Automating Return of Capital adjustments in ShareSight
3 July 2026
Every investor holding income ETFs runs into the same annual headache: Return of Capital (ROC).
When a fund distribution includes ROC, it's not income — it's a reduction to your cost base. ShareSight needs that adjustment entered manually, holding by holding, distribution by distribution. Get it wrong and your capital gains numbers are wrong.
For a portfolio holding several income ETFs, that's a recurring manual task: checking each fund's distribution notices, working out which portion is ROC, and entering the adjustment correctly in ShareSight before it flows through to your reporting.
We built an automation that does this end-to-end — detects ROC components, calculates the adjustment, and applies it directly in ShareSight via its API.
