Australian investors have a distinctive investment culture: a strong preference for dividend income, widespread ETF ownership through platforms like CommSec and SelfWealth, growing US stock exposure, and one of the highest crypto adoption rates globally. Tracking this mix in one place, with AUD pricing, franked dividend tracking, and real alerts, is where most tools fall down.
The Australian investor's portfolio mix
A typical Australian retail investor holds BHP, Commonwealth Bank or Wesfarmers on the ASX in AUD, perhaps a Vanguard Australian Shares ETF or a global index fund, some exposure to US tech stocks through a CMC Markets or SelfWealth account, and increasing amounts of crypto. Many also manage a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) with its own distinct portfolio of ASX and international holdings.
Dividend tracking is particularly important for Australians. Franked dividends, dividends that carry a tax credit for corporate tax already paid, are a key feature of Australian equity investing, and understanding your total franked income is significant for tax purposes. Most global trackers log dividends generically, with no distinction for franking credits.
Why most trackers fail Australian investors
US-built trackers struggle with ASX tickers and often return stale or incorrect AUD prices. Sharesight handles ASX dividends and franking credits well but is expensive and crypto support is basic. CommSec's built-in tracker only covers CommSec holdings. No major global tracker properly handles the SMSF use case, running a separate, independently tracked portfolio for your super fund alongside personal holdings.
Key features for Australian investors
Live ASX pricing in AUD. Real-time prices for ASX stocks, ETFs and LICs during Sydney trading hours (10am–4pm AEDT). Correct ticker handling for ASX-listed securities without confusing them with ADR equivalents.
Franked dividend tracking. Log dividend payments with franking percentage, accumulate franking credits over time, and view total dividend income per financial year. Essential for BAS and tax return preparation.
SMSF portfolio separation. Run your SMSF holdings as a separate portfolio from your personal account, with independent performance tracking and a combined view when needed.
Multi-currency positions. AUD for ASX holdings, USD for US equities, each tracked natively without a forced single-currency conversion distorting your true position sizes.
How PortfolioTrackr works for Australian investors
PortfolioTrackr supports ASX-listed stocks and ETFs with live AUD pricing during ASX market hours. Dividend payments are tracked per position with franking details, and you can view total dividend income and franking credit accumulation over any period. Multiple portfolios let you run your personal account, SMSF and any other structures independently.
Price alerts operate via Telegram, WhatsApp, email and SMS. Set a target price in AUD on any ASX stock, and receive an immediate alert the moment it is reached during trading hours, across whichever channel you prefer.
