Why has Otivo connected to Sharesight?

For Otivo, the partnership with Sharesight is all about creating a complete solution for investors. This means investors’ Sharesight portfolio data will be automatically aggregated in Otivo, ensuring the advice they receive is always up to date.

"Connecting your share trading accounts keeps everything nicely up-to-date in Otivo. It also means Otivo can make better recommendations," says Nathan Isterling, Chief Technology Officer at Otivo.

"Manually entering my share positions can be hard work. But connecting them with Sharesight is easy and ensures my advice is always correct."
