Total dollar amount involved in the transaction.

Total Units

After completion of the transaction, the total number of units held for that fund.

Avg Cost

Average cost is the average cost/unit of the units that you own. It is the total cost for these units divided by the total number of units you own. Average cost is not affected by the sale of a portion of the funds you own, but it is affected by the purchase additional funds, including those that may have been purchased as the result of fund distributions.

The value shown as Average Cost is the Adjusted Cost Base (ACB) per unit, which is used mainly for taxation purposes. However, GlobeAdvisor is not an accounting system and you should rely on statements from the fund companies for completing any tax returns or making any decisions on tax owing.
