Sharesight will automatically create dividends and corporate actions for the holdings you have imported.

Your returns will be calculated with Sharesight’s performance calculation methodology, which is a money-weighted return methodology, meaning the performance figures take account of the size and timing of cash flows.

Now that you have populated your portfolio we recommend you:

  1. Review the trades imported:

a. Handle any negative holdings - Holdings with less buy trades than sell trades (occurs when you have transferred stocks from another broker).

b. Check fractional share trades for rounding differences.

c. Exchange rates are generated by Sharesight using the end of day exchange rate. These can be edited within the trade.

d. Handle any non automated corporate actions, such as mergers etc.

  1. Verify and confirm automatically generated data (dividends and corporate actions).

  2. Set up the Trade Confirmation Emails feature to automatically import future trades.

  3. Share access to your portfolio with your accountant.

  4. Add your other investments to Sharesight.
