starting over new

[reddragon]

I have been using Fund Manager for quite some time about 8 years. I recently moved all my accounts over to Schwab institution and would like to start over pulling data from there. How do I proceed doing that and will I have to set up each individual account again?

Hi reddragon,

If you don't want the history before moving to Schwab, just use the New Portfolio Wizard for each of your accounts. Schwab is only going to have the history going back to the transfer of assets into Schwab. If you do want to keep history, then you can just change the account number and broker in the properties of the sub-portfolio for each account, and ignore the transfer transactions when they are retrieved.

Yes, you would need to run the New Portfolio Wizard for each account if you choose to start over.

Thanks, some of the accounts have been switched over to the institutional side from Schwab Retail. They have the same acct number but to get the data you have to do a data transfer on the institutional side now. I,m not sure how this is done in there a video on this?

Hi Jon,

If you already have your accounts in FM, I would suggest simply un-checking the "Transfer" transactions if they show up when you retrieve transactions. It doesn't sound like you would need to change anything else since you are still with the same broker and the account numbers haven't changed.

Hello is there instructions somewhere for using Schwab Data delivery on the institutional side?

Thanks Jon

Hi Jon,

See the documentation specific to Schwab Data Delivery, as well as an overview of the Institutional Import process.

Thanks, at this point I think this is over my head. It is much to time consuming and difficult for me as a one person shop to do this. Do you know of a way I can hire this out and pay someone to do this? Does Fund Manager have a service?

Hi Jon,

Sorry, this isn't a service we offer...
