Recording Voluntary Corporate Actions

Considerations

Voluntary corporate actions, such as tender offers, are actions requiring a decision from the investor on whether or not to participate. GainsKeeper will not process these actions automatically because the decision on whether to participate will vary for every investor. Nevertheless, GainsKeeper customers can account for voluntary actions in their GainsTracker portfolio by using the Record Deposit, Record Withdraw, Record Buy, and Record Sell functions.

If you have elected to participate in a voluntary action, verify with your broker the amount of cash and/or shares you received as a result of the corporate action. Then, click the appropriate link below to view guidelines for updating your GainsTracker portfolio.
