Individual Holding Page

Each holding in your Sharesight portfolio has an Individual Holding Page where you can view all of the information relating to the holding. This page enables you to add and edit trades, adjustments and payouts, e.g. dividends or interest payments.

To access the Individual Holding Page, click on the holding name on the Portfolio Overview Page or search for the holding under the Holdings tab.

Important note: the performance figures at the top of this page relate only to the current holding (open position). You can run the Performance Report with the ‘Include’ gains option selected to view the total return including gains from any sales, or run the Sold Securities Report to view gains from sales only.
