As long as the file contains all the required information, you can upload it to Sharesight and quickly bulk import the trading data you wish to see in your portfolio.

Use Sharesight’s Trade Confirmation Emails feature for ongoing trades

Sharesight’s Trade Confirmation Emails feature is an effortless way to import historical and ongoing trades to a Sharesight portfolio. By simply having your broker’s trade confirmations forwarded to your unique Sharesight email address, all of your trades are synced to your portfolio, inclusive of corporate actions such as dividends, mergers and stock splits, with no effort on your part.

Note: This feature is designed primarily for ongoing trades, but it can also be used to fill in historical trades in your Sharesight portfolio. All you need to do is manually forward the Trade Confirmation Emails for the trades you wish to see in your portfolio, starting with the earliest trade you want included.

We need your help to add more brokers!

If your broker is not yet on Sharesight’s list of supported brokers, contact us by leaving a message in the chat interface located at the bottom-right of Sharesight. All we will need is some sample buy and sell trade confirmations (email or PDF), the email the broker sends them from and the subject line of the emails.

We only require a few sample documents to support a new broker, so reach out today if you want to see yours added!
