As a Stockspot client, your investments are owned under a unique HIN in your name, which is the safest way to own your investments.
Your HIN can be found in your Dashboard under 'Your Profile'. The HIN number will appear when you click on 'Click to reveal'.
You can always use your HIN to check your investment holdings at the share registry. To access a holding with the share registry you can simply follow the below steps:
1) Visit the share registry website for your respective holdings and visit the 'access single holding' page.
Please note that most ETFs are with Computershare, and if not, they'll be with Link Market Services (for example our sustainable portfolio ETFs - FAIR, ETHI, ESGI)
2) 'Enter your HIN (X00XXXXXXX) - this is in the 'Your Profile' section of your dashboard
3) Enter the the ASX code for each ETF e.g. VAS, IOO, IEM, IAF, GLOBAL X PHYSICAL GOLD
4) Enter postcode 1225 (Stockspot is the registered postcode so you aren't sent lots of unnecessary mail)
You'll then be able to look up the holdings statements for your respective ETFs and cross check these with your dashboard figures.
