 12 months or more.
Choose the parcels
Find a parcel you want to use.
In Sell from this parcel, enter the number of units to allocate to the hypothetical sale.
Repeat this for any other parcels you want to select.
Confirm that the parcel quantities do not exceed the units available.
Select Add row.
If you select only part of the sell quantity
Navexa uses your manual parcel selections first. If the selected parcels do not cover the full hypothetical sell quantity, Navexa matches the remaining quantity using the applicable CGT method for the portfolio or holding.
For example, if you model a sale of 100 units and manually allocate 40 units, the remaining 60 units are matched using that CGT method.
Review the matched parcels
After adding the row, expand the sell under The trades to review the parcels Navexa matched. The table shows the units, purchase date, cost base, estimated net cash and gain or loss for each matched parcel.
Why parcel selection matters
Different parcels can have different purchase dates and cost bases. Changing the parcels can therefore change the estimated capital gain or loss and the scenario's assessable gain.
Parcel availability and cost information comes from the transactions recorded in your portfolio. Correct any missing or inaccurate portfolio data before relying on the scenario.
Remember, this is general information, not personal financial advice.
