Your portfolio valuation
In ‘Account View’ you will also be able to view a summary of your account holdings.

Here we will summarise the total number of holdings in your account, the total purchase cost to date, the updated market value of your account and the total percentage change of your account purchase cost versus your current account market value.

Total Number of Holdings
This is the total number of stock, fund, bond or gilt holdings held within your account at the present time.

Total Purchase Cost
The Total Purchase Cost displayed is the sum of each purchase cost for all of the stock holdings within your account.

Each stock holding within your account is allocated a purchase cost when it is bought through your Barclays Stockbrokers account. The purchase cost will match that displayed on your contract note and represents the total cost of your shares including commission and any other charges. Please note that Corporate Actions may also affect the purchase cost.

If the stock holding was not purchased through us, but transferred into your account, instead the purchase cost allocated to the holding will be that provided by you. If you fail to provide a purchase cost we will allocate zero to that stock holding and on screen this will be displayed as N/A. You can amend a purchase cost at any time by contacting our Client Service Team on 0845 609 0039 or writing to us to confirm the purchase cost.

Total Change
This value represents the percentage increase or decrease of the total market value of your stock holdings relative to their total purchase cost.

Total Market Value
Each stock holding in your account has a market value based on a recent mid price. The Total Market Value displayed is the sum of each market value for all of the stock holdings within your account.

Holdings List
Below the summary information about your stock holdings you can view all of your individual holdings. For each holding you will see the following:

  • Epic code: if you select this, it will take you through to the Detailed Quotes page for the stock in the Research Centre.
  • QTY: The quantity of shares or units you own at the present time. Please note that Pending orders are not included in this value.
  • Ex-Div: The ex-dividend price for each stock will be displayed.
  • Name: The name of the company, fund or bond you have a holding in - if you select this, it will take you to the ‘Stock History’ page for your holding.
  • Purchase Cost: The purchase cost of the holding. Please note that if a purchase cost has not been provided for a holding then a value will not be displayed here.
  • Mid Price: A mid-price for the shares. During market hours if a real-time mid price is not available then the closing mid price from the previous business day will be displayed instead. Please note that for fund holdings this value will be the latest published price.
  • Total change or change today: The title of this function will depend on your personal settings. Through the personalise option you can choose to display the percentage change on each holding since you purchased the stock or by the percentage change since the market opened. The default setting is to display the percentage change since the stock was purchased. Please note that if a purchase cost has not been provided for a holding then its percentage change will not be displayed.
  • Market Value: The market value for the holding based upon a real-time mid price. Please note that outside market hours the market value will be based on a closing mid-price.
  • Deal: By selecting the ‘Deal’ button next to a holding you will be taken through to the dealing pages of the website where you will notice that we have already pre-populated the epic code or fund name in the appropriate field.
