Any hidden accounts?

I also have this issue. Been like this across multiple updates.

How does the "Market Value" in QM2017 compare to your actual brokerage account value? Are all your holdings for the account listed and properly valued? In other words, if the Market Value does not add up to the market values shown in the "Holdings By Type" list, is one or the other correct, or are both wrong?

2 things to look for:
1). Is there a "Cash Balance" at the bottom of the screen that is incorrect?
2). Is there a mutual fund that is showing an incorrect value (for example, the one used as the cash account)?

Both of these are true for my Vanguard accounts, resulting in the Market Value being way off from the true account value and mostly useless for me. Has been like this across multiple updates for me as well.

Is there a way to change the incorrect market values. Vanguard short term Bond index, market value is off by factor of 100 in imports into Mac Q17 and Q 18...can this be corrected? The asset allocation was misinterpreted when imported from Quicken 2007.

My Cash Balance is way high on Quicken vs My Fidelity account. Has been for over a year. How do we fix it ?

Depends on why it is high. If there is a large Cash Balance at the bottom of of the account's Portfolio view see below. Otherwise, have you checked for Placeholder transactions at the beginning of the Transactions view? Do your holdings, including price and number of shares, match with your Fidelity account?

I have had recurring problems with the Cash Balance at the bottom of the account view. I don't have Fidelity, but for Vanguard Cash Balance should be zero unless there are unsettled transactions, in which case it should return to zero when there are no unsettled transactions. For TDA it is the cash in the money market account. I've had an occasional problem where the Cash Balance becomes increasingly positive (or sometimes negative) for reasons I've not always been able to find. In this case, after looking for the source, I eventual give up and make an account adjustment to bring the Cash Balance back to zero.

If none of this works you can also try a search for this topic in the Mac part of the forum. It has been discussed a number of times.

The market value was off, but this was because the asset was miscoded in Q2007. Using Edit I created a new Assest = Index in Q2007, then reimported. Now the indices correctly import...except one a Stock price quote which is listed as today's current quote, when the market is not yet closed.

I did not wish to have downloaded market quotes and did not select this option. Can this be turned off. I also DO NOT WANT a cloud account...

Thanks, Very useful...The latter option button was the culprit.
