The right way to report mutual funds as assets is to report based on the acquisition value. Because of people's ignorance, there are still those who report market value at the end of the year. But after checking tax regulations, assets owned are reported using the purchase price, also known as acquisition assets.
Reporting on Mutual Funds as Income Not a Tax Object
Referred to as revenue is the portion of profits obtained if an investor sells a mutual fund. Profits in mutual funds are calculated using the difference between the purchase price and the selling price multiplied by the unit sold and reduced by the sales costs if any. If the purchase is made more than 1 time, the purchase price used is the average purchase price.
What if you sell multiple times ?
The profit from several transactions must be added up and then report the total.
What if you lose ?
If you are loss, you don't need to report it in the tax return in the Income not Tax Object section. But keep in mind that if there are sales, the value of mutual fund assets will also be reduced.

A switching transaction is the same as selling an old mutual fund and buying a new one. When the sale of an old mutual fund is carried out, the conditions are the same as redemption.
