How can we help?

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 Investments 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.

High-level navigation - The navigation tabs, portfolio dropdown menu, account settings menu, search bar, and holding name & code are shared across Sharesight; for a full breakdown see the Portfolio Investments Page.

Total Return - The total return that has been achieved to date on currently held shares.

For any other date range it will pick up the market value of the report start date, based on the date range selected. Total return is shown in currency amount and as an annualised percentage.

Holding Graph

Symbols on the graph mark corporate action events as follows:
