EUR/SAR exchange rate issue

English
1

Hello,

I recently added a Saudi security to Portfolio Performance. The security’s currency is set to SAR, while my portfolio and deposit account use EUR.

When I recorded the purchase, Portfolio Performance initially applied a 1:1 EUR/SAR exchange rate. I manually corrected the exchange rate in the transaction, but the holding’s current value is still calculated using a 1:1 conversion. As a result, approximately SAR 4,200 is displayed as roughly €4,200.

For USD securities, Portfolio Performance converts the value into EUR automatically. How can I configure the same automatic conversion for SAR securities?

My configuration is:

  • Portfolio base currency: EUR
  • Deposit account currency: EUR
  • Security currency: SAR
  • Purchase exchange rate: manually corrected

Could someone explain me how to configure the EUR/SAR exchange-rate data correctly so that both the current holding value and historical performance are converted automatically?

Thank you!

If the required exchange rate is not build in, you can add your own.

Go to all securities, then click the + symbol in top right corner and chose new exchange rate.

As source for EUR/SAR this link should do the trick:

https://de.finance.yahoo.com/quote/EURSAR%3DX/history/

Edit:

Use this ticker symbol: EURSAR=X

And then select yahoo as source for historic quotes

It works! Thank you very much!
