Asset Allocation across all accounts

Cindi Anderson

Am I missing something? All the Asset Allocation reports only include certain types of accounts deemed by Quicken to be "investment" accounts. Why can't I include all my accounts in Asset Allocation? Just because part of my cash is in a HYSA doesn't mean I don't want it to show up in my Asset Allocation. Likewise, real estate should also be part of my AA.

Is there a way around this? Seems dumb I have this whole program and have to transfer to Excel to make a real Asset Allocation report.

Change the Account Details → Display Options → Account intent, to either Investment or Retirement and Quicken will allow you to include them in your Asset Allocations.

If you want to include the some of your banking accounts in the Cash section of the Investing > Asset Allocation report, you can do the following:

Click on the gear at the top right of the account and select Edit account details
On the Display Options tab, under Account Intent select Investment

This will move the account to the Investing section of the Accounts bar on the left side of your screen and also include it among the investing accounts in some other places in Quicken, including the Asset Allocation report. This does not work everywhere. It does weird things in the Investment Performance Report, creating a lot of blank lines when the report is in Detail mode and subtotaled by account. Also it does not include the banking accounts in the Investing > Portfolio views. You would have to experiment to see what it does elsewhere.

Because the behavior is inconsistent, I would recommend that you change the intent of the banking accounts back to Spending or Savings when you are done.

Did that but for most of the reports they still don't show up if they are "banking" or "property"

Yes, I tried that for my larger cash accounts and it does move it on the accounts bar. At least that is helpful. It's not a report, but it's a quick total. But many of the reports don't show it in the list of possible accounts to add. The reports seem to filter out banking and property accounts first.

Is there any report that shows your entire asset allocation?

@Cindi Anderson the HYSA and Real Estate are not securities, so they show up in allocation reports as -Cash-, but they should be included if the account intent is set to Investment or Retirement. The issue is that Quicken combines everything that is not a security into one lump sum under -Cash-, on the allocation reports. The -Cash- is easy to miss because it is at the very bottom of any allocation report, and the total would not be easily matched to any amount in your accounts.

Is there any report that shows your entire asset allocation?

@Cindi Anderson I guess that depends on what you mean by "entire." If you set a banking or asset account's Intent to Investment or Retirement, its balance will be included as part of the Cash in the Investing > Investment Asset Allocation report. Is that sufficient?

If you would like to see something more, please explain.

To my understanding, Asset Allocation reports are for investment accounts and are not intended to be inclusive of all assets and liabilities accounts.

The Net Worth and Account Balances reports provide an overall distribution of assets and liability accounts. While these reports will show the total values of each account and by each type of account, they will not break out the investment accounts allocations by security type. Does either one of these provide you with the information you are looking for?
