Question about a withdrawal

Currently I am in need to withdraw 20,000 from our club. My investment value is 23,000, but I only paid about 8,000 for it. If I show this as a withdrawal, won’t my investment percentage drop to zero, when really the remaining 3,000 is about 2 percent of our portfolio, so I should still have a 2 percent investment.
Please advise how to show this?

You should send this question to support@bivio.com.
If you or the treasurer looks up the report showing your adjusted basis you can see if there will be a taxable gain to report on your tax return due to the withdrawal. Bivio handles this quite nicely. The treasurer enters this as a PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL and the program calculates the rest. At tax time you would receive a withdrawal report if there is a taxable gain to report. Withdrawn money comes out of your adjusted basis first, so you would only be taxed if your withdrawal exceeds the basis.

Your club member valuation is based on the number of shares you have times the asset value per unit. You will never have a -0-% unless you sell all of your units.

I have a basic question. How does Bivio calculate the share valuation and number of shares for the club and each member's value? In other words, what is the formula?

How are the number of units determined?

New units are assigned to a partner when the partner makes a
new capital contribution. The formula is number of units
assigned equals amount of capital contribution divided by
value of a unit on the date of the capital contribution.

The total units owned by a partner is the sum of the units
received for all capital contributions.

Total units for the partnership is the sum of total units
owned by all partners.

Jack Ranby.
As I recall, when the club is first formed the default unit value is $10. So as each person invests, she buys one unit with each $10. (If she invests $50 she gets five units.)
As each additional person invests, the club builds more units.
The unit value would stay at $10 each until the club has expenses, revenue or makes investments. From then on, the unit value floats up or down with the market value.
Each monthly meeting the unit value is recalculated and additional investments purchase additional units at the new value.

Bivio has an excellent video that all members should watch at least once. Introduction to Investment Club Accounting. Unfortunately it is listed under Teacher Training so my guess is most members don't watch it until they become a Treasurer.

Start on Bivio's start or home page, look on the left side under Welcome.

Should be required for every member. Not just the treasurer.

Dick,

I suspect you are not going to the home page.  If you have your computer set up to take you to your club's site then you are by-passing the home screen.

If I am correct, go to the upper right corner where you club name is listed; right click on the name to see a pull down menu with several sub-directories listed.  One of them is club-cafe, click on it and you will find a sub-menu on the right side about Starting a club,  hover over "club resources" and click.  You will find the videos here.

As I recall, when the club is first formed the default unit value is $10. So as each person invests, she buys one unit with each $10. (If she invests $50 she gets five units.)
As each additional person invests, the club builds more units.
The unit value would stay at $10 each until the club has expenses, revenue or makes investments. From then on, the unit value floats up or down with the market value.
Each monthly meeting the unit value is recalculated and additional investments purchase additional units at the new value.

Your club member valuation is based on the number of shares you have times the asset value per unit.  You will never have a -0-% unless you sell all of your units.

If you or the treasurer looks up the report showing your adjusted basis you can see if there will be a taxable gain to report on your tax return due to the withdrawal.  Bivio handles this quite nicely.  The treasurer enters this as a PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL and the program calculates the rest.  At tax time you would receive a withdrawal report if there is a taxable gain to report.  Withdrawn money comes out of your adjusted basis first, so you would only be taxed if your withdrawal exceeds the basis.

Currently I am in need to withdraw 20,000 from our club. My investment value is 23,000, but I only paid about 8,000 for it. If I show this as a withdrawal, won't my investment percentage drop to zero, when really the remaining 3,000 is about 2 percent of our portfolio, so I should still have a 2 percent investment.
Please advise how to show this?

Dick,
 
I suspect you are not going to the home page.  If you have your computer set up to take you to your club's site then you are by-passing the home screen.
 
If I am correct, go to the upper right corner where you club name is listed; right click on the name to see a pull down menu with several sub-directories listed.  One of them is club-cafe, click on it and you will find a sub-menu on the right side about Starting a club,  hover over "club resources" and click.  You will find the videos here.
