Did you know you can add Unlisted Investments to your portfolio? In addition to ASX-listed and US stocks, cryptocurrencies, ETFs and cash accounts, you can now add and track property, art — any ‘unlisted’ asset you’ve invested in but which doesn’t trade on traditional markets or exchanges. Here’s how it works…
Adding an Unlisted Investment is easy.
In your Portfolio screen, click ‘Add Holding’ and then select ‘Unlisted Investment’.
This will open a form in which you can enter the attributes for your unlisted investment.
Simply enter the investment name, for example, ‘Investment Property’, enter the trade type, date, quantity and price.
You also have the options of entering brokerage cost and any notes you might want to attach to the holding.
Now you can view your unlisted holding in your portfolio and monitor all the same metrics you would with a stock in your account.
The only difference is you will need to manually update the pricing information in order for the platform to start providing analytics data on capital gain, total return and so on.
In the case of an investing app account like Spaceship, for example, you can add further buy and sell trades, and update holding value as and when it suits you.
Obviously, the more information you add to your unlisted investment over time, the better data your account can provide.
