Average acquisition cost (GAV)

Average acquisition cost (GAV)

Average acquisition cost (GAV) is the average price you have paid for your shares.

What is GAV?

GAV (Swedish: genomsnittligt anskaffningsvärde) is the average price a shareholder has paid for their shares in a company. It is recalculated each time you buy more shares.

 

Why GAV matters

GAV is used to calculate a gain or loss in a transfer of shares and for tax reporting. In NVR's digital equity account, investors see their GAV, current value and settlement notes in one place.
