In the Security List | Details there is a drop-down field "Type" where the security type is specified (stock, mutual fund, etc.). ETF is not one of the values in the list. What should the value of "Type" be for an ETF ?
Thanks,
zkaps

    Or you can use Mutual Fund -- in which case you'll be able to get the Morningstar risk, return, and ratings status for the security (if that is of any value to you).

    I can believe the X-Ray functions are Premier only.  I do not believe those features are dependent on security type. 

    I believe the Morningstar columns in portfolio views about which I was referring are available in Deluxe and above versions (Starter does not support investments).  Those columns will only display for securities with the type = Mutual Fund.

    Been a while since I used Deluxe, so I could be mistaken.

    The F in ETF stands for FUND.  Set it up as such.
