Manage Custom Investment

Content also available for tax entities or on our global site.

Custom investments are instruments created by the user to track an investment Sharesight currently does not support. This can be instruments from markets we do not currently support, or unlisted investments such as property or private equity.

Custom investments can be created for a particular portfolio, or at an owner level (visible to all portfolios).
