When your club acquires a new security, either via a purchase or as a result of a spin-off or merger, the club officer entering the transaction into bivio will be required to enter the ticker symbol of the newly acquired company. If you are unsure of the exact ticker symbol, bivio offers a symbol lookup feature. If the ticker symbol isn't found and you are sure about the proper spelling, that company, fund, etc. is not in bivio's database.

If an investment held by the club is not in the bivio database, you will be asked to define it as an Unlisted Investment. To do so, simply click on the New Unlisted button on the Bought, Merge, or Spinoff page. A new page will open where you will be asked to define a ticker symbol for the unlisted investment, the full name of the unlisted investment, the type of investment, and whether or not the investment is Federal Tax Free.

Note: Once your club has obtained and entered an Unlisted Investment into your club's bivio accounting software, either resulting from a purchase, merger, or spin-off transaction, it is your club's responsibility to enter an accurate price for that investment as of the Member Valuation Date used for member payments and as of the Member Valuation Date used in a member withdrawal.

You can enter a new value for your Unlisted Investments using the Value Unlisted Investments button on your Accounting > Investments page. You can also Change Past Valuations by clicking on the link on your Administration > Tools page.
