Limited Asset Classes & Goals! Lack of Customization.

bmarin

30years of being a user with all financial data in Quicken I wish I could customize my investment goals and asset classes for portfolio rebalancing. Quicken limitations with asset classes are a joke. No mid cap, emerging markets, high yield bond, etc! I was preparing to turn off all downloading of asset classes and manually create/assign them % when I tried to create an asset class “Mid Cap Stocks”. I got an error saying it was already assigned in Quicken but I couldn’t find it anywhere to select and I know I didn’t create the asset class. It looks like they were going to have that class at some point but decided not?

I’m going to just export my data from a custom report and build a spreadsheet so I can analyze my portfolio holdings and compare to my goals.

If you have Premier or H&B, you may find the Investing > Portfolio X-Ray useful. For your publicly traded securities (not special 401(k) securities for example) it will show

Overall asset allocation
Breakdown by world region
Stock breakdown by sector
Breakdown by Morningstar Stock and bond style boxes
Other stock and bond stats
Stock Intersection, which looks your individual stocks and the top 50 holdings in each fund and ETF to show your overall percentage of each stock.

Unfortunately this is view-only and cannot currently be printed. This has been reported as a bug, but has not been fixed.

I tried this and got the same error. I changed it to Mid Cap Stock and it created that. So, yes it looks like they have created it somewhere internally, but not showing it on the list.

I think the biggest failing in this is that when they allowed for custom asset classes, they didn't complete the project and make the rebalancing part work with custom asset classes.

I too went to separate spreadsheet to handle this.

EDIT: Portfolio X-Ray doesn't cut it for "rebalancing", and frankly even if the one Quicken had "worked" it is pretty lame. Working in only percentages makes it a pain when trying actually do the rebalancing, which needs to be in "shares". But more to the point the X-Ray Portfolio doesn't know anything about some of my major securities, and as such isn't even useful for me in separating things out.
