Portfolio getting started FAQs

The Shareview Portfolio service allows you to access a range of information about your shareholdings, on registers that we maintain, via the internet. This includes holding details (such as name and address), indicative share prices, recent balance changes and dividend information. It also includes details of employee schemes and corporate sponsored nominees that we administer.

We use software to encrypt any personal data transferred between your browser, Shareview and our trusted digital identity provider. Personal data is securely stored for 6 years and is deleted after this period.

You can only gain access to your own information using your Username /ID, date of birth and your Password.

Additionally through the registration process you will be required to enter some memorable information. In the event of a forgotten or lost Username and / or Password you will be required to enter this memorable information before you can regain access to your Portfolio.

At present there is no charge for using the service. Provided you have a shareholding on one of the participating registers and have a computer with access to the internet, you can create a Shareview Portfolio free of charge.

The Portfolio service is all about giving you access to information about your holdings. Once logged into your Shareview Portfolio you can select the 'Buy/Sell' option in the Quick Links menu and you will be redirected to Shareview Dealing where you will be able to buy and sell shares. Please note that you are only able to add to an existing holding if you are buying shares in a Corporate Sponsored Nominee account.

Users not registered with the Portfolio service can still use the Shareview Dealing service.

If you sell shares on a register that we maintain, the balance will usually be updated in your Shareview holding within a day of the share register being changed. If shares are bought or sold through the market, the share register changes on the 'settlement' date. This is usually 5 or 10 days after the bargain date and is shown on the contract note from the stockbroker or share dealing service making the trade.
