Italian term

prezzo di carico

Italian to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
I've seen the other kudoz ref, but I suspect this is a different use of the term. It crops up in a banking group report in the paragraph on dividends, which:

riducano di fatto i patrimoni delle società distributrici; rendendo così necessaria la successiva svalutazione del prezzo di carico della partecipazione stessa da parte delle società del Gruppo partecipanti

I believe the prezzo di carico is basically the share price incuding taxes/brokers fees, etc., but I can't find the term for that in English. Unless it simply means that the reduction in the company's assets entails a devaluation of the holding, full stop?
Proposed translations (English)
4 carrying value-book value
3 +1 book value
3 Total price, total value

carrying value-book value

it means just that I think

the value of the companies are reduced and therefore the companies that are carrying such holdings in their books shall have to devalue accordingly

Total price, total value

Maybe this explanation will help you:
Si definisce prezzo di carico il valore al quale un investitore ha acquistato un titolo e lo detiene in portafoglio. Esso è costituito non solo dal prezzo pagato per l'acquisto, ma anche da tutte le spese e commissioni pagate all'intermediario (banca o broker) tramite il quale l'acquisto è avvenuto.
Il prezzo di carico serve per determinare il rendimento effettivo netto di un investimento, in quanto solo considerando anche tutte le spese pagate per l'acquisto (e per la successiva rivendita) si può determinare il rendimento effettivo netto dell'operazione.

book value

"prezzo di carico = book value".

Hi Deborah. I think this is a sort of minor error in the Italian, because you can't reduce the "prezzo di carico" after an acquisition (exept with earnouts and things like that). The author should have put "valore di carico" The asset will have been recognised at cost, which would be the price paid plus accessory costs. This carrying amount is now being written down. Would help to know if these "partecipazioni" are subsidiaries, associates etc.

Thanks Jim, that makes a lot more sense - I'm sorry, I only have an excerpt, I can't give any more info about the participazioni (which I have simply put as holdings).
