Why do stock holdings asset class sometimes change to "unclassified"?

Question

I maintain an asset allocation report.  On occasion after a one step update a stock will change from a defined asset class, e.g., large cap,  to an unclassified asset class.  This occurred with Pfizer on 10/7/2020 and on others on numerous occasions.    Running version R29.16 on Windows 10.

Thanks Jim.  I think this is the best approach.

Alternatively, you can un-check that box and specify the asset class yourself. That's what I do.

Agreed.  At times, it makes the asset classes not useful, particularly (for me) when the MF asset allocation percentages go off-track.  Currently my asset data looks very good though.

Specific to Pfizer PFE, I get it downloaded as a Large Cap Stock as of this morning (10/07).  You might try another update, and make sure editing Security Details includes the Download Asset Class info checkbox.
