    Like many I use Sharesight. In my case not so much for their reporting capabilities or to track my investments (Vanguard and Nabtrade do that just fine) but to test my portfolio against alternatives.

    I subscribe to one of their monthly plans.

    I've recently received a fund-raising email from them spruiking direct investment in Sharesight itself.

    It's not really my cup of tea, but I'm curious whether others think they have a future.

    I also started using Sharesight recently - why pay $20 for trades when you can pay $9.50?

    I think this is their primary advantage - the rest of the features don't seem very useful.

    From an investment standpoint I'd be worried that others may reduce fees to match. Instead, I'm interested in the ASX itself...

    @LIDM I think you are confusing Sharesight (a portfolio tracking software) with Selfwealth (the $9.50 broker)
     
    number 5, LIDM and Archaon like this.

    Oops right you are - sorry - had been looking at the price movement of Selfwealth recently and was on my mind!

    Forgot to add....

    I also got the email about Sharesight raising funds. I'm not interested. Though I do think Sharesight has a future, I'm not interested in investing in individual stocks or companies and prefer the ease of ETFs.
