By using the ‘Edit Items’ function within the Aberdeen you can quickly make changes to existing holdings, without having to add them as new items to you portfolio. This function is particularly useful when:

Altering the number of units held subsequent to additional purchase.
Altering the number of units held subsequent to a partial sale.
Averaging out the cost per unit after a purchase.
Removing multiple holdings.

Units Held Number of units owned ................[editable – numeric]
Cost of purchase Cost of unit purchased .......[editable – numeric]
Date of purchase ........................................[editable DD/MM/YYYY format]
