In short
A portfolio for each platform or each person
Keep a separate portfolio for each broker, or for each person in the family, and see them one at a time or all together. Each has its own transactions, its own way of matching sales, and its own tax statement.
How many you can have
- Free: 1 portfolio.
- Plus: up to 3, plus a combined view.
- Pro: as many as you need, and SMSF portfolios.
Add a portfolio
- Open Portfolios from the portfolio bar at the top of the app.
- Under Add a portfolio, give it a name, such as the platform it is on.
- If it belongs to someone else in the family, enter their name. Leave it blank if it is yours.
- Choose what's in it: your own investments, super (the investments in a super fund, left out of your tax pack unless you add it, because super is taxed in the fund), or a self-managed super fund (Pro), with its own tax pack at the fund's one-third discount.
Then add its trades, by file, email import or hand. Each portfolio can have its own email import address.
See them together
Choose All portfolios in the bar at the top to see everything at once on the Dashboard, Holdings and Analytics. To edit a trade, choose the portfolio it is in. Capital gains are always worked out portfolio by portfolio, so one person's tax figures never include anyone else's sales, and the tax-time pack puts each person's portfolios into one statement.
Archive a portfolio you have sold out of
Once everything in a portfolio has been sold, you can archive it from the Portfolios page. It moves out of your list and stops counting towards your plan, but nothing is deleted: its gains, dividends and history still count in your tax pack and net worth. You can unarchive it any time.
Invite your accountant
On Pro, your accountant, tax agent or SMSF auditor can see your records, read only:
- Open Settings, Accountant access.
- Enter their email address and send the invitation.
- If you keep documents, choose which folders they can download.
They see what you share once they accept. They can't change anything and have no access to money, and you can remove their access at any time.

I moved shares from one broker to another

Where are my bank accounts?
