Enhanced investment search tool

by Angela Thompson, Senior Digital Marketing Manager, Sharesight | Jul 28th 2016

Our engineers are constantly tweaking and improving Sharesight, ensuring it’s the best portfolio management and reporting system for DIY investors and finance professionals.

A recent example is our new and improved investment search tool, which makes it easier than ever to manually add holdings to your portfolio(s) – a great solution if you’re just getting started, don’t have many holdings to track, or need to add a new holding you’ve recently acquired.
