I am using the latest, up-to-date, paid Quicken desktop version.so if quicken helps, may I ask which version you are using?
and I assume you login via quicken to vanguard to import the data, to live locally on your computer?
there is a lot that can not be understood natively with how brokerage accounts are setup now.
it's got me thinking of maybe migrating some of them to Fidelity, if it is any better, and wouldn't create even more chaos.??
It is all local on my computer. I used to download investment transactions. But, at some point, for reasons I cannot remember, I stopped doing that and enter all transactions by hand.
Briefly, in Quicken I treat each different Vanguard investment as a separate account. I also have a separately named security that parallels those accounts.
Therefore, if I have two VUSXX investments, one in an IRA and another in a SIMPLE IRA, they are two different accounts and securities. This allows me to see in Quicken the exact same investment balance as Vanguard provides to me.
It was hours of laborious work yesterday to make all the transfers between accounts in Quicken to match what Vanguard did. Did not finish because each time I tried to create a new Security for a new account ... it was not showing up on the Security list.
Hope to get back to it later today and somehow solve that problem.
