zzz-Fidelity Updates

However, on a different EWC+ NetBenefit 457b account a monthly withdrawal yesterday was recorded as a series of simple cash withdrawals from the account. No fund / share sale details were downloaded. This resulted in an incorrect negative cash balance in the Quicken account and incorrect fund / share totals. I had to go to the Fidelity website and manually enter all the sale details into Quicken. VERY DISCOURAGING that this is still NOT WORKING after all this time.

ONGOING 10/2/25 Fidelity Net Benefits - not supporting Complete investing at the moment — Quicken

Here is link to Quicken Anja's post acknowledging Net Benefit not supporting Complete Investing. She says there is an open ticket for this problem.

Today only one out of five non-public funds in my 401(k) accounts failed to download yesterday's price with EWC+.

An update on my Fidelity transition:

I moved my accounts to EWC+ on Sep 20, 5 days before the then announced forced cutover. I wanted to do it on my terms, rather than face a no-way-to-go-back situation. I didn’t use a test file. I had a few minor problems (duplicate transactions, placeholders), but nothing earth-shattering, and they were easily corrected after going to backups a couple of times. Of course, as we all know, Quicken moved the forced date back with no new one specified, so … I transitioned early unnecessarily. So it goes.

I have 4 accounts:

1 – Brokerage 1 - self-directed, all holdings set to reinvest, 2 MMs – SPAXX and FZDXX.

2 – Brokerage 2 – FI managed, no reinvestments, 1 MM - FDRXX

3 – IRA 1 – self-directed, all holdings set to reinvest, 1 MM – FDRXX

4 – IRA 2 - self-directed (by spousal permission), all holdings set to reinvest, 1 MM – FDRXX

A few EOM and other transactions have come through this week. Here’s where they stand:

Acct 1 – 11 div/reinvest (incl FZDXX), 1 MM div (SPAXX), 1 buy. All txns downloaded and posted as they should have whether New in Quicken or pre-entered and matched. Quicken shows only the SPAXX holding as Cash (i.e., FZDXX is treated as a security). Fidelity site and Fidelity balance in Quicken show SPAXX+FZDXX as Cash. This is how its always been. So far, Securities and Cash numbers tie out.

Because there was not enough cash in SPAXX to cover the buy, I currently show a negative balance there in both Quicken and on the Fidelity Portfolio Positions page (Fidelity should automatically sell enough funds from FZDXX to cover the shortfall in SPAXX). In addition, the entire $ value of the purchase (not just the shortfall) has also been deducted from the Total Cash Balance in some places but not others. The Fidelity site shows different numbers in different places, so it’s a little hard to follow. The Portfolio Positions page displays it right; the Balances page doesn’t. I hope/expect this will all be resolved by tomorrow, or next Tuesday at the latest (Fidelity doesn’t send data on Mondays).

Acct 2 – 10 div (inc SPAXX), 2 buys, 1 sale. All txns downloaded and posted as they should have whether New or pre-entered and matched. Quicken and Fidelity (both in Quicken and on website) show FDRXX as Cash and all numbers tie out

Accts 3 & 4 – (Note: Neither IRA is a NetBenefits account) - 1 div/reinvest and 1 MM div (FDRXX) each – all came through normally. Quicken and Fidelity (both in Quicken and on website) correctly show FDRXX as Cash and all numbers tie out.

Fidelity Cash Representation numbers in Quicken in the brokerage accounts appear to be a day behind in updating. I suspect the same for the IRA accounts, but I haven’t seen enough to confirm that.

I’ve read that some foreign dividends/taxes/misc fees have not posted correctly. I’ve not had any come through yet, so I can’t comment on that.

Bottom line - my experience, SO FAR, is that EWC+ is working as it should. I’m cautiously optimistic that it will continue. I write this with the intent of letting those of you who are still struggling with this transition know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you for the detailed update. We are in the same camp.😊

That would be a good thing since NetBenefits regular 401(k) accounts (not BrokerageLink accounts) are not working well. They are acting like you've selected Simple investment tracking even if you use Complete tracking. @mrzookie has no problem with EWC+ because he has no NetBenefits accounts.

@EvDob

We agree! I wrote in my post "The Fidelity site shows different numbers in different places, so it’s a little hard to follow. The Portfolio Positions page displays it right; the Balances page doesn’t."

I tried resetting my 401k NetBenefits account this AM and yesterday's non-public traded fund prices still do not download. I will try again later :(

Just did my daily OSU and like others did not get yesterday's price updates for my non-public Fidelity funds in Fido Netbenefits. However I did get my California Muni Bond prices updated in my brokerage account.

My impression is that things often don't work right on EWC+ during the weekend.

I finally got my non-public NetBenefits 401k Friday prices updated at 2pm EST today.

Also when I changed a ReinvDiv to a Div transaction (trying to fix money market shares when not given the choice to represent as cash), the share amount remained increased by the same amount as in the former ReinvDiv. So you think you're fixing things, but they actually remain the same. Needed to delete the ReinvDiv and add a new Div.

Thanks for the update. Just got my non-public funds updated as well. 2:30pm PDT. On EWC+ since 9/18.

The transactions downloaded properly to the bottom area, not directly into the register. So, I could go through one by one and delete them.

Thank you both. I am a long-time user and have that set to not automatically add toninvestmenta transactions or banking.

I just saw a post from someone transitioning connection methods and I just wanted to verify this setting still took priority during the move.

Thanks
