This will open a new tab to the JSE search page or the Unit Trust search page, dependent on the type of portfolio. Click on the green button "Add" next to the instrument you want to add and select the portfolio you created.

    If you don't see your new portfolio in the popup when you add an instrument, make sure you created the correct portfolio type.

    To edit the purchase price of instruments you hold in your portfolio, click on the portfolio that contains the instrument, then click on the instrument you want to edit. On the right hand side is an "Edit share" section. Enter the new purchase price and click on "Update Price".

    Please note that editing the volume and adding/editing a purchase price is both recorded in your "notes" section.
  • Subscribe to email alerts (JSE companies only)

    You can subscribe to email alerts of JSE listed companies. Go to your My Alerts page, and add shares from the popup to enable the option to subscribe. You can choose to subscribe to News and/or Sens alerts.
