What is the Change of Broker report?

The Change of Broker report lists the folios whose distributor (ARN) changed during a selected period. It covers both directions:

  • Change of Broker In: folios that moved to your ARN from another distributor.
  • Change of Broker Out: folios that moved from your ARN to another distributor.

For each folio, the report shows the amount as on the transfer date. This is the value of the holding when it was transferred, not its current market value.

FAQs: Change of Broker Report

Q1. What does the Change of Broker report show?
It shows the folios whose distributor (ARN) changed during the selected period, either to you or away from you.

Q2. What is the difference between Change of Broker In and Change of Broker Out?
Change of Broker In shows folios that moved to your ARN from another distributor. Change of Broker Out shows folios that moved from your ARN to another distributor.

Q3. What does the Amount column show?
The value of the holding as on the transfer date.

Q4. Is the Amount the current value of the folio?
No. It is the value on the transfer date. The current value can differ because of NAV changes and any transactions after the transfer.

Q5. What does the Total row show?
The sum of the transfer-date amounts for all folios in the report, for the selected mode and period.

Q6. Is the Transfer Date filter mandatory?
Yes. You need to choose a start date and an end date before applying the report.

Q7. How do I see all transfers since I started?
Set the start date of the Transfer Date range to a date before your first transfer, for example 01-01-2000, and the end date to today.

Q8. How do I see transfers for one RM or sub-broker only?
Use the Select User filter and choose that user.

Q9. Can I download the report?
Yes. Choose XLS as the View Type and click Apply.

Q10. How do I find a specific folio or scheme in the report?
Use the search icon on the Folio or Scheme column header.

Q11. Can I sort the report?
Yes. Click the sort arrows on any column header. For example, sort by Amount to see the largest transfers first, or by Transfer Date to see the most recent ones.

Q12. How can I see how much AUM I gained or lost through broker changes in a period?
Run the report in Change of Broker In mode and note the Total. Then run it in Change of Broker Out mode for the same period. The difference between the two Totals is your net gain or loss on transfer-date values.

Q13. Why does one investor appear in several rows?
Each row is one folio and scheme. If an investor moved several schemes or folios, each one gets its own row.
