Hi,

I’ve noticed that Sharesight rounds dividend income per security to [4] decimal places per security, whereas a number of ETFs (e.g. those managed by iShares) round to a larger number of significant figures - iShares seems to round to 8 decimal places.

This creates (annoying) small errors in DRP calculations which means each calculation needs to be verified manually.

Can the rounding be removed or increased to 8 decimal places?

Cheers,
