How do I fix errors in Portfolio view of Mutual funds
Ben12
On many of my American funds the Average Annual return for 1 year, 5 year and 10 year are identical in Investing/Portfolio/mutual funds. This clearly is an error. Any ideas on how to fix?

This a result of Quicken's Internal Rate of Return (IRR) calculation behind the Average Annual Return.
A few years ago the Portfolio views showed N/A if you did not hold the security at the start of the analysis period, but now it shows the result of the calculation, which is technically correct but may be confusing.

If you want to see the returns of your securities without regard to your transaction history, you should use the Return (%) columns, which use downloaded data and should match Morningstar's data for mutual funds.
Unfortunately this data is sometimes missing or out of date for stocks and ETFs.

Thanks, I suggest they use the numbers from Morningstar. I can alway request the IRR calculated from Quicken.

Works for some of the funds, thanks

Fidelity Contra Fund FCNTX has incomplete data in the Quote box of the Security Detail View. All it shows is the current date, current price & previous close. Everything else is N/A
