Dividends being recorded in two portfolios

[janfl133]

I own the same mutual fund in two portfolios. Dividends are received monthly. Each month, the dividends from one portfolio appear in both portfolios, while the other portfolio shows only the correct dividend. I have checked all the information I can think of and each seems distinct.

Can you please help me figure this out?

Hi janfl133,

How are the dividends being recorded? Are you retrieving transactions from your broker?

[janfl133]

Yes. Both portfolios are with the same broker.

Hi janfl133,

Do you have each lowest level account sub-portfolio set to retrieve, and not any higher level sub-portfolio? For example, if you have something like:

Code: Select all

- Broker X
  - Account 1
  - Account 2

Make sure you have only the "Account" level sub-portfolios marked to retrieve transactions, and not also any higher level (Broker) sub-portfolio set to retrieve. It sounds like you may be double retrieving one of the accounts.
