Suncorp announced a share consolidation and capital return back in 07 August 2019.

1 – Click on Suncorp, SUN.ASX on the Portfolio Overview Page, to go to Individual Holding Page.

2 – Click ‘Enter a new Trade or Adjustment’.

3 – On the pop-up window, select ‘Return of Capital’ from the transaction type dropdown.

Example: 1,000 shares x $0.39 = $390

7 – Click ‘Save changes’
