Sharesight product updates – September 2024

by Ben Clendon, Head of Product, Sharesight | Sep 11th 2024

We introduced a huge improvement to our investment search in early August, benefiting those customers inclined to add trades manually. You should find searching for an instrument on our manual trade form a much smoother experience moving forward. This was an important improvement for the product now that we support more than 750,000 instruments globally.

Some of you may have also noticed a couple of improvements to our new holdings page with the increase in the maximum number of file attachments per holding increasing from 5 to 20 for paying customers, and the introduction of a ‘target price’ function where you can set a target price for an investment. This is our first step towards rolling out a series of goal-based features.

We also rolled out the second step towards customisable reporting in the form of a report download options screen allowing you to configure the PDF or XLSX download, including the addition or removal of columns, column sorting and other settings for certain reports.

Finally, we continued our focus on expanding broker support and introduced support for trade confirmations in multiple languages.
