Investment Account

Rick Harbrecht

I recently added 2 new accounts. When the download from Fidelity into the accounts came it was incomplete. I was able to enter almost all of the data back except one part relating to data that was transferred to the other account. Since the data was already in the other account, I couldn't manually enter the transfer data. I thought i could just add the data but because the data were credits it would not allow it. In trying some other things i got a message that a place holder was already there, and my entry would not change my share balance which needed changing as well as the price of the stock. So, my question is how do I fix this?

First time downloads typically only go back 30-90 days, depending upon the financial institution.

But I don't understand what you mean by "it would not allow it". Why not? If a particular transfer was already in the receiving account, it should have created a duplicate, at worst.

Perhaps, was the receiving account set up as a "Single Mutual Fund" account, rather than a brokerage account?
Unlike some firms, Fidelity doesn't require the use of SMF accounts … in which you can only hold that one, initial fund EVER.
