Statistics on flattened accounts structure

I have many accounts, one per security that I own. And, I have an IRA and a Trust. These appear just like securities and have their own accounts. That's fine except the pie chart that displays how much is in stocks, bonds, cash, etc has a slice that shows a percent associated with the entire IRA, Trust, etc. I want a display that shows the numbers without regard for the account that holds them. Is there a way to do this?

I've been racking my brain trying to get a picture of what you are talking about, without much success.

What graph are you looking at and where are you seeing it? Is it an Asset Allocation graph?

How is the "slice that shows a percent associated with the entire IRA" labelled? How are the other slices in the pie labelled? I'm trying to understand what is different about the IRA slice.

Any particular reason you have one account per security?

Do your IRA and your Trust contain only one security, or multiple securities? What type of securities do your IRA and Trust contain?

Sorry about the brain, John.

Q2008D. Investing tab. Analysis tab. Show Accts: ALL The botton left pane is Allocation by Acct and has an entry for my IRA and another for my Trust in addition to entries for each stock in their own accounts.

First, I like it that way. Next, it makes looking at the history of the security much easier than sorting the transactions. And, it makes removing everything about a specific security easy. Archiving/Unarchiving is more convenient, too.

Multiple.

IRA has Vanguard High Yield fund and Total Stock Market Trust has 8 Vanguard funds. I have 6 individual, non-Vanguard securities that are titled as part of the Trust, but are in separate Quicken accounts.

So I'm looking for an allocation graph that forgets about what Quicken account each item is in and just tells me what percent is Large Cap Stocks, what percent is Bonds, ....

It needs much more assistance than it used to when I was younger. :)

Now were into the part that had me confused. The Allocation by Account graph could never provide this breakdown ... the premise of the graph is not compatible with your need.

I think you can look just above the Allocation by Account graph to the Asset Allocation graph.

I'm looking for an "Allocation by Assett Class" graph.

The Asset Allocation graph IS by asset class.

What class is "Vanguard IRA" or "Vanguard Trust"? How do I get Vanguard Total Stock Market which is held in at least two of these added together so I can see the total percent, not the individual pieces.

I'm back to being confused again.

I have never seen or heard of an "Asset Allocation" graph that had pie slices that were the names of accounts.

I have seen an "Allocation by Account" graph do that.

In the Investing Center, the Asset Allocation graph is just above the Allocation by Account graph. Two different graphs; two different purposes.

Asset classes are: Domestic Bonds, Large Cap Stocks, Small Cap Stocks, International Stocks, Other Asset Class, Cash, No Asset Class. Those are the only classes you should see in the Asset Allocation graph.

The class names are supplied by Value Line, and I'm sure they've never heard of the names of your accounts.

The Asset Class "mixture" for a given security only has those same seven classes available (to see the source of the breakdown for a given security, Edit the security in the Security List, click Define for Asset Class).

I can't see how the name of a security can appear anywhere as an asset class.

Have you tried the Investment Asset Allocation report/graph from the Quicken "Reports" menu? It should produce the same results as the Asset Allocation graph in the Investing Center (if you use the same selection criteria for each).

Aha. Yes that is what I am looking for. However, I need to check that the numbers are right. Definitely different from the other Asset Allo graph, however. Thanks.

You may have some data corruption. Or uncovered a new, bizarre, Quicken bug.
