Why is Shares and Gilts performance combined?

Freetrade Chat 🔥

It is REALLY annoying how Freetrade has now clubbed together Shares and Gilts performance in the GIA - I want to see how the performance of my stocks is doing on its own, not inclusive of the gilts! It’s like having a current account and savings account with a bank, but only being able to view the combined total!

It should be that when I click on Gilts I see the overall value/performance of JUST my Gilts (in the performance chart at the top), and when I click on Shares I see the value/performance of JUST my shares (in the performance chart at the top).

I have sent 3 requests to Freetrade about this matter and seem to have been ignored by them on all of them. I’m now reaching the point where I’m planning to switch provider if they don’t sort this out because as far as I’m concerned it’s a major flaw.

Anyone else know why they are doing this? as it seems totally illogical!

Given the same money can be used across both treasuries and stocks how would separate them without having 2 different accounts?

You could have moved all your money into treasuries one month and then back into stocks the next.

I don’t see them different products, just different risk levels

Because it already gives you two tab options - shares and treasury. And they originally were 2 different accounts, but then Freetrade combined them in the GIA. I don’t want this.
