01
Use this when you want the broadest analysis: returns, deposits, withdrawals, trades, dividends, fees and tax-year summaries.
Upload one complete date range rather than several overlapping partial exports where possible.
02
Use these when you want month-by-month reconciliation or when the transaction CSV is not enough.
Upload multiple statements together so DiviScout can merge months and deduplicate activity.
03
Use this when you only need current holdings and allocation, not a full performance history.
04
Review warnings, missing tickers and unexpected cash movements before relying on the calculations.
Transaction history CSVs and monthly statements include dividend payments that DiviScout groups by payer and tax year.
A complete transaction history lets the app compare cash flows, realised activity and current value.
A latest portfolio export or monthly statement with open positions is enough for allocation views.
Trading 212 remains the first supported broker because its CSV and PDF exports are already parsed by DiviScout.
Start with the transaction history CSV when possible because it gives the broadest view across dividends, returns, fees, cash movements and UK tax-style summaries.
Use monthly statement PDFs when you want statement-by-statement reconciliation or a current holdings snapshot from the latest uploaded statement.
Yes. DiviScout can combine supported files from the same broker, so you can upload transaction history together with statement PDFs or a portfolio snapshot when you need broader context.
If you are working with PDFs specifically, read the Trading 212 monthly statement guide. If you want results immediately, open the Trading 212 tools hub or the dividend and CGT pages.
