Urgent: Incorrect Loss Display Post HDFC Bank Bonus Issue

Dear Team,

I had raised this query earlier as well, but unfortunately, a satisfactory resolution is still pending.

Ever since the corporate action for HDFC Bank Ltd's bonus shares was processed, the Portfolio Valuation Report has been incorrectly showing these holdings at a loss. This is despite the fact that the stock is actually in profit. The issue seems to arise from the CMP being halved post-bonus, while the average purchase price has remained unchanged — thus distorting the performance calculation.

This misrepresentation not only impacts portfolio-level performance but also creates an unfairly negative impression in front of clients. It reflects poorly on the reliability and accuracy of your platform, especially for marquee names like HDFC Bank and Nestle, both of which have undergone recent bonus issues.

To retain consistency, you may continue to display the original purchase cost as-is. However, for performance calculations, you could adjust the average purchase cost downward in line with the bonus ratio. This will ensure that the true profit/loss is correctly reflected in the reports, even if the absolute cost per share remains unchanged for compliance purposes.

Yes, I am aware of the Performance Summary report, and I do use it. However, clients naturally gravitate to the Portfolio Valuation Report, and this discrepancy is hard to explain to them. It causes confusion and raises doubts — which is something we should avoid.

Please treat this as urgent and resolve the issue at the earliest. The workaround suggested above should be simple to implement, and it will greatly enhance the credibility of the reporting.

Thank you for your support.

Warm regards,
Premal
