Money market sweep transactions do not download QM2017

Lyn Buddenhagen

Using QM2017, v 4.4.3. I am downloading from Fidelity and from Merrill Lynch. In both cases the money market fund sweep transactions (buying MMF after cash is received, etc) do not download. The Fidelity MMF is a publicly traded fund; the Merrill Lynch ones are not - so that's not a factor. The monthly dividends, however, ARE downloaded. It really does sound like a Quicken problem and not the individual brokerages. Thanks.

WFA just introduced MM funds in their accounts. Thought it was going to be an issue but it downloaded correctly. Check for placeholders in the account transaction registers; they seem to be the issue most of the time.

In the case of Fidelity, they don't show the transfers in and out of the core account. That's just fine with me. The core account values are simply shown as cash in the account in Quicken. I know that this amount is actually invested in a core MMF, but I don't need to show it as a security owned in Quicken. Having it shown as cash value is fine, and reduces the number of transactions in the register. Since the share price of the core account is always $1, then $1 cash always equals 1 share of the MMF.

I will say, however, that I do occasionally receive a random buy or sell of the core account. Just once in a blue moon. Not sure why this happens, but I just delete those transactions when they do download.

That is how WFA. Had it until recently, now have mm tax free in the accounts seems to have gone well, no issues

WFA? Wi-Fi Alliance? Wanted For Arrest? Wilderness First Aid? Googling it did not help me understand your comment, sorry.

Even though I, technically, hold a cash position in a MMF in several of my accounts ... I have never understood the benefit of recording the security transactions in and out of such MMF.

Instead, I just reflect the cash as cash ... and everything works just fine.

Yes, it would be an okay workaround for almost everything. But, my Merrill Lynch CMA account is so antiquated that it only buys money market funds in whole dollars. It does help to have the money market balance and the cash balance separate. I suppose not the most important thing we want the Quicken people to work on.....thanks to all.
