Managing Activities

Activities in Wealthfolio represent all your financial transactions, including buys, sells, dividends, deposits, withdrawals, and more. Properly managing these activities is crucial for accurate portfolio tracking.

Supported Activities

Wealthfolio supports the following activity types to track your investments:

Supported Securities

Wealthfolio uses Universal Symbol objects, which can be identified by either a ticker or a Universal Symbol ID. When you input a ticker, the system returns the first matching result. We primarily adhere to the Yahoo Finance ticker format for consistency and accuracy.

Here are some examples to illustrate the ticker format:

• For stocks traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), append .TO to the ticker. For instance, RY.TO for Royal Bank of Canada.
• For stocks traded on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), use .L at the end. For example, HSBA.L for HSBC Holdings.
• Stocks traded on NASDAQ or NYSE typically don’t require a suffix. For example, AAPL for Apple Inc.

To ensure the most accurate results, always use the ticker with the appropriate suffix for the exchange where the security is traded. For comprehensive information about market coverage and potential data delays, please consult the Yahoo Finance Market Coverage documentation.

Adding Activities Manually

This method is ideal for entering one-off trades or transactions as they occur.

CSV Import

Wealthfolio provides a flexible CSV import feature that allows you to easily map your data fields and save mappings for future use:

1. Ensure your CSV file includes column headers in the first row.
2. Click on the “Import CSV” option
3. Drop your CSV file or click to select it
4. The import wizard will guide you through mapping your CSV columns:
   • Match your CSV columns to Wealthfolio fields (date, symbol, quantity, etc.)
   • Map your activity types to Wealthfolio’s supported types (BUY, SELL, DIVIDEND, etc.)
   • Map any non standard ticker symbol to ensure they match Yahoo Finance format.
5. Review the mapped data preview, errors, and make any necessary adjustments.
6. Save the mapping for this account to streamline future imports
7. Confirm the import if everything looks correct

Your column mappings will be saved for the selected account, making future imports faster and more consistent.

The application will also check the ticker symbols and notify you of any errors. You can filter the error and view the details by clicking on the error icon.
