Share a portfolio with a client

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

With Sharesight you can share portfolios with your clients.

This feature enables you to add an additional benefit to the service you offer to your clients and enable them to track the performance of their investments.

If your client does not already have a Sharesight account they will be prompted to create a free guest account to view the portfolio.

Note: This page applies only to Sharesight Pro partners.

There are 3 access levels:

  • Read Only – able to view all of the data in your portfolio, but will not be able to change or modify any of the data.

  • Read and Write – able to view all of the information in your portfolio as well as add, modify and delete shares, trades, and dividends. They will not be able to add new portfolios, alter any of the portfolio settings or invite additional users to view your portfolio.

  • Admin – able to view and modify all data in the portfolio as well as edit the portfolio settings, Xero settings, and Sharesight Connect settings. They will not be able to delete or rename the portfolio, or invite additional users to view your portfolio.

Once you have invited a client to access a portfolio, you can change their level of access to any of your portfolios at any time from the Clients tab on the Dashboard.

What happens when I invite someone?

Clients who are not currently Sharesight users will receive an email notifying them that they have been granted access to your portfolio. They will be given a free guest login to Sharesight where they can view your portfolio.

Existing Sharesight users will receive an email notifying them and they will see your portfolio included in their list of portfolios.
