For your retirement account, you can view detailed information for individual holdings. You can view the cost of your positions as well as information for positions you have sold previously. In addition, you can provide cost information for positions that do not currently have cost information associated with them (e.g., shares transferred from another financial institution).
You can see the cost of your positions and compare them to their current market value by clicking a position's quantity, or by selecting View Lots from the position's Action drop-down list.
For retirement accounts, Fidelity includes all the purchases and exchanges you have initiated in calculating a position's cost amount.
Historically, at Fidelity, cost basis in retirement accounts, has not included dividend reinvestments or capital gains. This calculation is being changed. Beginning in September 2011, positions in retirement accounts will be recalculated to include reinvested dividends and capital gains. This change will be phased in over time. All accounts will be converted to the new calculation by the end of 2012.
You can review the individual purchase information included in the quantity amount by clicking a position's quantity, or by selecting View Lots from the position's Action drop-down list. If you transferred shares from another financial institution or from another Fidelity account, the initial cost of those shares may not be available. You can provide this information by selecting Edit Cost from the Action drop-down list.
