Investment Cash Account does not match statement, Split ContribX entries
Greetings! I’m trying to follow my investment accounts which are managed by an advisor. I have Quicken setup to download transactions from the LPL account site. The account balances/values according to Quicken are often whole percentages off from what the account statements are showing and at year end 2025 are way off.
Compared with the account statements, the Quicken portfolio value report:
--with the exception of (most frequently negative) “-Cash-”, identical ending share and value numbers for all securities.
--the investment bank account values accurately reflect the cash/bank amount in the statements. So, ignoring the Cash amount in the Quicken report would produce the same account values as the statements.
There are no placeholder entries and validate and super validate have been run. In Quicken, the portfolio bank accounts are set up as Type=Other and Asset Class=cash. This seemed to be the most accurate of the available options. But, maybe it’s wrong.
I understand that I can manually enter transactions that adjust the Quicken cash value to match the statements, but this seems like it should not be necessary for significant amounts.
Windows QuickenClassic Premier. Ver R65.29, No placeholders are in the accounts.
Something I discovered while working on this, which may be unrelated--The investment transaction reports show missing values in the cash column for some transfers from my checking account. See 7/14 vs. 8/14.
Oddly, the Total behaves as if they were there.
In the Investing Activity report, the entries is for the transaction values that don’t show (above) have “–Split--” as the category. See 7/14 vs. 8/14 below. This usually means a split transaction, but I don’t see any difference between the entries. I see no splits in the register entries and split does not look like an option for these transactions.
This may not be related to the Cash balance issue, but maybe. I appreciate you reading this and any assistance offered.
