Which transactions had the biggest impact on performance?
A transaction question asks what was bought, sold or paid, and when. The answer reads the transaction history itself, which is also what every other figure on this site is ultimately built from.
Worked through on a sample portfolio. The figures below are that portfolio’s, not yours.
Here are the realized trades that moved your performance most, sorted by realized gain.
| Asset | Date | Quantity | Proceeds (€) | Cost basis (€) | Realized gain (€) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| iShares Core MSCI World UCITS ETF | 24/03/2025 | 50,0000 | 4.945,50 | 3.949,72 | +995,78 |
| iShares Core MSCI World UCITS ETF | 14/05/2024 | 50,0000 | 4.565,50 | 3.776,35 | +789,15 |
What these two entries mean for your performance:
- Both are sales of iShares Core MSCI World UCITS ETF and together they produced the largest realized gains recorded.
- The backend also shows the value those lots would have had if still held (4.945,50 € sale produced a forgone gain of 1.327,25 € and the 4.565,50 € sale shows a forgone gain of 1.707,25 €), indicating missed further upside after the sales.
Notes:
- Your recent transaction list shows buys of major holdings (Apple, Microsoft, MasterCard, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold) but their impact on performance is still largely unrealized and appears in unrealized gains/losses rather than these realized trade rows.
- If you want, I can show a longer transaction list or compare realized vs. unrealized contributions to total gains.
