Funds in a 401k account change names - how to reconcile

Nalgas

Hello

Every so often, my 401k provider, Vanguard, changes the name of the funds for some unknown but annoying reason. So what was called the "Pimpco Total Return" is now called "PTRAC" or something else.

So, after the download of transactions, I will be told that X shares of Pimpco Total return exist but none are in the account, and that X shares of PTRAC were reported but they are not in the account holdings.

How do I reconcile/point/rename/whatever it's called to tell Q that Pimpco Total Return is now PTRAC? Do I have to remove and add the shares, which is very tedious since this happens often?

Thank you
