Portfolio X-Ray do not match with regular Portfolio Allocation

patel

Hi. I am using Quicken Premier R19.52 for Windows. I am having an issue where under Investing, my Morningstar X-Ray tool displays a different Set of Asset Allocation while the regular Quicken Asset Allocation function show the correct allocation. All "Accounts" and "Securities" I choose are same in both place. It is apparent that the X-Ray tool is not displaying correct Asset allocation (e.g. Cash, US Stock, Non-US Stock, Bond etc.)


Has anyone encountered this issue? Please help.

The X-Ray analysis only includes publicly traded securities that are in Morningstar's database. Thus many special 401(k) funds, stable value funds, etc. are not included in tis analysis.

Also the X-Ray's asset allocations use Morningstar's asset class assignments, which are sometimes different from those downloaded with Quicken's quote data.

Could these differences explain what you are seeing?

Hi Jim: Thank you for your response. Yes, you are correct, I expect some variation as it relates to asset allocation / securities tickers but in my case there is a large variation. Cash balance should match which in my case do not. I spoke with Quicken and they have assured me that this will be taken care in next upgrade.

Try selecting one account or one security at a time to see if you can tell where the discrepancy is coming from.

Also look at the largest holdings at the bottom of the X-Ray to see if they match what you have selected.
