Portfolios

Up to three equity portfolios can be created, each containing as many as 20 of the approximately 4,000 listed Japanese stocks. You can receive e-mail alerts when there is movement within your portfolio, and can follow portfolio activity on the Nikkei Home page.

To Create a Stock Portfolio

1. Select Edit on the Portfolio page to create/update a portfolio.
   Note: Stock selection for a portfolio requires the use of a four-digit TSE code identifying the issue.
2. Create a title for the portfolio
3. Input the appropriate TSE code and the number of shares to be ascribed to the portfolio.
4. Click Save All at the bottom of the page to save the portfolio.
5. Click the Price Table or Profit/Loss button to view your portfolio.

Portfolio and issue values will reflect the latest stock updates on NIKKEI.com. Each portfolio provides direct links to a company's charts, company profiles, financial highlights and recent news stories.

To receive portfolio alerts via e-mail

This function will send out an e-mail alert when the conditions you specify are met. Alerts are sent out once a day for each portfolio, if conditions are met.

1. Check the "Send me a portfolio alert by e-mail" box.
2. Select a radio button indicating what your preferred trigger is (changes in yen or by percent).
3. Fill out at least one Over or Under amount (do not use commas, yen marks or %).
   If you fill out both conditions, you will be alerted when one condition is met. Note that the Over amount must be greater than the Under amount, and that the amounts cannot be equal. If you would like to set the alert point at a specific figure, please fill in only one of the boxes. Value Change and Profit/Loss are in relation to the previous day's close.

For example, if you want an alert when there is a +5% or -10% change in the total value of your portfolio compared to the previous day's closing value, select the Value Change (%) option and enter Over 5 and Under -10.
If you wish to be alerted only when your portfolio exceeds a certain amount, or drops below a certain figure, simply enter that amount in the Over or Under box. For example, if you want an alert when the Profit/Loss of your portfolio exceeds 100,000 yen, simply enter 100000 in the Over box.

If you would like to receive a daily update every morning of the value of your portfolio, enter a small figure in both the Over and Under boxes, such as Total Value Change Over 0.01 and Under 0.01. Please select and enter one e-mail address. Note that the e-mail address you enter is used for all portfolios, meaning that you can have alerts sent to only one long-format e-mail address, or one short-format e-mail address.

If you do not receive any alerts, please check that your e-mail address is correctly entered on the Edit screen and that you have checked the "Send me a portfolio alert by e-mail" box. If there are any difficulties in sending out an e-mail to you, an error message will be displayed on the screen.
Click Save All at the bottom of the page to activate the function.
Please note that all figures in the portfolios are delayed at least 20 minutes, and there may be processing delays of up to 20 minutes for the e-mail alerts. Your portfolios will be displayed on the NIKKEI.com Home page with the current stock price and the value change from the previous close.

If you encounter any difficulty, please contact Customer Support for assistance.
