Keep track of corporate actions
For those investors that hold direct equities, keeping track of corporate actions can be one of the most difficult tasks of administering your portfolio. Aurora Asset Management will automatically update your portfolio with any new corporate actions relating to your holdings. You will then have the option to confirm or adjust the corporate action depending on the action that you take.

This process ensures that all the tax-parcels for your investments are accurately recorded, crucial for optimising your capital gains position.


Optimised capital gains processing
Many portfolio administration services only provide one method for calculating your capital gains tax liability: First In First Out (FIFO). With Aurora Asset Management, you have a choice of methods to allocate sell transactions against unrealised tax parcels.

The method that you choose can result in substantial differences in your tax position and different methods may be appropriate for different entities depending upon their tax requirements. Whichever method you choose, Aurora Asset Management’s in built tax engine will take into account available losses and distribute capital gains to optimise the outcome for your portfolio.

Aurora Asset Management enables you to easily switch between allocation methods including:

• Minimise Gain - choose parcels to delay gains
• Maximise Gain - choose parcels to accelerate gains
• Manual - manually pick parcels to sell
• First In First Out - Selects oldest parcels first
