share price quoted in SGD, dividend quoted in HKD

[terryhoho]

I've this share, valuetronic BN2 in Singapore exchange.

When i retrieve the data and historical data.
The Price is reflect in SGD, but the Dividend is reflect in HKD. so as a result.
The Dividend in the portfolio is overstated by 5 times.
is there anyway i can fix this without manually changing all the dividend records 1 by 1?

Hi terryhoho,

How did you get the dividend data? Did you enter it? Retrieve it from Yahoo (Historical) using the Pro version? If so, can you give me a specific example of a dividend date and per-share amount?

i'm using the evaluation version. retrieve it from yahoo historial.

Hi terryhoho,

Thanks, I see Yahoo is reporting that dividend of 0.07/share on Nov 21, 2017. Yahoo doesn't state what currency that dividend is in, and Fund Manager assumes all data is in the same currency. Unfortunately, Fund Manager wouldn't be able to convert that dividend to a different currency when retrieving. You may have to edit them manually, or not use Yahoo (Historical) to get dividends.

i see. that explains.
thanks for that.
