Overview

The Investment Income Generation screen helps automate the process of recording distributions, dividends, and accruals for investments.

By using ASX and UUT income data, the Investment Income Generation screen can calculate and post the expected income transactions based on how many units are recorded in each investment account.

Note: Investment Income Generation with existing Bank Transactions

The Investment Income Generation screen is intended as an alternative to more automated methods such as the BGL Bank Data Service, Open Banking, and uploading Bank Statements.

If you already imported transactions using other methods, we recommend not using this screen, as doing so may result in duplicate transactions.

Corporate Actions / Distribution Tax Components

Note that Corporate Actions (including DRP transactions) and Distribution Tax Components are not processed on the Investment Income Generation screen.
Please see the following articles for instructions on each process:
