I have purchased a USD-denominated ETN (Exchange-traded Note) in a UK pension account that I have. I don't see a way to buy the security from cash (GBP) in the same account and enter an FX transaction and then enter the security. Any ideas?
I'm using Quicken Premier for Windows
Version R29.20
Build 27.1.29.20
Any advice gratefully received!

    {Edit} On Only {/Edit} a single currency can be held in ANY Q account.  You'll need to set up a USD denominated account for that ETN.
