For your retirement account, you can view detailed information for individual holdings. You can view the cost of your positions as well as information for positions you have sold previously. In addition, you can provide cost information for positions that do not currently have cost information associated with them (e.g., shares transferred from another financial institution).
You can see the cost of your positions and compare them to their current market value by clicking a position's quantity, or by selecting View Lots from the position's Action drop-down list. Dividend and capital gains reinvestments are not included in the position cost information provided by Fidelity.
For retirement accounts, Fidelity includes all the purchases and exchanges you have initiated in calculating a position's cost amount. Dividend and capital gains reinvestments are not included in the cost amount. By excluding reinvestments, you can distinguish and compare how the dollar investments you have made over time have changed relative to the current market value of your positions.
You can review the individual purchase information included in the quantity amount by clicking a position's quantity, or by selecting View Lots from the position's Action drop-down list. If you transferred shares from another financial institution or from another Fidelity account, the initial cost of those shares may not be available. You can provide this information by selecting Edit Cost from the Action drop-down list.

The Eligible Lots page list the eligible lots for which you can provide initial purchase cost information.
