Hatch 5 Your holdings 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.

Once you have established the connection, any time you trade with Hatch your trades will automatically be synced to your Sharesight portfolio. Sharesight will also automatically create dividends and corporate actions for the holdings you have imported, plus any ongoing trades.

The connection between Hatch and Sharesight can be revoked at any time. This needs to be done on both Hatch’s Sharesight page and in Sharesight on the ‘Sharesight API’ page, under the ‘Account settings’ dropdown menu.

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 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.

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

3 - Share access of your portfolio with your accountant.

4 - Add your other investments to Sharesight.

5 - Use Sharesight to help you complete your tax return.
