Adjusting share balance without affecting ACB?
Is there any way that I can adjust the share balance of a security without creating a placeholder entry or adjusting the cost of the security?
This is an ongoing issue for me where my wealth management company uses NBIN as custodian and there are monthly rounding adjustments of .001 shares up and down on some of the securities.
The only way I have managed to get these adjustments done "properly" in the past was to adjust a reinvested distribution share quantity by the adjustment amount. That way the ACB is still correct, only the share qty of the reinvestment is off. If I use the remove shares function, it creates a cost adjustment which screws up the ACB, and if I adjust the share balance I get a placeholder that can never be reconciled?
Recently, most of the distributions have been changed from reinvested to cash, so that is no longer an option. These adjustments happen monthly, so a LOT of placeholders would be created, which just seems messy and unnecessary?
Anyone have an alternate resolution?
