Saxo Markets clients in Australia can now take advantage of Sharesight’s award-winning performance and tax reporting simply by connecting their trading account using Sharesight’s new Saxo Markets integration.

Once connected, Sharesight will sync your account’s trading history and automatically calculate your portfolio performance, inclusive of foreign exchange movements, dividends and corporate actions – giving you the complete picture of your investment returns (and tax) all in a single place.

Why Saxo Markets?

Democratising trading and investment is in Saxo Market’s DNA, with the broker launching one of the first online trading platforms in 1998. Today, Saxo Markets supports clients in over 180 countries, including a significant number in Australia, with investors trading FX, CFDs, stocks, options, futures all from a single account.

This tech-first approach is shared by Sharesight’s vision to build a portfolio tracker that makes it easy for investors to get the performance and tax insights they need. Plus, just like Sharesight’s partner ecosystem and API, Saxo Markets’ open API made it easy to join a growing number of partners that connect to and build upon their trading platform.

Why connect your Saxo Markets account to Sharesight?

Not only will your Sharesight portfolio automatically import all your historical trades when you choose to, every new trade you make with Saxo Markets can be easily synced with your Sharesight portfolio – giving you more time to make the most of Sharesight’s powerful features:

  1. Automatic price and dividend updates – Sharesight adjusts your holdings data with stock price & currency fluctuations and automatically incorporates corporate actions such as dividends, reinvestment plans and share splits into your portfolio.

  2. Understand your true performance – Tracking portfolio performance isn’t easy. Brokerage fees, capital gains, corporate actions and currency fluctuations all factor into your performance. Sharesight’s annualised calculation methodology provides data-driven insights to help you make better investment decisions going forward.

  3. Run your own tax reports – With all your portfolio data in one place, and powerful tax reports such as Taxable Income, Capital Gains Tax, Unrealised Gains and Future Income (upcoming dividends), Sharesight provides everything you need to figure out your obligations at tax time – including the ability to securely share portfolio access directly with your accountant or financial advisor.
