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.

These days so many companies, funds, and ETFs are cross-listed on markets around the world. We built this feature to help you pinpoint your precise investment.

How the enhanced investment search tool works

You may now search on any listed company (or fund) name, or ticker code without first specifying its market or country. The tool will show you a complete list of results, which can also be viewed by market:
