Track your CMC Markets portfolio with Sharesight

Australian investors who trade in domestic and international shares, ETFs and managed funds through CMC Markets Stockbroking can take advantage of Sharesight’s award-winning portfolio performance, dividend tracking and tax reporting simply by connecting their trading account directly to Sharesight.

Once connected, users can automatically sync their trades from CMC into Sharesight. This gives investors more time to focus on investing, rather than time-consuming portfolio admin.

Who is CMC Markets?

CMC Markets is a UK-based financial services company with an online brokerage platform for Australian investors called CMC Markets Stockbroking. The platform gives investors access to Australian stocks, ETFs and managed funds. CMC also offers international trades in stocks and ETFs, including major global markets such as the Nasdaq, New York (NYSE), London (LSE) and Toronto (TSX) stock exchanges, which are also supported by Sharesight. Other features include investor education on trading strategies, technical and fundamental analysis, as well as access to investor news and market analyst commentary.

Why you should import your CMC trades to Sharesight

By importing your trades from CMC Markets Stockbroking to Sharesight, you can easily see the complete picture of your investment performance if you trade across multiple brokers and asset classes, plus unlock Sharesight’s advanced tax reporting designed for Australian investors.

Unlike the data provided by most brokers, Sharesight takes into account the impact of brokerage fees, dividends and capital gains when calculating investment returns. Sharesight also offers a range of powerful reports for investors including performancep, portfolio diversity, contribution analysis and future income (upcoming dividends). The ability to track cash accounts, property and even cryptocurrency is just another reason that investors should consider using Sharesight to track their investment portfolio.

How to import your CMC trades to Sharesight

Investors trading through CMC Markets Stockbroking can easily establish a secure connection between their CMC and Sharesight accounts, which will automatically import any ongoing trades into their portfolio.
