Change Total Value of an Offline investment account without individual securities

I am on Mac, running the latest Quicken. I have one investment account which does not have online access. I receive a paper statement each month. I would like to update the total value of the account each month. I could add a fake security with a $1 value and update the number of that security but there probably is a cleaner way to do it. How?

That's basically what I did with my 401K, although I tracked each fund inside the 401K for asset allocation purposes. I created several fake securities, each with a $1 value, and adjusted the number of shares of each every time I received a statement.
