1. Introducing your new Echelon Portfolio site

We have recently enhanced the Echelon website navigation by switching to a more intuitive top-centric menu, complemented by the sub menu on the left hand side of the page. To help you find your way around the new site, we have prepared this user guide to walk you through the main features of the site and how you can find them.

2. Logging in to the Echelon Portfolio Website

To access the Echelon Portfolio website for corporate actions and reporting, you will still login to the Core Trading website using your existing Username and password.

To login to the Core Trading website, enter your Username and password in the login box in the top right corner of the page and click Login.

Requesting Echelon Portfolio access for your clients

The new Echelon Portfolio site allows you to request view-only access for your clients. With view-only access, your clients will be able to view their corporate action entitlements, detailed information on corporate actions, PDFs of offer prospectuses and reports.

You can request view-only access for new Echelon Portfolio clients in the Echelon Portfolio application form.

To request view-only access for existing Echelon Portfolio clients, please contact Portfolio Client support on 1300 360 896 or [email protected]

Quick Tip

The number shown in brackets in each ‘Entitlements’ link highlights at a glance how many of your clients are entitled to each Corporate Action.

Keep track of which entitlements you’ve actioned with the number of clients still to action indicated in brackets beneath each ‘Un-actioned’ link.

5. Corporate Actions

Entitlement Lists

Select Corporate Actions from the main menu, then Entitlement Lists to view a dashboard of currently open and recently closed corporate actions. You will only see a corporate action for a stock if that stock is held by one of your clients.

Corporate actions and Initial Public Offerings appear under separate headings, giving you easy access to the details of each offer.

From the Corporate Actions page you can access details of any corporate actions, PDFs of Offer Documents and act on your clients’ corporate action offers.

More information on how to use the corporate actions functionality can be found in the Corporate Actions Guide, located on your Echelon Portfolio home page.
