How do I track shares from multiple stock exchanges and in foreign currencies?

David le Cheminant

need to update from Microsoft Money but I have a number of overseas shares (US, UK and Swiss stock exchanges) that I want to track in their native currency.  How do I do this in Reckon, or how do I run non ASX shares in Reckon?

Hi David,

Thank you for your post.

You can create foreign securities in Reckon Accounts Personal range however, the automatic share price update won't download them as we only get prices of securities under ASX only through our provider.

To create a new Security, do the following:

1. Go to Investing menu from top  > Security List
2. Click New > enter the details there and assign native currency and Exchange would be Other and follow the wizard

To manually update price history, do the following:

1. Go to Investing menu from top > Security Detail View 
2. Under Transaction History, right click and select Price History> New and enter all the details

Hope the above helps you.


Thank you.
