Separate Mutual Funds

Bob Sarley

I have similar mutual funds in separate brokerage accounts, the have different names and different symbols, but when I change one, it also changes the other.

For example: One holding is PIMCO Stocks with a symbol PISIX that closed at $7.91. The other one in a different account is PIMCO DVRSFD with a symbol of PDIIX that closed at $9.00. If I manually change the name, symbol, or closing price in one account manually, Quicken also makes the same change in the other account. Thus, if the value of the holding in one account is made right, the other account has a wrong value. I have not been able able to figure out how to separate them, so each can be adjust to their correct account values. I hope this is clear so I can given a solution.

Open the Security Details view for both securities and take a look at their CUSIP numbers. Edit Security Details > Other info. If the number are the same that could be the link between the two.

If that turns out to be the case, unclick "Matched with online security" for both. With the next download you should be able to correctly associate each holding to its correct "real world" security.

Putting some words in your mouth —

You have two (or more) real world accounts with different funds PISIX and PDIIX as examples. In Quicken, these are always treated as the same funds. "If I manually change the name, symbol, or closing price in one account manually, Quicken also makes the same change in the other account."

You cannot 'within an account' change a security name, symbol, or closing price. You can change the security name for a transaction, but I don't think that is what you are talking about. Changing a symbol is only through editing Security Details and that is what I think you are describing. That has me wondering if you really have two separate securities (per your example).

If you access the Security List (Ctrl-Y), do you have separate securities listed for the PIMCO Stock fund PISIX and the PIMCO Diversified fund PDIIX? If not, I suggest you create that second security with its unique name and symbol. (Add Security at the bottom of the Security List.)
