Get on top of your FY2017-18 corporate actions
Now is the perfect time to ensure any corporate actions you are impacted by are accurately recorded within your Sharesight portfolio.

Catch-up on complex corporate actions
Fortunately the vast majority of day-to-day corporate actions (such as dividends and share splits) are automatically incorporated by Sharesight. Here are the more complex corporate actions that may require you to take additional steps to ensure they are correctly recorded within your Sharesight portfolio:
