I have two big ticket items to talk about this month. The first is we have all but completed work on a new predictive future income function. If you are on our beta program and on the Investor, Expert or one of our Business plans you will be able to access this new functionality later in the week via the future income report. Particularly useful for dividend investors, this new predictive function uses a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) formula based on the last five years of dividend history (or less depending on availability) to forecast up to three years into the future.

The other big rollout this month was in our cash accounts area with the ability to auto sync payouts from different brokers to different cash accounts. Previously we’ve only provided the limited ability for payouts to be synced to a single cash account. This new feature set allows you to set a ‘broker’ against a holding (under the holding settings tab) and the ability to choose between syncing trades only, payouts only or both trades and payouts to nominated ‘brokerage cash accounts’.

In addition, we’ve expanded on the ability to use cash accounts in different currencies from your portfolio currency to sync payouts to. This new complex feature set is designed for users who want to track brokerage accounts as part of their investment portfolio but who use multiple brokers for their investing.

• Introduced a new predictive future income function, displaying estimated dividend income up to three years into the future
