Who is InvestEngine?

InvestEngine is a UK-based broker with an online investing platform. The broker focuses specifically on ETFs, with the option for investors to choose their own investments or invest in managed portfolios. Other key features include the ability to open an ISA account, general investment account or business account, as well as auto-investing technology that helps DIY investors make decisions based on their chosen investing strategy.

Why you should track your InvestEngine trades with Sharesight

By importing your InvestEngine trades to Sharesight, you can easily track your investment performance across different brokers, asset classes and markets, or take advantage of Sharesight’s advanced performance and tax reporting designed for the needs of self-directed investors.

Importantly, Sharesight takes into account the impact of capital gains, dividends, brokerage fees and currency fluctuations when calculating returns – giving investors the full picture of their portfolio’s performance. Sharesight also offers a range of powerful reports for investors including Performance, Portfolio Diversity, Contribution Analysis, Multi-Currency Valuation, Multi-Period 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.

Track your dividend income

Unlike other portfolio trackers, Sharesight automatically tracks dividend and distribution income (including dividend reinvestment plans) and takes this into account 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.
