Can anyone explain why when you hit the toggle between Ā£ and $ the figures donāt seemn to add up? Example: Looking at my FreeTrade portfolio right now and I click into one of the companies, under āYour investmentā it says ā27.37% (Ā£434.87)ā in the investment gains/loss part. If I toggle from Ā£ to $ it now says ā35.06% ($685.55)ā. If I now go and ask Google āconvert Ā£434.87 to USDā the answer it gives is $567.37ā¦ so, how is it possible the percentage is different and the figure rather vastly different when I hit that toggle? Surely the gain would be the same regardless of what currency I am viewing the figures inā¦ am I missing something? Thanks!
Itās because currency fluctuations since you bought have had an effect. E.g. $1 then is not worth the same Ā£ as it is now.

OK, got it. Thanks. I would love a currency toggle on the main portfolio page where you can see all of your holdings. Is that a feature on the road map already?
I guess thatās complicated actually because there would be a mix of currencies between Ā£, $ and ā¬ in a lot of cases. Are there any new features coming to the insights section to help with higher level analytics coming though?
