Sharesight has added support for a number of exchanges in Asia and Europe, in addition to existing support for key markets such as the Hong Kong (HKEX), Tokyo (TYO), London (LSE) and SIX Swiss (SIX) stock exchanges, plus a range of other leading global markets.

Shanghai Stock Exchange

Founded in 1990, the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) is one of two stock exchanges operating independently in mainland China, in addition to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

Why investors should track their trades in global markets with Sharesight

Using Sharesight, it’s easy for investors worldwide to track the price and performance of stocks, ETFs and funds listed on the SSE, SET, MOEX, GPW and EN Dublin, along with the rest of their investments across different markets, brokers and currencies. By tracking all of their investments in Sharesight, investors gain a portfolio-wide view of their performance through Sharesight’s advanced reporting built for the needs of self-directed investors. Investors also get the full picture of their returns with Sharesight’s annualised performance calculation methodology, which includes the impact of capital gains and losses, brokerage fees, dividends and foreign exchange rates when calculating performance.

Track dividend income from stocks

Unlike other portfolio trackers, Sharesight automatically tracks dividend and distribution income and includes this information when calculating your investment return. In the screenshot below for example, dividends make a significant contribution to this stock’s returns, highlighting the value of a portfolio tracking solution that includes more than just capital gains in its performance calculations.

An example of an SHG stock where dividends contribute 20.81% in returns, which inclusive of 43.60% capital gains and -0.90% currency gain, results in a net total return of 63.51%.

Run powerful performance reports built for investors

For investors who want a more detailed breakdown of their portfolio’s performance, Sharesight offers a range of powerful reports including:

  • Performance: Calculate your total portfolio returns over any selected period.

  • Diversity: Discover how the assets in your portfolio are diversified across different investment sectors, investment types, countries and markets.

  • Contribution Analysis: Measure the impact of your holdings and asset allocations on your overall portfolio performance.

  • Multi-Currency Valuation Report: See the value of your investments denominated in the currency of your choice.

  • Future Income: View announced dividends and interest payments expected for investments in your portfolio.

Calculate the impact of investments on your portfolio’s returns

In the screenshot below, you can see the Contribution Analysis Report (sorted by market) being used to assess the ‘weight’ of various markets in a portfolio including SHG, BKK, MISX, WAR and DUB stocks. This would be particularly useful for an investor looking to compare the relative contribution of their investments in a specific market to the total return on their portfolio, for instance. In this example, the BKK is the main contributor to the portfolio’s returns, constituting 43.44% and £42,003.06 (or ฿1,850,959.74).
