"Industry News, Helpful Hint, & Upcoming Events" eNewsletter

January 2, 2024

This week's Helpful Hint is:

"Adjusted vs Unadjusted Prices"

We recently received a question from one of our clients asking why the price on our valuation for ticker symbol PRF, as of 07-03-2023, was different that the price reported on the month end brokerage statement. The reason is we report unadjusted prices - the price as it actually was on the valuation date. PRF had a 5:1 stock split on July 17. The brokerage statement retroactively adjusted the prices for the the stock split. Since the shares used for the date of death valuation were pre-split, the unadjusted price should be used.

Last week's Helpful Hint was:

"When can I send a portfolio for pricing if the valuation date is New Year's Day?"
