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 Marketech your trades will automatically be synced to your Sharesight portfolio. Sharesight will also automatically track dividends and corporate actions for the holdings you have imported, plus any ongoing trades.
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 you have 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 to your portfolio with your accountant.
4 - Add your other investments to Sharesight.
5 - Use Sharesight to help you complete your tax return.
