Western Asset Bond Funds

Jim Shiffrin

Quicken seems to be unable to tell the difference between Western Asset Core Bond Fund I (WATFX) and Western Asset Core PLUS Bond Fund I (WACPX). I used to hold shares of both funds in a Morgan Stanley account, and the dividends were always assigned to the wrong fund. I had my Morgan Stanley wealth manager move all of the funds to the CORE PLUS Fund – and Quicken always assigns them to the CORE Fund.

I am running Quicken for Windows, currently on Version R50.15. This has been happening for quite a while - I finally sold the Core Fund in April 2022, transferring the money to the Core Plus Fund.
