We’re so excited to get this opportunity to talk to you about all of the great improvements that are coming with eccuity Version 5.1. 

A couple of game-changers from version 5.1 include

• A full visual overhaul to the ‘Portfolio Page,  better clarity while reviewing your current positions, and a better user experience, allowing all our users to trade with greater ease. 
• The New  ‘News’ feature, which updates you with important news stories that relate to any securities that you currently hold, making sure you’re up to date with any developments that you might need to know about.

Let’s dive right into the incoming changes, before we cover some future changes that’re coming down the line!

New Features

We’re extremely excited to introduce you to some of the brand new features and re-designed user experience coming as part of eccuity version 5.1.

From nifty features that help you re-invest your dividend earnings, to a news feature that updates you only on the stories that affect holdings in your portfolio and a brand new portfolio page design!

‍

New Portfolio Page

The update that we’re perhaps the most excited about is the new Portfolio Page design. 

Completely focussed on improving the clarity and readability of information on the page, making it easier than ever to get a complete understanding of the exact position of your portfolio.

We’ve removed clutter which came from our scrolling sub-pages, and implemented clear icons for all the features that you might need to use on the page. 

We’ve condensed all your recent activity and transaction information into the ‘Transactions’ section, giving you a clear and concise view of your recent investment decisions.  

Market News

We’re really excited to introduce our new market news feature! 

This feature employs the information from your current holdings and active strategies to sift through incoming news stories. It then delivers you the most relevant updates that may impact your invested company or industry.

We're filtering out the unnecessary clutter, providing only news that directly impacts you. By notifying you about stories that pertain to your interests, we're ensuring that you stay well-informed.

Auto-Reinvest Dividend Payments

You can now choose to automatically re-invest any dividend payments that you receive from the ownership of a security back into fractional shares for the company that paid you the dividend.

You can easily turn this feature on by heading over to the ’Settings Page’ while you are logged in, and navigate to the ‘eccuity Invest’ section, to be able to enable this new feature.

Crypto Wallet Withdrawls

Our Crypto Wallet Feature which was implemented in eccuity version 5.0, has now been improved to allow faster and easier withdrawals / transfers from your eccuity account, while also allowing users to ‘cash-out’ (sell their crypto imported from another wallet on the eccuity platform) and withdraw the proceedings from their eccuity account.

Platform Updates

We’ve made a whole host of different platform changes to make investing with us easier than ever. Here are some of the changes made, alongside other un-named bug fixes and various improvements:

‍

Platform Speed Increases and New Buffering System

We have recently concentrated on enhancing the performance across all device types on the platform. This improvement ensures a more responsive experience whether you're viewing pages, securities, strategies, or any other content.

In instances where performance enhancements couldn't be implemented, we've introduced a new buffering system to quickly deliver the pages you need. Additionally, we've ensured that any unloaded information is clearly indicated, eliminating potential confusion.

New Expense Ratios

We’ve improved the ability to get a detailed look into the financials of a company through adding more key data points to the ‘Ratios’ tab of all asset cards. 

Updated Comparison Chart

We’ve upgraded the look of our asset comparison charts to give a clearer view and improved user experience when someone is looking to compare assets on the Discovery and Portfolio Pages.

Not only is the look, feel and speed of the comparisons chart upgraded, we’ve also refined the asset tags to give you detailed profit / loss information over that period.

Updated Asset Slider Design

With a focus on improving user experience and enhancing clarity of information, we've revamped the designs for our 'Asset Sliders'. Rather than taking over the entire page, they now sit neatly to the side, providing the same valuable information without disrupting your workflow.

Website Updates

We've recently implemented a substantial revamp of several pages on the eccuity website, including the navigation system, ensuring you can navigate to your desired location with much ease.

‍

Private Page

We've also updated the eccuity Private webpage, improving its ability to illustrate the various steps our clients take in their journey to becoming eccuity Private members.

Pricing Page

Additionally, we've improved our pricing page to offer even greater transparency about how our users incur fees. We now provide an industry comparison so you can gauge our competitiveness against other brokerage platforms in the industry.

Navbar & Footer Changes

We've redesigned our Navbar and Footer to enhance your navigation experience, making it easier to explore the various pages on our website.

In our new Navbar, we’ve grouped our pages under two new categories: 

• ‘Services’ - which contains services that we perform for our users, like our Private Membership, our Pricing and finally our platform demo booking feature
• ‘Resources’ - which contains our educational resources, like our learning centre, which is dedicated to improving the financial literacy and education of our customers. ‘The Ways to Wealth Podcast’, where we interview business leaders from across New Zealand and finally, the ‘Help Centre’ where you can get in-touch with us, and check our FAQs so we can resolve any issues you’re experiencing. 

We hope these changes streamline your navigation and make it easier for you to access necessary information whenever you need it.
