Move a Holding to Another Portfolio

Move a holding to another Navexa portfolio or combine it with an existing holding while preserving its acquisition dates, cost base and transaction history.

Move a holding to the correct portfolio without re-entering its transaction history.

Before You Transfer

Use Transfer Holding when a holding was added to the wrong portfolio and its existing history belongs in the destination portfolio.

A Navexa portfolio should generally represent one owner or tax entity, such as an individual, joint account, SMSF, trust or company.

Do not use Transfer Holding to record a real-world change in ownership. Moving a holding in Navexa reassigns its full history to the destination portfolio.

If the investment changed owners or tax entities, record the change using the relevant broker, registry or accountant documentation.

Move the Holding

To transfer a holding:

  1. Open Portfolio and select the holding you want to move.

  2. Select Actions in the top-right corner.

  3. Select Transfer Holding.

  4. Choose the destination portfolio.

  5. Review the details and select Transfer.

If the destination portfolio does not already contain the same holding, Navexa moves the holding and its history to the selected portfolio.

Combine Existing Holdings

If the destination portfolio already contains the same holding with trades, Navexa will offer to combine them.

The Combine holdings screen shows:

  • The trades and shares or units in the existing destination holding.

  • The trades and shares or units being transferred.

  • The combined totals.

Acquisition dates and cost base information are preserved. Income is recalculated over the combined transaction history.

Review the preview carefully, then select Combine holdings. The two sets of transaction history will appear under one holding in the destination portfolio.

Confirmed Income Warning

If either holding contains confirmed dividends, Navexa displays an additional warning before combining them.

Combining the holdings will:

  • Unconfirm the affected dividends.

  • Recalculate income using the combined transaction history.

  • Potentially change previously generated tax reports.

You must select I understand this resets my confirmed income before you can continue.

After combining, review the holding’s Income tab and reconfirm the correct income records before relying on your reports.

Unconfirmed income is recalculated automatically and does not require this acknowledgement.

When Not to Transfer

Do not use Transfer Holding when:

  • The investment changed owners or tax entities.

  • You want to duplicate a holding across two portfolios.

  • Only an individual trade is incorrect.

  • The source history does not belong to the destination portfolio.

If only one or more trades are incorrect, edit or delete those trades instead of moving the entire holding.

Remember, this is general information, not personal financial advice.
