How to track managed portfolio accounts

Moonflyer

I have several managed portfolio accounts n addition to some standard investment accounts. I do not need the detailed holdings of the portfolio accounts in Quicken. I would just like to be able to update the total account value for each account each month - market value, cost, unrealized gain/loss. That will allow me to have a running picture of my net worth.

Have you tried Simple tracking method? Instead of tracking the detailed transactions, this replaces the Transaction list (Register) with at 4-panel dashboard and uses Added and Removed transactions behind the scenes to make your holdings in Quicken match your downloaded holdings. The market value and asset allocation will be correct, but because the detailed transactions are no longer tracked, Quicken will lose track of your cost basis, dividends, interest, and capital gains.

To try this, click on the gear at the top right of the account, select Edit account details, then under Tracking method select Simple - Positions only.

Back up your data file first in case you do not like the results.
