Use this form to record all dividend payments and DRP share issues. On the first page, first enter the Record date, then the Payment date. The ex-dividend date will be calculated and displayed. These dates are defined as follows:
Record date: the date on which the company closes its register to determine which shareholders are registered to receive the dividend.
Ex-div date: is the fourth business day before the company's Record Date. To be entitled to a dividend a shareholder must have purchased shares before the ex dividend date.
Payment date: is the date the cheque was sent to you.
Record date and Payment date will usually be specified on the dividend notification form. Often the Payment Date is a week or so after the Record Date, but sometimes companies delay payment by many months. Payment Date must be after Record Date.
Once you have recorded the two dates, select the company whose dividend you are recording (only those stocks held at the Ex-Div date shown will be available for selection). Once you have done this, your holdings will be displayed below.
The final step on this page is to fill in the amount per share for both normal and special components of the dividend; and record the franking details. Note that you can record the dividend in either cents per share or dollars per share.
When you enter the per-share dividend amount, the total amounts (unfranked amount, franked amount, net dividend, and imputation credit) will be displayed below. Be sure to check that these correspond with the details on your dividend notification. The form will now look like this:
i also read somewhere recently of a portfolio manager that was capable of automatically "entering in " all the dividends, splits etc that you should have received from the time that you bought the shares - for dummies like me that haven't kept all their paper work in order .....

I went with Stator, its ability to test a trading systems performance is what I really required.
Topshare and manage invest still look like good programs, it depends what you need the software to do for you.

I'm sure there at is at least one thread that has covered this;

It has a link for "Hubb Investor" which is freeand is great for paper tradind too. I have put many on to it for that exact reason, and never had bad feedback.
Good luck
Hi
I have been looking into some portfolio management software. I am trialling Stator AFM and finding it a bit clunky. Does anyone have any recommendation for others that work well. I have a reasonably high trading frequency so have a lot of transactions to capture.
Thanks

I find Stator a bit clunky as well. It's perhaps worthwhile if you want fairly detailed analysis of various sub strategies / portfolios / more frequent trading. But for straight portfolio record purpose it almost offers too much.
I also like sharesight.com.au. It's online cloud based but you can automate (contract notes, dividends etc) a lot with it. It's free for a 10 stock portfolio.
