I am trying to figure out how (in Quicken Deluxe 2005) to manually update the share prices for stock funds that are not traded publicly.
I have invested in three stock funds through the financial advisor at my bank. I believe the term for them is UTF. These funds have no tickers I can look up, though they do have Cusip numbers.
Although I have the ability to manually log onto the Web page for these funds and, at any time, get the share prices and account balances, I cannot set up automatic download into Quicken. This financial institution does not appear in the list when setting up the account. So Quicken's instructions are to download the first time on the financial institution's Web page (such as by pressing a "Download to Quicken" button). However, there is no such ability on the Web page. The financial institution claims you can monitor the funds in Quicken and their instructions are to set this up in Quicken. Mr Rock, meet Mr Hard Place.
So the only viable alternative I can see is setting up the funds as mutual funds in Quicken without an online-capable financial institution (I have done this part) and then periodically manually updating the share prices. It is this latter that I have not been able to figure out how to do.
I have looked in the Quicken online help. I have looked in the book /Quicken
2005: The Official Guide/, by Maria Langer. And I have looked in the book /Quicken 2005 for Dummies/, by Stephen L. Nelson. No help yet.Any suggestions from you eminent and learned Quicken experts out there?
