Q2010 Asset Allocation downloads

Quicken 2010 downloaded asset allocation percentages for some of our mutual funds seem to be way out of sync with those numbers acquired from Morningstar, and also are at odds with common sense perceptions.

For example, the results from Quicken's One Step Update shows 94% Domestic bonds for T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund, whereas Morningstar shows 29% Foreign Corporate bonds and 66% Foreign Government bonds. The latter makes much more sense.

Anybody have an explanation?

Wow! I sure hope there's a good explanation here. I've been taught that appropriate asset allocation and scheduled portfolio rebalancing (on some set schedule like semi-annually come hell or high water) if far more important than individual Mutual Fund or Stock selections. If the raw information that I am trusting Q to have in their allocation downloads is suspect, that throws my work out the window - at least, in so much as I'll have to manually do the updates myself prior to rebalancing. Thanks for the post.

As far as I can see from the Intuit Live Community boards, investments downloading is currently broken in Quicken. Apparently it is especially problematic in mutual fund quotes though I don't know whether other downloads are affected.

I know I started seeing big discrepancies in numbers beginning on about April 20 and don't see anything fixed so far. I am not trusting Quicken's downloaded info right now.
