Catch-up on complex corporate actions
Fortunately the vast majority of day-to-day corporate actions (such as dividends and share splits) are automatically incorporated by Sharesight. Here are the more complex corporate actions that may require you to take additional steps to ensure they are correctly recorded within your Sharesight portfolio:
