Write-up of book value for regular payment disinvestments

When money is disinvested to cover a regular payment amount, there will be a write-up of the book value in the unitised investment account.

 

Note:

There is no tax implication, however it can result in a negative monetary balance on the unitised investment account as the market value realised will in most cases be greater than the book value. 

 

Calculation of profit or loss

In the Living Annuity Payment run, irrespective of the Type of Run for each Portfolio from which money is to be disinvested and for which the Type of Investment is UNITISED, the value of the realised profit or loss Portfolio will be calculated as follows:

A.      Calculate the estimated number of units to be disinvested by dividing the proportion of the payment amount to be disinvest from the Portfolio by the latest Unit Price for the Portfolio

B.      Retrieve the latest unit balance on the INVSTMEMUNIT account for the Portfolio

C.      Retrieve the latest monetary balance on the INVSTMEMUNIT account for the Portfolio

D.      Calculate the realized profit or loss per Portfolio as follows:

          Amount to be disinvested for the Portfolio – (A / B * C)

          If the result is positive it is a profit and if it is negative it is a loss.

 

Note:

For daily priced Portfolios the unit price will not be available at the time the BT’s are created and therefore the number of units that will be realized can only be estimated based on the latest unit price.  This will result in a slight inaccuracy in the calculation of the realized profit or loss.  

 

The system will create Business Transactions (BT’s) with the following Accounting Activities with the monetary amount of the profit or loss calculated:
