October 9, 2023 versions 2024.18.0:

  • Multiple Data Register windows can now be opened at the same time.  To open an additional Data Register window hold down the Shift or Ctrl keys while choosing any menu command that opens a Data Register (such as Edit / All Data...) or when double clicking on an investment in the Portfolio Editor.  An additional Data Register window can also be opened from the More >> button and then Open New Data Register....  Useful when you need to view investment data from 2 or more different investments at the same time, or when copying/pasting across investments.
  • Added the ability to automatically reconcile multiple accounts when retrieving from the broker/fund company.  See the new "Also Reconcile All Sub-Portfolios" option in the Reconciliation Wizard.  When this option is selected, all the sub-portfolios with transaction retrieval enabled under the currently selected sub-portfolio will be reconciled, one account at a time.  This new option makes reconciling multiple accounts much faster.
  • Added a new calculation option for the Income Schedule Graph/Reports to use the distribution per share values from last year to estimate income for the current year.  This new income calculation option is called "Historical Expected".  It's an easy way to get an estimate on your income when the items you hold don't change much from year to year, as you don't need to enter income properties for each investment to use this calculation method.  In graphs, see the "Income Schedule Graph Options" dialog, and in reports see the "Report Settings" dialog to choose the desired income calculation.
  • Rebalance report improvements.  When defining allocation targets you can now specify high/low limits in addition to a target.  Previously, only a target was available.  The Rebalance report can display how far you are over/under these limits, and/or to the target.  You can also now customize which fields are shown in the Rebalance report under "Options / Report Preferences... / Rebalance".  Fields to show actual, target, high, low, delta to target and delta above/below the high/low limits are all available in both percentage and value terms.
  • Added an "amount filter" to the Investment Transaction, Open Lots, and Capital Gains reports.  An optional minimum and/or maximum can be specified.
  • Added new Custom report fields:
    • Bond term: Number of years from the ending report date to the maturity date, weighted by face value for non-investments
    • Day count, up (between): Number of "up" days, where price/value increased
    • Day count, down (between): Number of "down" days, where price/value decreased
    • Day count, flat (between): Number of "flat" days, where price/value stayed the same
    • Open (end): Opening price on report's ending date
    • Open (beginning): Opening trading price on report's starting date
    • Reinvested distributions (current): Sum of all reinvested distributions by only the shares owned on the ending report date
    • Reinvested dist. per share (current): Sum of all per share reinvested distributions by only the shares owned on the ending report date
    • Total distributions (current): Sum of all distributions (all types, distributed and reinvested) received by only the shares owned on the ending report date
    • Total distributions per share (current): Sum of all per share distributions (all types, distributed and reinvested) received by only the shares owned on the ending report date
  • Added the ability to set a bond investment's "Face Value per Share" multiplier.  Previously this was always assumed to be 100.  See "Investment Properties... / Income / Face Value per Share".
  • Added "Face Value per Share" as a new optional column to the Bond Summary report.  Shows the new "Face Value per Share" property of bond investments.
  • Added "Bond Term" as a new optional column to the Bond Summary report.  Bond Term is the number of years until maturity, and for non-investment objects, like portfolios, it is a face value weighted average.
  • Added "Stooq" and "Stooq (Historical)" quote servers.  Lots of quotes and fast. See: https://stooq.com
  • Added the Custom Investment Properties as available fields to be inserted into graph legend text
  • Technical Analysis graph improvements to the display of candlesticks.  Added independent color control between the wicks, bodies, and body borders.  Also implemented a user-adjustable minimum pixel spacing between candle bodies (Options / Screen/Printer Pens...).  (Pro/Advisor only)
  • Added an option to confirm deletion before deleting any data from the Data Register.  See "Options / General Preferences... / Other / Prompt Before Deleting Prices/Transactions" to turn on/off.  This new option is on by default.
  • Added a new graph window option to float the starting date with the ending date.  Useful to keep a fixed time range in graphs as the end date moves forward due to newly recorded data.  Previously the graph starting date stayed fixed where it was set.  See: "Graphs / Options / Display... / Start Date Floats with End Date".
  • Added option to initialize the placement of dialog boxes either in the center of the screen, or in their last position.  Default is their last position.  See "Options / General Preferences... / Other / Dialogs Initialized to Last Position".
  • Added a new option to the Spin-Off wizard to control how the transferred cost basis is subtracted from the parent when there are multiple open lots at the time of the spin-off.  It can now be allocated proportionally to the original cost basis or evenly amongst the open shares.  See the online help for more information on this option.
  • Added a new optional statement source of "Generic Position File" when reconciling.  Allows reconciling against a custom CSV or text file, where you provide the format of the file upon reconciling using the same "Input Format" keys as from the generic transaction import command.  Output of any errors are logged to the new menu command "Help / Logs / Generic Position Import...".
  • Added keyboard shortcuts for controlling report dates.  Uses same keyboard shortcuts as graphs.  See "Help / Keyboard..." from within any report window for a list of available shortcuts.
  • Added keyboard shortcut modifiers for graph and report date/scale adjustments.  The modifiers allow scrolling/zooming to affect only the starting or ending dates.  See "Help / Keyboard..." for more details.
  • Added a new global match option in the Find dialog box.  Entering "*" (without the double quotes) in the search text will return all results.  Useful to list all sub-portfolios, investments, transactions, or notes.
  • Added separate transaction filters for Transfer In and Transfer Out to the Investment Transaction report.  Previously Purchases and Transfer Ins were filtered with the same option, but now they have separate controls.  Same for Redemptions and Transfer Outs.
  • Added a new option to control whether or not the "Price" field is initialized in the transaction dialogs when creating a new buy, sell, or reinvestment transaction.  When enabled, the "Price" field is initialized based off a recorded closing price on the selected transaction date.  See the new option at "General Preferences... / Other / Transaction Dialogs Initialize Price".  This option is off by default.  Previously the dialog boxes always initialized the price.
  • Improvements to the Bulk Reconciliation wizard.  The results list now includes columns for "Last Reconciled" date as well as "Hierarchy" of the sub-portfolio.  (Advisor only)
  • Added an option to specify subtotal text color in reports.  Previously the subtotals were always the same color as the text.  See "Options / Report Colors...".
  • Improved default setting for currency when creating a new investment.  Looks at other investments in the sub-portfolio as well as the default cash account to determine the best default for currency.  Previously the currency always defaulted to the default currency.
  • Text type custom investment properties are automatically hyperlinked in the Investment Properties dialog, so URLs can be easily opened
  • The description investment property is automatically hyperlinked in the Investment Properties dialog, so URLs can be easily opened
  • Added an option such that imported transactions for investments in the non-default currency can automatically be placed into separate sub-portfolio, by currency, underneath the account level sub-portfolio.  This can be useful when you want to use separate default cash accounts for each currency, or simply want to separate your investments by currency.  See the new option "Put Investments of Non-Default Currency in Separate Sub-Portfolios" in the "New Investments Options Dialog", which you access by pressing the "Options..." button next to "Create New Investment(s) as Needed" in any transaction or position import wizard.
  • When creating a new client, if the associated sub-portfolio is left selected as the top-level sub-portfolio (Master Portfolio) a warning prompt is issued asking for confirmation  (Advisor only)
  • Added a "View in Symbol List..." button to the General tab of the Investment Properties... dialog to quickly open up the Symbol List Dialog for this symbol.  (Advisor only)
  • Added a new field (BONDBAS) to the Generic transaction import for importing the "Day count basis" of a bond
  • The investment property "Update Price When Retrieving Transactions" defaults to off when creating new "cash" type investments, defaults to on for all other investment types.  Previously defaulted to on for all new investments.
  • When updating prices from a transaction retrieve, ignore prices with a blank CUSIP
  • When updating pricing from transaction retrieval, maintain any already recorded open, high, low, and volume data.  Previously this was being overwritten with 0's as the transaction retrieval does not offer this data.
  • Added the ability to rename the title of graph windows.  See "Window / Edit Window Title..." from within any Graph window.
  • Improved how a newly displayed investment/portfolio is initially displayed in an existing Data Register window.  When appropriate, based on the selection source, the Data Type choice will remain un-changed instead of always being reset to the preference under "Options / General Preferences... / Other / Initial "Data Type" in Data Register".  Previously, the Data Type would always be reset to this preference.
  • Improved error reporting on Generic transaction import, providing more specific information when the input format is invalid
  • Improved logging of management fee calculations to clarify when negative valued investments are encountered or investments that are marked as exempt from management fees are encountered  (Advisor only)
  • Updated the dialogs "Auto Update List - Blended Investments" and "Auto Update List" (Create Investments from Investments) to list alphabetically.  Previously was listing by order of creation time.  (Pro/Advisor only)

  • Improved the documentation on how moving averages are calculated in the Technical Analysis graph, as compared to elsewhere in the program.  The TA graph moving averages are specified in "periods", whereas other graph types and the Custom report use weeks (5 periods).  Documented the calculation methodology in each case for dealing with missing recorded prices.

  • Improvements when using the "Microsoft Print to PDF" printer, including defaulting the filename when doing batch printing

  • Added a new "Speed Mode" option to the Data Register for improved performance.  See "Options / General Preferences... / Data Register Display / Speed Mode".  When enabled, only the most recent 260 data points (approximately 1 year) are filled in when listing the "Prices" data type.  If there are more price data points to display, a "Show All Data" button will be displayed to allow you to display the full dataset.  Speed Mode only affects the "Prices" data type, all other data types always show the full dataset.

  • Added a new "Paste Special - Today" command to the Data Register.  Works like the regular Paste command, but pastes all the copied transactions to the current date instead of the original date.  Helpful when you always do the same transaction and are manually recording.
  • Increased the maximum shares/price digit display option to 8 digits.  Helpful for tracking cryptocurrency.  Previously the limit was 6.  See "Options / General Preferences... / Display" and "Options / Report Preferences... / General / Display".

    • Value native (ending)
  • Added new Custom Report fields to see the change in only price (ignoring distributions).  See the new fields:

  • Fixed bug where the cursor could sometimes not display in the Technical Analysis graph

November 5, 2019 versions 2020.16.2:

  • Updated the "Find" dialog so the starting input focus is on the search text box
  • When recording a corresponding default cash account entry and the cash is in a different currency than originating investment, the exchanged value to cash is rounded to the nearest 0.01 before being recorded.  Previously, no rounding was being performed, so small fractional shares of cash could be created.
  • Bug fix: Using "Collapse All" in the Portfolio Editor could leave the incorrect sub-portfolio shown in the list view
  • Bug fix: In the Graph window keyboard shortcuts and various commands were not working properly when the top investment was cash and cash investments were not being displayed
  • Bug fix: When requesting to graph a cash type investment from a report or the Portfolio Editor, the option to not display cash type investments is supposed to be turned off, but it wasn't working for all graph types

October 2, 2019 versions 2020.16.0:

  • Income Schedule Graph and Report can now display either "Expected" income or "Actual" income.  Expected income is that set under the "Income" tab of the "Investment Properties...".  Acutal income is from recorded Dividend and Interest Income distribution transactions.  Use the "Income Schedule Graph Options..." dialog to choose the type of income to graph.  See the new "Income From" choice in the Report Settings dialog to choose the reported income type.
  • New "Find" feature that can optionally search portfolios, investments, transactions, or investment notes.  Searches support wildcard characters.  Results list can contain any of these, and depending on the object, when you select it, it will open in the Portfolio Editor or Data Register.  See "Edit / Find..." from within any window, or use the new magnifying glass toolbar icon.
  • Added ability to edit before importing in the Preview Importing Transactions/Positions dialogs.  You can now edit the details (date, amounts, transaction type, etc) of any incoming transaction/position before finishing the import/retrieve.  Use the new Edit... button, double click on the transaction, or right mouse click and choose "Transaction Details..." to make an edit.
  • Added Distributions to the Monthly Performance report as performance metric choices.  You can view any specific type of distribution, all distributions, or Dividends + Interest Income.
  • Added Custom report fields for the number of winning and losing investments, and also the winning percentage.  Winning/losing is determined by a positive/negative OOP gain within the report's date range.
  • Added option to choose different toolbar button sizes.  See "Options / General Preferences... / Toolbar / Button Size".  Button sizes can be <Automatic>, Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, or Very Large.
  • Added support for high resolution (DPI) displays, so the display is always crips/clear for any resolution.  Previously the window could be scaled by Windows when the display scale was >100%, causing a blurred appearance.
  • Added new Seasonality report.  Displays relative performance of investments and portfolios for each month of the year.  Available in Professional and Advisor versions.
  • Added new Seasonality and Portfolio Seasonality graphs.  Displays relative performance of investments and portfolios by week, month, or quarter of the year.  Available in Professional and Advisor versions.
  • Added the choice of which cash account to use in the Buy/Sell and Distribution dialogs when using multiple currencies.  If the investment being edited is not in the default currency and there are multiple cash investments of differing currencies in the same sub-portfolio, you will be given the choice of which cash account to use.  You can also choose to not record a corresponding cash account entry.
  • User-defined Custom report fields can now be either "Number" or "Date" type fields.  Previously, all user-defined fields were always "Number" type fields.  Select the data type when defining the user-defined fields.
  • Added Investment Type (Investment_type) and Currency (Currency_N_D) as available fields when creating user-defined Custom report fields.  See online help for details on how to use these fields.
  • New Report display options to display all price and value type fields with their currency symbol.  Also added an option to display the percent sign in any percentage type number.  See "Report Preferences... / General" for the new options.
  • New Portfolio Editor display options to display all price and value type fields with their currency symbol.  Also added an option to display the percent sign in any percentage type number.  See "General Preferences... / Portfolio Editor Display" for the new options.
  • New Data Register display option to display all price and value type fields with their currency symbol.  See "General Preferences... / Data Register Display" for the new option.
  • Added new "Expand All" and "Collapse All" commands when right mouse clicking on a sub-portfolio in the Portfolio Editor tree view
  • Added Yield MTD, Yield QTD, and Yield YTD as available fields in the Portfolio Editor
  • Added the advanced internet retrieve investment properties to the available fields in the Portfolio Editor.  The new field "Alt HQS Symbol" displays any assigned alternate symbol to use with the historical quote server.  The "Retrieve Price" field will indicate if either the primary or historical quote servers are set to be skipped.
  • Updated the "Currency" field in the Portfolio Editor to display both the native (assigned) currency, as well as the displayed currency.  Displays as: N (D).  Works the same as the "Currency" field in a Custom report now.
  • Added a Custom report field "Average Value (between)" to get the daily average value between start/end dates inclusive (ignoring weekends).  This field is also available for insertion in the Invoice report.
  • Hidden sub-portfolios are displayed as gray folders in the Portfolio Editor when they are being displayed
  • The size and position of the Preview Importing Transaction, Position, Reconcile, and Bulk Reconcile wizard dialogs is remembered.  Each time you open one of these wizards they are initialized to the size/position where you last left them.
  • Added ability to use a longer symbol for certain quote servers which require long symbols.  Previous limit was 49 characters.  The new limit is 97 characters, which can be accomplished by using the "Description" property of an investment, and beginning the description with a "+" character.  In this case, the rest of the description will be appended to the symbol used when requesting a price.  Useful for certain quote servers that require very long symbols, such as Fund Library (Canadian Mutuals) and Boerse Stuttgart.
  • Added <cusip> and <desc> as optional merge fields for use in the Web News URL.  Used to optionally insert the CUSIP and Description properties of an investment into the Web News URL.  See "Options / General Preferences... / Menus / Web News URL".
  • Added Executive Summary report option to control the display of the Portfolio Performance Section.  Choose to not display it, show ROI Yield, Time-Weighted Return, or both ROI and TWR.  Previously it was always ROI Yield.
  • Added a new graph option "Graphs / Options / Display... / Prefer to Open Graphs in New Window".  When enabled, any graph type selected while not in an existing Graph window will be opened in a new graph window.  When this option is left off, any selected graph type will be shown in an existing graph window first, before opening a new window.  Option is defaulted to off, so functionality remains as it was previously.
  • Added new fields to the Open Lots report to enable showing opening price and price gain both with and without commission fees.  The new fields are "Open Price+C" and "Price Gain+C".  See "Options / Report Preferences... / Open Lots".
  • Added several new graph window keyboard shortcuts: set the graph date range to any number of years/month to date (Ctrl/Shift + <number>), create new graph window (F12), toggle on/off cursor labels (Ctrl+Shift+L), toggle on/off right Y axis labels (z), increase/decrease Y axis label density (:/;)
  • Improved setting the date range for a historical price retrieve.  Default "From" date is set to the date of the last recorded closing price in the investments being retrieved, or date of last price retrieve, whichever is earlier.  Previously it always defaulted to the date of the last price retrieve.  Also added a new "l" keyboard shortcut which changes the date to the earliest Last recorded price within all the investments being retrieved.  See the online help for more details.
  • Added new keyboard shortcuts for date controls to move forward or backward 1 week.  "w" moves back 1 Week, and "k" moves forward 1 weeK.
  • Made the Portfolio Properties dialog box resizable
  • Added support for institutional "Interactive Brokers (Generic)" interface.  This is the newer recommended interface for Advisors using Interactive Brokers.  The prior IB interface is still in place, but renamed "Interactive Brokers (PC)".  Advisors can use either interface.
  • Changed supported Windows versions to Windows 7 or later (Windows 7, 8, and 10).  No longer support XP or Vista.
  • Improved the price retrieve log.  When a symbol fails to retrieve the warning now includes the name of the investment, the location in the sub-portfolio hierarchy, and if it was using the alternate symbol for historical quote servers. Helps make it easier to find problematic internet retrieve settings.
  • Made the category lists in Investment Properties, Allocation Target, and Symbol List dialogs sortable.  You can sort by category or percentage by clicking on the column header.
  • Changed the "Description" custom report field to display the "Memo" field of sub-portfolios and the "Description" field of investments.  Previously only investment descriptions were shown, and the Description field was blank for sub-portfolios.
  • In the Reconciliation wizard, added "Copy "Difference"" to the right mouse menu.  Copies the number of shares in the "Difference" column of the selected investment to the clipboard.  Helps when manually adding a transaction to correct the share balance.
  • When changing the hidden property of a sub-portfolio, a choice is presented to also change all items (both investments and sub-portfolios) within that sub-portfolio to the new hidden state
  • Added special OFX check for interest earned in a Fidelity account, where Fidelity reports interest earned on a cash account as an investment banking deposit.  If memo matches "INTEREST EARNED" we treat this as a reinvested interest income instead of a purchase.
  • Moved menu commands for instituitional interfaces no longer available underneath a new "Legacy" menu.  Commands are still available for importing old data files, but not on top level "Import" menus anymore.  Moved BrokersXpress, Rydex, Scottrade, and Southwest Securities.
  • Updated the sort column in all list views to use more modern and easier to see sort arrow
  • Improved Print Preview so the toolbar doesn't flash when paging through multiple page print preview
  • Improved recalling font sizes between cases where display scale changes.  Switching computers, changing display scale, or opening sample portfolios could cause font sizes to be different than when saved.  Now the correct point size is always used, no matter the user's DPI setting.
  • Added support for additional transaction codes with the Pershing institutional data interface
  • Changed method for determining an investment's default cash account when the investment's immediate containing sub-portfolio does not have a default cash account assigned.  The new method performs a search up the sub-portfolio hierarchy starting from the immediate containing sub-portfolio for a sub-portfolio with an assigned default cash account.  Previously it was using the earliest defined sub-portfolio instead of the lowest in the sub-portfolio hierarchy.
  • Changed the new investment default transaction entry preference to "commission fees" for all the user-defined investment types.  Was previously set to "no fees".
  • Output interpolation range settings to log files where these values are used, like yield and statistic calculation logs
  • Improved quoted-printable importing from vcard files for the client list
  • Improved error message and instructions when failing to restore from a backup made with portable/cloud mode enabled
  • Improved yield calculation algorithm to be more robust at finding solutions when yield is very small or very large
  • Fixed issue where keyboard shortcuts would not work in Report windows while cursor was over a data line
  • Fixed several cases where focus could be switched back to a parent dialog from a child, before completing child dialog.  Example case was bringing up the "Filter..." dialog from within Report Settings.
  • Fixed bug where keyboard scrolling the dates of a graph the dates could become "stuck" on a certain date
  • Fixed bug where the requested transaction to view in the Data Register would not always be scrolled into view
  • Fixed bug where importing generic prices could crash under certain conditions
  • Fixed bug where user could be prompted to save data on exit when no data had been changed.  Problem could occur when using the password protection feature.
  • Fixed a bug where the Portfolio Value column in an Investment Transaction report could sometimes display an incorrect value when sub-totals were turned on
  • Increased resolution of yield calculations when percentages are being displayed to a greater number of significant digits.  Previously the calculation was always done to 0.001%, which could lead to a rounding error when displaying percentages to 3 or more digits.
  • Fixed bug where sorting the client list by the Portfolio column was not always working properly
  • Fixed bug where editing portfolio properties from within a report could sometimes cause the report portfolio label to be displayed incorrectly
  • Fixed bug where some menu commands would not work on the correct investment when in an investment based Graph window and the investment on top of the stack order was a cash investment, and graphs were set to not display cash investments

April 27, 2019 versions 2018.15.5:

  • Fixed bug where the preference for initial data type in the Data Register would get changed to Prices after opening the Data Register from the "View..." button in the alert popup dialog
  • Fixed bug where the tax fields in a Custom report could be incorrectly multiplied by however many instances were in your top level sub-portfolio, causing errors when you have the same investment file opened multiple times, or in link subs
  • Improved turning on portable mode for Advisor version with a client list.  Previously if the portable location had a client list, the client list from non-portable mode would not be transferred.  Changed it to always transfer client list to portable location when turning on portable mode.

October 19, 2018 versions 2018.15.4:

  • Fixed issue where some commands would not be considered "working" to prevent automatic price retrieval while working
  • In the "Report Settings... / Benchmark" dialog if you changed the benchmark investment and hit Apply, when you closed the dialog it would again un-necessarily recalculate the report data
  • Updated Yahoo (Historical) as dividends are no longer being reported in split adjusted values by this server

March 28, 2018 versions 2018.15.3:

  • Fixed bug where a memorized report could sometimes not be recalled when you have over 50 reports memorized
  • Fixed display issue in the Specify Lots dialog where very small fractional shares could sometimes be displayed, when they should be rounded to a lower precision.
  • Fixed bug where if you edited data in the Data Register while a report was calculating the program could crash
  • When scrolling by month/year in a graph the end dates stay locked on the beginning/end of the month if you start there.  Previously, due to not displaying weekends and months having different end dates, the end points of the graph could "creep in" with successive scrolling.
  • Using keyboard shortcuts to adjust date in a graph where the active portfolio has no investments could cause the program to crash
  • Changed "Auto Update List" for "Create Investment from Investments" command to display more clearly.  List view only lists destination investment, and is formatted based on user display preference.  Selected destination shows source/operator details beneath list.
  • Made "Filename" and "In Portfolio" vertically scrollable in the "Investment Properties... / Statistics" dialog.  Helps in viewing very long data strings.

January 2, 2018 versions 2018.15.2:

  • Improved canceling of transaction or position retrieval.  Pressing cancel once does a "soft" cancel, where the current brokerage retrieve completes, and any remaining brokerages are cancelled.  Pressing cancel a second time does a "medium" cancel, where the current retrieve aborts after the immediate network action.  Pressing cancel a third time forces a "hard" cancel where the immediate network action is terminated.
  • Fixed bug where it was possible to crash when canceling a transaction or position retrieval
  • Increased share resolution displayed in Specify Lots dialog when necessary based on the recorded data.  Allows specifying full precision of owned shares to avoid accumulating rounding errors between purchased shares and specified shares.  Previously it was possible (especially when odd ratio split transactions were recorded) to get in a situation where the accumulation of un-specified shares could accumulate to the point where it wasn't possible to specify all sold shares.
  • Fixed bug where "Unused" column in the Specify Lots dialog was not auto-updating as shares were specified
  • Fixed bug where program could crash when opening a portfolio
  • Fixed % Change graph legend fields to take absolute value of denominator, before calculating a percentage change.  Increases were previously reporting as negative if the plotted value was negative.
  • Fixed bug where all enabled investments with the same symbol, regardless of their assigned quote server, were being updated by a price retrieve.  Changed this to only update prices of enabled/matching symbol investments if they are also using the same quote server.  Previously if different quote servers used the same symbol for different securities the prices would get incorrectly updated.
  • Fixed bug where calculation for blended investments due to a source price being updated could sometimes re-calculate for the whole date range, instead of just where prices were updated.  This could cause the initial starting point to change.

November 9, 2017 versions 2018.15.1:

  • Updated the Yahoo quote servers to be fast again
  • Added "CNN Money", "Google" and "Google - US (Historical)" quote servers
  • Added support for Google (Historical) to retrieve as much history as is available in a single retrieve.  Previously this server was limited to 200 days per retrieve.
  • Made it easier to change price retrieve settings in bulk for many investments.  Added new "Apply Settings to Existing Investments" button in the "New Investment Price Retrieve Defaults" dialog.  See "Options / Internet Settings... / New Investment Defaults".
  • Added a link to "Instructions on Using Each Server" in the "Options / Internet Settings..." and "Investment Properties... / Internet Retrieve" dialogs which takes you to the website where each quote server is documented
  • Added a "Font..." button in "Cover Letter Options..." dialog
  • Improved error message box when price retrieve failed for a symbol that is only white space. Now displays <blank symbol> instead of just white space to make it more clear.
  • The "About" dialog displays prior license name/serial if there was one, and if the current program is not licensed.  The old license name is an active link to the upgrade order form. Makes it easier to upgrade to the current version.  Previously the old license name was not shown, so it could be difficult to remember license name and serial number when ordering an upgrade.
  • Added advanced internet connection option to skip any proxy servers assigned in Windows. See "Options / Internet Settings... / Advanced Options... / Bypass any Proxy Server".
  • Fixed bug where logo could be cropped in the Executive Summary report
  • Fixed display issue in Data Register for Share Balance and Market Value when they were displayed for a future date
  • Corrected import from Schwab institutional for foreign tax paid transactions to show the money being paid, and not received

October 14, 2017 versions 2018.15.0:

  • New Client Statement Service: Adds support for securely sharing statements with your clients in the Client Portal.  Integrated with existing Batch Print and Mobile/Web Access features, so clients can see their current holdings, and statements through the Client Portal.  See the Client Statement Service YouTube tutorial.  (Advisor version only)
  • Added ability to print the Portfolio Editor list view contents.  Can print either in the same format as display or a "simple" text-only print style. See "File / Print..." from within the Portfolio Editor window.
  • New option to display hidden investments in reports if they have activity within the report date range.  See "Options / Report Preferences... / General / Investment Display / Display Hidden Investments with Activity".  Previously, hidden investments would never be displayed if "View / Hidden Investments/Portfolios" was off, leading to confusion when hidden investments had non-zero values.  This new option causes any investment marked as hidden to be displayed if there were shares owned or transactions recorded within the report's date range(s).  Default value of this new option is ON.
  • Added a new option to automatically un-hide a hidden investment whenever a share based transaction (buy, sell, or transfer) is added/edited/deleted.  See "Options / General Preferences... / Other / Automatically Un-Hide Investments With New Transactions".  This new option is on by default. Helps to display previously owned/sold investments if you re-buy them.
  • Added optional "Cursor Labels".  When moving the cursor around on a graph floating labels showing the cursor's position are shown along the X and Y axis.  Makes it easier to read the exact location of your cursor.  Toggle on/off at "Graphs / Options / Cursor / Show Labels".
  • Display a right hand side % scale on all graph types where it makes sense.  Previously only available in the Price + Dist. graph.  Right Y axis labels can be turned on or off using the option at "Graphs / Options / Display / Display % Along Right Y Axis".
  • Added several new graph legend fields:
    • [[NOEXTRA]]: Prevents any extra text from being placed in the legend, besides what is specified by the user.  Some graph types display extra information by default (like moving average values).  Inserting this field will prevent any extra text from being displayed.
    • [[PARENTPORT]]: Investment's immediate parent sub-portfolio
    • [[PARENTACCT]]: Account number of investment's immediate parent sub-portfolio
    • [[GRAPHVALCHANGE]]: Change in plotted data point between beginning and ending graph dates, inclusive
    • [[GRAPHVALPERCCHANGE]]: Percentage change in plotted data point between beginning and ending graph dates, inclusive
  • New options for controlling price retrieve.  Each investment can now optionally override the symbol to use when retrieving from the historical quote server.  This allows you to have separate symbols for the primary and historical quote servers.  New options to disable retrieving from only the primary or only historical quote servers.  See "Investment Properties... / Internet Retrieve / Advanced Options...".
  • Added ability to "retrieve" prices from a user-specified file.  Useful when you have a 3rd party quote provider to update prices without doing an import.  To use this server, see the new quote server called "<local file>" and press the "Local File..." button in the "Options / Internet Settings..." dialog to specify the location of this file.  Press "Help..." in that dialog for details on the required file format.
  • Added support for new quote server "Coin Market Cap" for cryptocurrency quotes
  • Data can now be copied in tab delimited text format from the Portfolio Editor to the clipboard.  Using "Edit / Copy" now also places a text version of the data from the list view onto the clipboard.
  • New Custom report fields to break down both realized and unrealized gains by holding period.  You can now calculate in a Custom report the total realized or unrealized gains, as well as the amounts for each holding period (short, medium, or long term).  New custom report fields:
    • Tax basis unrealized gain LT, Assigned Method
    • Tax basis unrealized gain MT, Assigned Method
    • Tax basis unrealized gain ST, Assigned Method
    • Tax basis realized gain LT, Assigned Method (between)
    • Tax basis realized gain MT, Assigned Method (between)
    • Tax basis realized gain ST, Assigned Method (between)
  • New Custom report fields to show the percentage of the parent object.  The percentage is of the immediate parent, not necessarily the total portfolio value for the report.  Especially useful for sub-portfolio hierarchy.  See:
    • Percentage of parent object (beginning)
    • Percentage of parent object (ending)
  • Added option to print a customizable Cover Letter in the Batch Print/Email feature.  The cover letter can include up to 3 customizable pages (cover, table of contents, and comments pages).
  • Added a new "Allocation Target" property to sub-portfolios.  Used when batch printing a Rebalance Report, so each client can automatically utilize different allocation targets.  Also used to set default allocation target when creating any new Rebalance report.
  • Executive Summary report can now optionally display a portfolio based graph.  A new "Portfolio Value Bar Chart" is the default, and displays a bar chart of the portfolio value for the last 12 months.  Any portfolio based graph can be displayed, including the portfolio/investment overlay graphs which will overlay your portfolio with the indices selected for this report.  See the "Options..." button when creating an Executive Summary report.
  • Executive Summary report improvements.  Option to display either 5 or 10 pie slices has been added.  Previously it was always limited to 5.  New report option "Display Removed Money as Negative Value" so that values in the Portfolio Activity Summary section that reduce the ending value (e.g. Withdrawals) are shown as negative numbers.  Previously withdrawals were shown as a positive number.
  • Improved the "Create Investment from Investments" command.  Optionally automatically update the destination investment in the future as the prices for either source investment get updated.  See the new "Update Destination When Sources Update" command in this dialog.  Also, see the new "Auto Update List..." button for a listing of all the automatic updates.  You can stop an automatic update by removing it from the list here.  Updates are now always done using the native currency prices (not exchanged).  Previously the command would use the prices in whatever state they were being displayed at the time. Now it always uses the native currency prices.  When creating a new investment for the destination you are no longer prompted with the New Investment dialog, it just creates the investment automatically.
  • Added a new "Create Blended Investment" command.  Combine multiple investments by percentage to create a new blended investment.  Useful for creating a custom benchmark/index.  Blended investments are automatically updated as their sources change.
  • Built with updated/latest development platform/tools for improved code speed and security
  • Alert popup dialog improvement.  Click on the new "View..." button or double click the alert in the list view to open alerting investment in the Data Register.
  • On automatic mobile/web uploads, only perform the update if there were any changes
  • Added ability to view currently recorded transactions with the Data Register while previewing importing transactions.  Right mouse click on any transaction in the "Preview Importing Transactions" dialog and choose "Edit All Data...".
  • Added option to control what sub-portfolio is used when recalling a memorized report.  Choose between the sub-portfolio at time of memorization, or the current/active sub-portfolio when recalling.  See "Options / Report Preferences... / Other / Memorized Reports / Recall Using Sub-Portfolio:".  Default is to use the sub-portfolio at time of memorization, which is how prior versions worked.
  • Added graph display options to control Y axis auto-scaling.  Can now independently specify whether or not to include buy/sell markers, alert markers, trendlines, or secondary lines like moving averages in the determination of the min/max display range.  See "Graphs / Options / Display / Y Axis Autoscale:".
  • Added a "Gain" field to the Open Lots report, that is (Value + Distributions - Open Value) to be consistent with the %Gain.  Previously only had a Value Gain, but it does not include Distributions.
  • Added "Model Portfolio", "Bill To Account", "Management Fee Method", and "Allocation Target" as available columns to display in the Portfolio Editor list view (Advisor only)
  • Added "Accrued Interest" as an available column to display in the Portfolio Editor list view
  • Improved error messages related to price retrieval.  New option to control the verbosity of warnings at "Options / Internet Settings... / Advanced Options... / Warning Level on Retrieve Failure".  Can set the warning level to show no warnings, only display when all from a particular server fail, or when any requested symbol fails.  Default is now any symbol.  Previously a warning was only issued upon all from a given server failing.  Error message is improved to display failing symbol/server combinations.
  • Made it easier to view log files by adding "Help / Logs" popup menu that lists all available log files.  Log files are available for report/graph calculations, price/transaction/asset/sector retrieval, activated alerts, ROI/TWR yield calculations, and a log of any skipped transactions during an institutional transaction import.
  • Improved several dialogs used to order items by adding the ability to use drag/drop with the mouse, in addition to "Move Up/Down" buttons.  Added to dialogs: Rearrange Investment Order, Custom Report Settings, Investments to Overlay (Graphs), Executive Summary Indices.
  • Improved the way Sharpe Ratio calculates so it can more consistently produce data, and report fewer "N/A" values.  Biggest improvement is calculations of Sharpe Ratios for combined investment objects, like sub-portfolios, categories, investment type, or currency. The monthly returns used in the calculations are now Time-Weighted Returns (TWR).  Previous methodology used only pricing/distribution data in investments, and calculated based off weighted average of investments.  TWR is much more robust against missing price data points.
  • Added the ability to export and import custom investment properties.  See "File / Import/Export / Other / Custom Properties...".
  • Added ability to customize the labels/choices for currency, investment type, asset type, investment goal, and sector from within the New Investment dialog.  The top choice in each of these selection boxes is "<Edit Labels...>" which enables customizing the available labels for that item.
  • When retrieving historical dividends from Yahoo you can now choose between: Reinvested, Reinvested (Whole Shares Only), or Distributed.  When selecting "Reinvested (Whole Shares Only)" only the amount needed to purchase a whole number of shares will be reinvested, and any remainder will be distributed.
  • Added option to suppress prompts to download program updates when automatically retrieving prices.  See new option "Options / Internet Settings... / Automatic Retrieve Frequency... / Do Not Prompt for Program Updates".
  • Added options for the Portfolio Performance and Executive Summary reports to display money removed from the portfolio as a negative value.  The option is on by default.  See "Options / Report Preferences... / Portfolio Performance / Display Removed Money as Negative Value" and the same option in the Executive Summary Options dialog.
  • Improved Accretion/Amortization dialog box.  Now defaults the date to the last entered transaction date.  Added an optional toolbar button for the Portfolio Editor and Graph window toolbars.
  • Made the transaction retrieve option to import investment banking transactions a sub-portfolio property instead of a global option.  Provides more flexibility so some accounts can have this on, and some can have it off.  See the new "Advanced..." button in the Transaction Retrieve Settings dialog.
  • Institutional transaction import improvement.  When importing institutional data files, don't show/log warnings for transactions that are filtered out by account or date.  Previously any un-known transaction would be displayed/logged, even it it was not being imported.
  • Increased amount of addressable memory space to 4GB.  Was previously limited to 2GB.  (Advisor version only)
  • When bulk printing, you can now customize the print job name, including using mail merge fields.  Helpful when bulk printing to PDF files.
  • Added "Install PDF Printer..." button to the report/graph print dialogs to enable printing to a PDF file.  Links to PrimoPDF site.
  • Added command to export specified lot information to a CSV file.  See "File / Export / Other / Specified Lots...".
  • Added an option to create/view a detailed communication log with quote servers when retrieving prices.  The option is enabled by default.  See "Options / Internet Settings... / Advanced Options... / Enable Detailed Communication Log".  Log is also available from "Help / Logs / Price Retrieve (Detailed)...".
  • Improved OFX retrieve/import for case where a 0 share reinvestment is reported for a cash type investment not assigned as the default cash account.  The advanced option "Default Cash Distributions are Reinvested" option will cause 0 share reinvestments in cash type investments to be recorded as reinvested based off the value, instead of the reported 0 shares.  Some brokers report cash reinvestments with a value, but zero for shares.  This helps in case where you do not have a default cash account assigned and cash reinvestments are reported this way.
  • Graph labels that are percentages now honor the decimal place setting under "Options / General Preferences... / Display / Decimal Places".  Previously they always displayed to 2 decimal places.
  • Technical Analysis graph improvements related to drawing candlesticks.  Changed the default colors such that up days are blue and down days are red by default.  Also now fill in candlestick body for both up/down days.  Previously up days were drawn with a hollow body.  Also allow candlestick bodies to shrink to only 1 pixel wide for zoomed out views to provide a less cluttered/overlapping appearance.
  • Improved "flickering" when moving mouse around on graphs
  • Added graph display option to limit keyboard scrolling/zooming of date ranges to areas of recorded data.  See "Graphs / Options / Display... / Zooming or Scrolling X Axis Limited to Data Range".  For example, the ending date of an investment based graph will not go before/past the first/last recorded closing price.
  • Added "Export to CSV..." to the right mouse menu on reports
  • Improved the asset/sector/goal manual entry in Investment Properties, so that after you enter a percentage the input focus goes back to the list in that dialog
  • Increased size of edit boxes in the buy/sell and distribution dialogs
  • Added %B value to legend of Technical Analysis graph when displaying Bollinger Bands
  • Added "Username" column in Bulk Print/Email and Client List dialogs.  Displays the Mobile/Web username for that client.
  • Added a warning/usage tip message box when creating a new report window when you already have many report windows open. Trying to help prevent creating very large number of report windows, which will slow down performance.  Warning can be turned off.
  • In the "Rearrange Investment Order" dialog, when the option "Show Investments From All Portfolios" is changed, any currently selected investment remains selected
  • Made the "Share Balance" and "Market Value" amounts in the Data Register copyable to the clipboard

August 1, 2017 versions 2016.14.15:

  • Changed entry of "Performance Fee %" in management fee method to be a straight percentage of profits, instead of an annual rate
  • Bug fix: Top level "Sort" menu in Management Fee report was not always working properly
  • Bug fix: Total was displayed incorrectly when recording a bond sale with accrued interest. Did not affect recorded transactions, just display in dialog.
  • Bug fix: Removed [[CURRENCY]] as an available legend text field in the overlay graph types.  Not supported in those graph types, and program could crash if used in those graph types.

  • Improvements related to Scottrade position imports from institutional files
  • When importing prices, if the price is 0, it is imported as 0.000001 instead of being skipped.  For institutional imports, these are written to import log.  If confirmation notices are on, a message box will be displayed when this situation happens.
  • Improvements to DST FAN Mail transaction import
  • Update required to fix the Yahoo (Alternate/Options/Real-Time) quote servers, including quote module 514
  • Bug fix: After closing a sub-portfolio, open graph windows that were overlaying portfolios could overlay the wrong sub-portfolio
  • Bug fix: When retrieving historical dividends from Yahoo (Historical), dividends that happened on the same day as a split were being treated as pre-split amounts, but Yahoo is reporting them post-split

  • Bug fix: Calculation of Out Of Pocket (OOP) cost on currently held shares could sometimes be wrong (incorrectly fixed in 2016.14.12)

January 13, 2016 versions 2016.14.5:

  • Digitally signed Fund Manager using a new (SHA256) code signing certificate. Was previously signing with an older (SHA1) code signing certificate.  When Fund Manager was downloaded using Internet Explorer the browser would report that the signature was invalid.  Any SHA1 code signing certificates used after the end of 2015 would cause this warning in IE.

January 12, 2016 versions 2016.14.4:

  • Added support for more Schwab institutional transaction codes
  • Bug fix: Accrued interest paid on a bond purchase could come in with an incorrect sign when retrieving transactions from your broker

  • Bug fix: Program could crash displaying certain error messages in price retrieve dialog when doing an unattended/automatic retrieve

November 17, 2015 versions 2016.14.2:

  • Bug fix: Changing the investment property "Accounting Method" to FIFO or AVG would not save

November 10, 2015 versions 2016.14.1:

  • Improved Schwab institutional interface to add support for updating CUSIP when available in new SEC files
  • Changed module that updates program (fmadmin.exe) manifest to require administrative permissions.  Used to have it set as highest available, preventing a standard user from elevating to a different user with admin permissions.
  • Bug fix: When copying the text from a custom report with the "Investment Type" field to the clipboard it would be empty if the investment type label was 20 characters or more
  • Bug fix: When reconciling an incorrect error message about "Unable to open specified folder" could appear under certain conditions
  • Bug fix: New Portfolio Editor field % Change-LD field was not color coded green when positive

October 5, 2015 versions 2016.14.0:

  • New optional "Mobile/Web Access" feature.  See "Options / Mobile/Web Access" to enable and set it up.  Your Fund Manager data can be viewed using the new free Fund Manager Android app, or through any web browser.  The Mobile/Web Access feature enables a view only look at your Fund Manager data through these other interfaces.  See this YouTube Tutorial and documentation for more information.  These new interfaces are available here:
  • New "Income Schedule" graph types.  Plot bar charts of future expected income by Month, Quarter, or Year.  Optionally show a break down of income by tax status (tax-free vs. taxable) or income style (dividends vs. bond interest). (more info)
  • Portfolio Editor List Templates.  Memorize Portfolio Editor list columns, and their order, and assign them to a template name.  Create as many templates as you want.  Easily switch between templates (right mouse click on list header or use "View / List Columns... / Templates...".)  Useful for quickly switching between different favorite views.  For example: a price view, a value based view, a view for watch lists, or a view for owned portfolios.
  • Updated for Windows 10 compatibility
  • Investment types are now user-definable, and the available number of types was increased.  You can have up to 25 different investment types (Stock, Bond, Mutual Fund, etc).  Names of all investment types can be defined by the user.
  • Improved status bar to provide more information, and be customizable.  Can now optionally display global currency status which displays both the current default currency symbol, and the displayed currency symbol if all investments are displayed in the same currency.  Displays "na" when not all investments are in the same currency.  Options are available to show the status of hidden investment display as well as the split adjusted option.  Can also toggle on/off the display of the current date/time.  Right mouse click on the status bar to choose which fields to display.
  • Added several new "Date Format" choices, including using the user-adjustable Windows format for a short date.  See "Options / General Preferences... / Display".
  • Added "Today", "Yesterday", "1 Week", "Week to date", "Last Week", and "Current Week" as pre-defined date range choices in the Report Settings and Graph Dates dialogs
  • Graph Trendline Improvements:
    • Slope displayed in status bar for trendline description, in terms of value/date. Helpful to make multiple trendlines at different prices parallel (Can also now copy an existing trendline using the mouse to easily maintain the exact same slope)
    • Move a whole trendline by grabbing/moving the middle.  Previously, could only move by an end.
    • Trendline markers "active" anywhere along trendline, instead of only at ends. Marker cursor appears slightly different when over an endpoint versus over trendline middle.
    • Graph popup tooltip displays smoother when moving the mouse
    • Move a trendline by just left clicking/dragging.  Previously had to hold down Ctrl+Shift while moving
    • Copy an existing trendline by holding down Ctrl before clicking/dragging (without Ctrl it is a move).  Can copy from either an endpoint or middle to have copy either retain one endpoint, or copy the whole line, keeping a constant slope.
    • If moving, cursor is an arrow.  If copying, cursor is an arrow with a + sign.
    • Editing any portfolio level trendlines was not previously marking the portfolio as needing to be saved
    • Portfolio trendlines are now associated with a particular sub-portfolio, instead of all sub-portfolios
    • Remember currency values for each trendline, and only display trendlines when that currency is being displayed.  Previously trendlines were ignoring currency, and always displayed.
  • Added "Currency" as a List By, Sub-Total By, and Filter By option in appropriate report types.  Available in Portfolio Value, Portfolio Performance, Investment Performance, Distribution Summary, Custom, ROI, and TWR reports.
  • Added "Currency" as a Filter By option in the Investment Transactions, Open Lots, and Income Schedule reports.

  • Added filtering capability to the Rebalance report.  Optionally filter by Symbol, Asset Type, Investment Goal, Sector, Investment Type, or Currency.  Filter can be either "include only" or "exclude" type.  Can be useful to eliminate cash from Rebalance report.
  • Added a new option that controls the "Float End Date" behavior for both memorized and portfolio recalled reports.  You can now choose from: Current Date, Date of Latest Price, Latest Weekday, or Yesterday.  See "Options / Report Preferences... / Other / Memorized Report End Date Floats To".  Default is Current Date.  In previous versions the end date always floated to the current date.
  • Added the ability to cancel a report while its data is being calculated.  Useful when the calculation is taking a long time.  See the new "Cancel and Close Report" button in the report calculation progress bar dialog.  Helpful when setting up new user-defined Custom report fields, and the calculation takes too long.
  • When checking for program updates (Help / Fund Manager on the Web / Check for Updates...) the main program version is made available to download when a newer version is available.  Previously only the Quote and Transaction Module versions were made available for updating.  If a newer main program version is available an option to visit the download page is presented, making it easier to keep Fund Manager updated to the current version.  An option to not display the notification about a new main program version is available for cases when you do not wish to update the main program.  Cleaned up the format of this version and quote server status dialog to be more clear.
  • New feature to re-create default cash account transactions.  Helpful for when transactions get entered/imported without a default cash account, and you later want to update the cash side of these transactions.  See "File / File Operations / Re-Create Default Cash Transactions...".
  • Added option to control precision of displayed percentage numbers.  Default is 1 decimal place.  See "Options / General Preferences... / Display / Percent Digits".
  • Added a new "Bill To Account" sub-portfolio property.  This allows management fees to be billed to any other specified account.  This value can be displayed in the Management Fee and Invoice reports.  (Advisor version only)
  • When scrolling the first overlaid investment in either of the investment overlay graph types, if the date range is currently set to PRC or TRN (price/transaction inception to date), the graph's starting date will be automatically adjusted to keep PRC/TRN as you scroll
  • When scrolling through the investment stack in a graph window, if the date drop-down is on TRN and the scrolled to investment has the same date range for PRC and TRN, keep it on TRN instead of switching it to PRC
  • Added ability to change the symbol for all investments based off either Name or CUSIP. See "Edit / Symbol List... / Edit Symbol by Name/CUSIP...".  Useful when imported investments come in with an empty symbol.
  • Improved report sorting. When displaying a multi-date range report, you can now sort by any field for any of those date ranges.  Previously you could only sort by the field for the first date range.
  • Added keyboard shortcuts to scroll through defined currency templates.  Ctrl + F11 changes to previous, and Shift + F11 changes to next currency template.  Template order is defined by sorting template names alphabetically.
  • When switching currency templates, the portfolio file is not marked as needing to be saved. Any edits in the Currency Settings dialog still cause the portfolio file to be marked as needing to be saved.
  • Added new advanced options to control updating closing prices when retrieving transactions or importing transactions from an OFX file.  See the "Advanced Options..." in the import wizards to control whether prices are updated from the OFX file or not. Additionally you can control whether the updated price comes from the reported price, or to use market value divided by units owned.  Defaults to using reported price.  The market value / units option can be useful for certain investments such as TIPS that have a price factor included in the market value calculation.
  • Added investment property to enable/disable updating price when retrieving transactions. See "Investment Properties... / Internet Retrieve / Update Price When Retrieving Transactions".
  • Added option to control whether multiple copies of Fund Manager can be running at the same time.  When off, any newly started copy will just bring up the already running copy, instead of starting a new one.  When on, it works as before where you can have multiple copies of Fund Manager running at the same time.  See "Options / General Preferences... / Other / Allow Multiple Program Instances".  This new option is initially set to OFF, so only a single instance will be running at a time by default.
  • Added support for new quote server: Thrift Savings Plan
  • Changed the "Expected Dividend Yield" custom report field to use the "Investment Properties... / Income / Payments per Year" field if specified.  If it is not specified it defaults to the prior behavior of estimating the dividend frequency based off prior recorded dividend transactions.
  • Added a "Apply To All Investments With Matching Symbol" option in "Investment Properties... / Income" to make it easier to apply the same income style properties to multiple investments at once.  This capability was previously only available in the Advisor version under "Edit / Symbol List...", but has been extended to all versions with this new option.
  • Added a "memo" field to price alerts.  Memo is displayed in the Data Register, Investment Transaction Report, alert emails, and in alert marker description in graphs.
  • Added ability to show Active, Completed, and Expired alerts independently in the Investment Transaction report.  See the Investment Transaction report's "Filter..." settings to control.
  • Added "Alert Type" description into alert emails
  • Improved Alert entry dialog to display the current moving average for the specified conditions when entering a moving average type of alert.  It also displays a live updated notice if the current conditions have already been met.
  • Added an "Unused" shares column to the Specify Lots dialog.  The new "Unused" column shows the difference between the "Available" and "Used" columns to make it easier when manually specifying lots.
  • After using the "Specify Lots" dialog if the investment is not assigned to use the "Specified Lots" accounting method you are given the opportunity to change in then.  Previously, you had to go to "Investment Properties... / Other / Accounting Method" to change it.
  • Added ability to customize the Pie chart and Stacked value graph colors (Options / Colors...)
  • Improved pie chart legend sizing to make the legend bigger, relative to the size of the pie chart.  Scales with window size, instead of being a fixed minimum size.
  • Added new legend field to investment based graphs for investment OOP gain and OOP gain per share.  See the new legend fields EINVPRICEGAIN (EINVPRICE - EINVCOSTNAV) and EINVGAIN (EINVVAL - EINVCOST).
  • Added ability to specify the font for the header of the Portfolio Editor list view separately from the list view.  See "Options / General Preferences... / Portfolio Editor Display".
  • Added support for mixed orientation (portrait or landscape) printing in batch printing. Previously you had to choose either all portrait or all landscape.  You can now have reports and graphs print with independent orientations.  (Advisor version only)
  • When shown, the "Transaction Specific Exchange Rate" option defaults ON/OFF based on whether or not you last chose this option.  The initial rate on new transactions defaults to the global rate.  Makes it easier to always use a transaction specific exchange rate.
  • A price for Cash type investments will now always be interpolated when calculating returns. Previously you needed to keep prices recorded on each date of interest in order to get returns reported, even though the price of cash is typically always kept at 1.
  • Added "Market Value" as one of the fields available in the Bond Summary report.  See "Options / Report Preferences... / Bond Summary".
  • Added a new "% Change-LD" (Latest Data) field to the portfolio editor that shows the % change from the most recent to prior recorded price.  Differs from current "% Change" which goes from current date to yesterday.  Helpful when most recent available price is not for the current date (different time zones of the market or viewing on a weekend).
  • When plotting a Stacked Value graph with the "Normalized" option on, the status bar displays % of each segment.  Previously it always displayed value, whether in normalized mode or not.
  • Improved OFX support for Split transactions.  (When numerator and denominator are both reported as 1, split ratio is determined from new/old units instead.)
  • Improved OFX support for Option transactions. When closing an option, support added for CLOSUREOPT code, honoring whether it was closing an option from a buyer or a writer.
  • New Portfolio Wizard improvement.  When an investment gets selected as the default cash account, the price retrieve option is turned off, and the type is set to Cash.  Helps avoid issue where some money market investments are reported as mutual funds, and end up retrieving 7 day yields as prices.
  • Added the reminder in the distribution dialog that value/shares are negative when recording a "Foreign Tax" type of distribution, just like with "Account Fees"
  • Investment Transaction report changed Notes and Split description to be left justified, instead of centered
  • Improved Stacked Value graph.  When displaying zero valued segments the display was displaying a thin line.  Now, zero valued segments are not plotted.  Significantly improved plotting speed also, especially for large sub-portfolios.
  • Forced a refresh of the Data Register after price import
  • Moved file association options to their own tab in the General Preferences dialog.  See "Options / General Preferences... / File Types".
  • Improved date filtering when retrieving historical prices.  Previously the date filtering was relying on the quote server.  If a quote server returned data for a date outside the request period, Fund Manager would accept it, and update that price.  Changed this to enforce only updating prices from historical quotes servers for dates within the user requested date range.
  • Changed generic, *.QIF, and *.PRN price imports to always import as actual closing prices (not split adjusted).  Previously, prices were imported based off "View / Split Adjusted" setting at the time of import.
  • Decreased minimum required shares before a cost is plotted from 0.01 to 0.001.  Minimum is to prevent really large costs from plotting when rounding problems in transactions left a small number of shares.
  • Updated the "New Investment File Format" prompt to display the version of Fund Manager that created the old investment file.  For really old or corrupt files it will display <Unknown Version>, otherwise it shows the version number.
  • Updated the date controls in the New Portfolio Wizard to support all the regular date control shortcut keys
  • Bug fix: Values could sometimes be incorrectly rounded when being displayed
  • Bug fix: Transfer In transactions imported with the "Generic" import would not be skipped if they were already in Fund Manager
  • Bug fix: When retrieving transactions from a broker, the accrued interest paid on a new bond purchase was being recorded as a positive interest received, instead of a negative interest paid.

March 12, 2016 versions 2014.13.8:

  • Fixed issue where the quote/transaction modules could be incorrectly reported as having a bad digital signature
  • Bug fix: Corrupt .mm4 file could cause program to crash
  • Bug fix: "Transfer In" type transactions imported with the "Generic" import would not be skipped if they were already in Fund Manager
  • Bug fix: When retrieving transactions from a broker, the accrued interest paid on a new bond purchase was being recorded as positive interest received, instead of negative interest paid.

April 29, 2015 versions 2014.13.7:

  • Updated retrieving dividends from Yahoo (Historical) to account for the reported distribution per share amounts being split adjusted
  • Bug fix: Program could crash upon startup under certain conditions
  • Bug fix: Filter option in Investment Transaction report to only show portfolio external contributions/withdrawals could sometimes incorrectly display internal transactions due to rounding issue
  • Released with quote module 479 which fixes the default quote server (Yahoo)

March 10, 2015 versions 2014.13.6:

  • Bug fix: Specify Lots dialog buttons "Max Gain" and "Min Gain" could sometimes work incorrectly
  • Bug fix: Under certain conditions the price retrieve could incorrectly update native currency prices as exchange rate adjusted pricing
  • Bug fix: Menu command "Help / Contents..." was not properly displaying home help page
  • Bug fix: Program could crash when importing a price with a symbol greater than 50 characters long
  • Bug fix: Program could crash if you closed the Internet Settings dialog while an automated price retrieve was happening. (Implemented a lock count when getting/freeing inteng functions)
  • Bug fix: Stacked graph by category or investment type could show wrong information in status bar, and clicking to zoom in a report could create the report for the wrong category/investment type
  • Improved installation program to be more reliable
  • Improvements to the Schwab institutional interface for transaction importing

December 3, 2014 versions 2014.13.5:

  • Bug fix: Program could crash after completing price retrieve
  • Bug fix: Program could crash when displaying extremely large numbers
  • Bug fix: The menu item "Graphs / Options / Normalize" would not always display properly
  • Bug fix: Sorting in the Open Lots report would sometimes sort by the wrong column

September 23, 2014 versions 2014.13.4:

  • Updated links in the program to the fundmanagersoftware.com site to all HTTPS
  • Improved restore operation of the client list.  If the portfolio file is restored to a new location, any clients pointed to the portfolio file at the old location are automatically updated in the client list.  Previously, restored client lists would stay pointed to the old location.
  • In the client information dialog an option was added to apply a portfolio file to all clients. Useful if you change the location of your portfolio file.
  • Updated Fidelity Advisor CHANNEL institutional interface for improved bond support, and updated instructions in online help
  • Updated Interactive Broker institutional interface for support of cancelled transactions
  • Updated Schwab institutional interface to add support for additional transaction codes
  • Added advanced registry only options for controlling SHORTBALANCE and MARGINBALANCE interpretation as negatives when importing OFX positions

July 15, 2014 versions 2014.13.3:

  • Improvement to the transaction specific exchange rate feature.  Previously, a transaction specific exchange rate could only be used to go from a non-default currency to the default currency.  If a default cash account was not in the default currency, the transaction specific exchange rate was ignored for determining the corresponding cash account entry, and the global exchange rate was used instead.  This update allows for a non-default currency cash account to be credited the appropriate amount based on both the transaction specific exchange rate to the default currency, plus the global exchange rate between the default currency and the currency of your cash account.
  • Added the ability to include an investment's sector in investment based graph legends.  See the new [[INVSECTOR]] field under "Graph Options / Legend Text...".
  • New Executive Summary, Correlation Matrix, and Open Lot reports remember report specific options from the last time these report types were created.  Previously, options for these reports would always default to the same settings.
  • Miscellaneous improvements to the Export Rebalance Trades feature when using the Scottrade format
  • Bug fix: Fixed trendline bug, where they could disappear if you edited using the mouse from the left end, without moving the point
  • Bug fix: In the Invoice report the option to control whether the account number is displayed in the management fee breakdown section was not being honored. (Options / Report Preferences... / Invoice / Options... / Display Columns / Account #).

May 21, 2014 versions 2014.13.2:

  • Improved TWR yield calculation speed, by up to a factor of 2 in some cases
  • Improved generic transaction import to prevent rounding errors from recording values to greater than 2 decimal places.  Previously, by specifying certain price and share combinations a value could be recorded to more than 2 significant digits, causing small cash account inaccuracies to be recorded.  Now the value is rounded to 2 decimal places, and the price is adjusted accordingly, thus moving any rounding into the price field instead of the value field.
  • Improved Schwab institutional transaction import to support additional transaction codes not previously supported
  • When using "Delete Price / One Date - All Investments..." the operation could be very slow due to re-calculations being done after each price was deleted.  Improved so recalculations are only done once at the end to greatly speed up the deletion process.
  • Bug fix: Program could crash when updating Portfolio Editor status bar in some cases
  • Bug fix: Spin-off wizard could fail in certain conditions due to rounding errors
  • Bug fix: Generic transaction export output DIST_3 and DIST_4 instead of DIST_A and DIST_T for accretion and amortization distribution transactions

April 20, 2014 versions 2014.13.1:

  • Added support for fixed income and balanced funds in asset type and sector retrievals from Morningstar.com
  • Added support for Morningstar.ca for asset/sector retrieval.  Supports Funds and ETFs only.  For asset retrieval it supports equity, fixed income, and balanced funds.  For sector retrieval, only equity based funds are supported.
  • Added options: "Investment Properties... / Asset Type / Do Not Update When Retrieving Asset Types" and "Investment Properties... / Sectors / Do Not Update When Retrieving Sectors".  Use these if you want to manually assign categories for this investment, but want to retrieve others.
  • Added support for exporting trades for rebalance to Scottrade Advisor Services format. See new "Export Format" choice in "File / Export / Other / Rebalance Trades..." dialog.
  • Changed "Apply" button label to read "Reset Defaults" under the "Use Default Sectors" drop-down in the Category Labels dialog to help eliminate confusion
  • Bug fix: Toolbar button to change graph scale was not always properly enabled/disabled when switching between graph types
  • Bug fix: Prevent initiating an automatic price retrieve until the prior price retrieve completes

April 10, 2014 versions 2014.13.0:

  • New "Sector" category feature added. This is a 3rd category for use, with all the same reporting/graphing/filtering functionality as the existing Asset Type and Investment Goal categories.
  • Sector and Asset Type category assignments can now be automatically retrieved from the internet. See "Edit / Internet Retrieve / Asset Types... and Sectors...".
  • Sector labels can be automatically set to Morningstar sectors, Yahoo sectors, GICS Sectors, or GICS Industry Groups
  • Added ability to re-order the display order for categories (Asset Type, Investment Goal, and Sectors). See "Options / Category Labels..." to specify the display order with the new "Move Up" and "Move Down" buttons. Previously the display order could be changed by changing the label text, but this affected the assignment of existing investments to categories. The new method allows re-arranging the display order without affecting existing investment properties.
  • New pie chart and stacked value graph for sectors, as well as a Risk/Reward - Sector graph
  • New Sector Allocation report
  • New Correlation Matrix report. Shows the correlation in a portfolio between groups: asset type, investment goal, sector, investment type, or currency. (Professional or Advisor versions only)
  • New option to normalize the stacked value graphs. When enabled, the stack size is normalized to 100%, so it is easier to see % allocation over time, rather than going up/down with the portfolio market value. See "Graphs / Options / Normalize" while viewing any stacked value graph.
  • Improved password protection feature. A single optional password can now be applied to all open data files, including all investments (*.dat), the portfolio file (*.mm4), and the client list (clientdb.fmc) for the Advisor version. Previously, password protection was only available at the investment level, and could be set differently for each investment file. To set the password setting see "Options / General Preferences... / Data / Password Protect Data". There is no longer a "Password" tab in the Investment Property dialog, as that has been replaced by the global password setting.
  • Added new report printing option to "Scale Down to 1 Page Wide When Necessary". See the "File / Page Setup..." dialog from within any report window. Makes it easier to fit wide reports onto a page, rather than having to adjust fonts, column widths, and page margins.
  • New "Currency Templates" to memorize all of your currency settings. Record an unlimited number of currency templates. Helpful to change your default currency and exchange rate rules, so you can quickly see your portfolio displayed in different currencies. For examples of how to configure currency templates, see the documentation here.
  • Increased the maximum number of open investments in the Professional version to 5,000. Was previously 2,000. Limits for the Personal and Advisor version remain un-changed at 500 and 50,000.
  • Added new optional "Model Portfolio" property for sub-portfolios. This assigned model portfolio can be utilized when running a Rebalance report or exporting rebalance trades. Allows for easier customization of models on a per-account basis, and enables batch printing of the Rebalance report, with varying model portfolios on a per-client basis. (Advisor version only)
  • Improved the "File / Export / Other / Rebalance Trades" dialog to either export only a selected sub-portfolio, or all sub-portfolios at once that have an assigned "Model Portfolio" property.
  • New option to control whether or not to allow summing of values across currencies. By default, values will not be summed across currencies. (When the "Exchange Rate Adjusted" option is off, and an object combines values from multiple currencies, N/A will be reported. For example, a portfolio value will be N/A if that portfolio contains investments using more than 1 currency and the exchange rate adjusted option is off.) See "Options / General Preferences... / Other / Allow Summing Values from Different Currencies".
  • Added "Exchange Rate" as an optional column in the Investment Transaction report. Displays the exchange rate used for that transaction.
  • Added "Exchange Rate" as an optional column in the Open Lots report. Displays the exchange rate used when purchasing that open lot.
  • Added currency symbols to report line items when values are displayed in the non-default currency
  • On the "Income" tab of the Investment Properties Dialog when using the "Dividend" income style you can now specify different dividend amounts for each payment date. Previously, the same dividend amount was used for all payment dates.
  • Added "Comments" text section to the Executive Summary report. Can now enter any desired text to the Executive Summary report.
  • Improved the batch print feature. Added support for changing report date range to "Earliest Transaction to Date" or "Earliest Price to Date" as each report is printed. If the original report was set with this date range setting, then as each client's report is printed, the date range will be updated as appropriate for that client. Previously the date range was never changed as a report was printed for each client.
  • Improved the calculation of the hypothetical portfolio price for the Portfolio/Investment(s) Overlay / Price + Dist. Graph by using a daily ROI calculation. This ROI calculation method includes effects of transactions not done at the closing price. Prior method (Weighted Average) did not include effects of transaction prices that differed from closing prices. The new ROI calculation method is more precise, but slower, so the old method is still available via an option. See "Graphs / Options / Display... / Allow Fast Portfolio "Price" Calculation for Price + Dist. Overlay Graph.
  • Added new quote servers: "Morningstar - Stocks" and "Morningstar - Funds"
  • Added new command "File / File Operations / Create Investment from Investments...". Allows you update an existing, or create a new investment, by combining prices from any 2 selected investments. Prices can be combined with any operator (+, -, *, or /). Useful for custom benchmark creation, or technical analysis such as relative strength. (Professional or Advisor versions only)
  • Made an easier way to duplicate an investment with new command: "File / File Operations / New Investment from Existing...". Makes a copy of selected investment and places it into a designated sub-portfolio. New investment is created with all the same properties as existing investment and options to keep all pricing/transaction data, or not.
  • When hidden investments are displayed in the Portfolio Editor they are displayed with a grey icon to help visualize which investment are hidden
  • Status bar in Portfolio Editor window now displays the number of selected and displayed items in the list. Format is S #, D #.
  • Portfolio Editor displays name of list view selected item in the status bar. This can be helpful when horizontally scrolling and the name column scrolls off the screen.
  • In the Portfolio Editor list view, when showing the Asset Type, Investment Goal, or Sector columns and values are not 100% in a single category, an asterisk is added to the label to illustrate this
  • Status bar displays full portfolio path when recent portfolios at bottom of file menu are highlighted
  • Double clicking on an asset/goal/sector in Investment Properties assigns 100% to that category, and 0% to all others. Added new right mouse menu also called "Assign 100%" to do this same operation. Makes it much easier to switch 100% assignments instead of having to type 100% and edit any other categories down to 0%.
  • Added new custom report fields (also available in Invoice report):
    • Value + accrued interest (beginning)
    • Value + accrued interest (ending)
    • Accrued interest (between)
  • When highlighting a report row listing by symbol, the status bar shows the name and how many sub-portfolios that symbol is located in
  • When listing or subtotaling reports by Symbol, report lines can be set to either display the "Symbol" or the general "Investment Description". This new option is in the "Report Preferences... / General" dialog. The Investment Description preference can be customized under "General Preferences... / Display".
  • Changed the "Last Month", "Last Quarter" and "Last Year" date range choices to be relative to the current computer date, instead of the default ending date
  • Improved "Transaction Retrieve Settings" dialog to display broker specific tips on entering username/password for that broker
  • Improved backup/restore functionality. When performing a manual backup (File / Backup...) the data file locations are checked. If all data files are not all in the same directory, user is prompted to use "Set Data Location" dialog. Backing up with all the data in a single folder makes restoring to a new computer easier. This dialog has a "Do not show again" option for those who purposely choose to keep data files in multiple locations.
  • Miscellaneous speed improvements
  • New graph calculation logging feature. See "Help / Graph Calculation Log...". Helpful when trying to understand why graphs may not be displaying all requested data, like in the Scatter Plots, or yields being reported as N/A.
  • Changed product versioning/name to include the year of release in name, i.e. Fund Manager 2014 versus an incrementing number 13
  • Improved statistics section of Portfolio Properties dialog to display both the unique and total investment count when they are different. If an investment is open more than once the total investment count will be different than the unique investment count. The unique investment count is the relevant number to apply against the maximum number of allowed investments. Previously, only the total investment count was displayed.
  • Improved portable/cloud mode robustness by improving log file creation and reading. When running in portable mode on Dropbox/Google Drive/OneDrive many of the price retrieve log files are being synced while FM is retrieving prices. Previously this could result in access conflicts, causing Fund Manager to stop and report an error. Now, if a log file is temporarily unavailable, Fund Manager will pause briefly and re-try. Tries several times, for up to 5 seconds before reporting an error.
  • Added support to the generic transaction import for specifying bond properties on newly created investments. Support added for maturity date, coupon rate, payment frequency, and issue date.
  • Accessibility improvement: Added support for the extended keyboard "Application" or "Menu" key to bring up the right mouse menus. In addition to this key you can also use Shift + F10 to bring up the right mouse menus.
  • Improved internet price retrieve log to give more detailed information
  • Improved retaining keyboard focus in the Portfolio Editor window. When returning to the Portfolio Editor window, focus is restored to either the tree or list view depending on the last control that had the input focus.
  • Added [[CURRENCY]] as an option to the report headers field choices. It displays the currency if a single currency is used, or (na) when multiple currencies are displayed.
  • Added option to control whether or not to display the horizontal sub-total and total lines above and below Contribution, Withdrawals, With-Dist columns in the Portfolio Performance report. By default these lines are not displayed to help illustrate these fields are not displaying simple sums (definition of internal/external is relative to each report line). See "Options / Report Preferences... / Portfolio Performance / Cash Flow Style".
  • Added support for comment lines in generic transaction import files. Any line beginning with # is considered a comment line, and ignored.
  • Improved generic transaction import such that when importing a new investment without specifying the NAME field the new investment name will default to the name of another existing investment with the same symbol before resorting to using the symbol as the name.
  • Added a right mouse menu on each of the category lists in the "Options / Category Labels..." dialog to "Sort Alphabetically"
  • Report headers using mail merge fields (like [[SUBPORT_MEMO]]) where the substituted values have multiple lines, were not accounted for in the vertical spacing. Report headers could overlap with the column labels and report data.
  • Updated Custom report field "Latest Transaction Date" to include dates from any transaction, including transfers. Previously this field ignored transfers.
  • Improved the "Set Data Location" command to not truncate existing filename to 11 characters when moving the investment file
  • Improved algorithm for determining portfolio external transactions (contributions/withdrawals). Looks at non-cash investments first when determining internal matches. Considered the case where there is a buy of cash, buy of investment, and a sell of cash for the same amount on the same date. In this case, always match investment buy and cash sell before matching cash buy and cash sell. Previously in some cases the buy of cash would match against this sell of cash, leaving the buy of the investment designated as the portfolio external transaction.
  • Main program icon updated to include a high resolution version
  • Added check to make sure window does not get set to a position off the screen. Could happen if you had multiple monitors, FM was on the end one, and then monitor gets removed.
  • Added support for reading SHORTBALANCE from an OFX file. Can optionally be used for determining default cash account balance. See the "Advanced Note on Handling Cash" section in the documentation here.
  • Improved QIF import
  • Added option "Do Not Display This Message Again" to error message boxes prompting if you want to view the log and check the online server status after price retrieve failure
  • In the "Alert" popup dialog, added a column to display the "Sub-Portfolio" name. Helpful when the same investment is owned in multiple sub-portfolios. Also made this dialog re-sizable.
  • Added new option "Export Version" to the "File / Export / Prices / SuperCharts..." command so you can get data exported in 2 different versions. The column headings are different between the 2 versions.
  • Fixed issue where marker tooltips with long text would flicker on/off
  • Improvements to Scottrade institutional transaction import.  Added support for "mini" options.  (Advisor only)
  • Bug fix: After drawing a trendline on a graph, marker tooltips could temporarily stop displaying until some other dialog was opened
  • Bug fix: Using the "Preferences..." button from within the "Report Settings" dialog could cause the program to crash in some cases
  • Bug fix: When editing a reinvested distribution in an investment that is in a non-default currency and you change the transaction specific exchange rate, that distribution transaction could become corrupted
  • Bug fix: Copying Open Lots report to clipboard did not always maintain correct alignment of column labels with data

  • When opening the Transaction Retrieve Settings dialog from within another dialog, don't allow the input focus to go back to parent dialog before the Transaction Retrieve Settings dialog is dismissed
  • Made quote server connection errors retry upon failure.  Whether to retry, and the number of retry attempts, are user adjustable with the "Persistent Request X Times" setting under "Options / Internet Settings...".  An error message box requiring user interaction is only displayed after all retry attempts fail.  Previously, server connection errors would always generate error message boxes requiring the user to dismiss them to continue.
  • Added support for Schwab's new "B/D Core Files" for their institutional interface imports/reconciliation.

November 14, 2013 versions 12.7:

  • Changed the way prices are imported from Scottrade .SE1 files.  Import now matches based on CUSIP.  Previously, match was based off Symbol.

  • Bug fix: In portable mode, creating a custom report could cause the program to crash
  • Bug fix: Linked sub-portfolios were not labeled properly in legend of stacked value by sub-portfolio graph

April 29, 2013 versions 12.2:

  • When transaction specific exchange rate is recorded to more than 6 digits, do not display/round it to 6 digits when editing that transaction
  • When a custom report lists by type, goal, or asset and it had a user-defined field with a value of 0, that line item would previously be displayed.  Changed this so that if the value is 0, that line will not be displayed, unless there are other non-zero items for that line.
  • Added support for rarely used transaction codes for FOLIOfn institutional interface
  • Changed the way the NAME field qualifies which investment gets updated on a generic transaction import.  Default is to not have to match. Registry only option is available to have the old functionality where the name must also match.  Investment level matching now only requires a match on the symbol.
  • Improved importing of foreign tax withheld from Schwab Data Delivery transaction files
  • Changed required permission levels such that standard users can install/run outside of Program Files (x86) folder.  Previously you always had to obtain admin permissions to install program updates no matter where the program was installed.

  • Bug fixes:
    • When entering a decimal number for an allocation target and using the 1.000,00 number format, decimal numbers could not be entered
    • When using the date format preference of DD/MM/YYYY memorizing reports would not be saved properly, so could not be recalled.  The last auto-backup date would also not be remembered properly when using this date format preference.
    • When calculating the normalized standard deviation of a price field in a Custom report the program could crash under some circumstances
    • When opening the Data Register for a hidden investment when hidden investments are not being displayed (possible from within Reconciliation Wizard or a Capital Gains Report) the Data Register wouldn't display that hidden investment properly
    • When editing a purchase transaction that had previously been used when specifying lots, the lot assignment would be lost
    • Formatting of date ranges for display could be wrong in some cases, where the starting/ending years were the same and space is limited

    • Fixed issue reconciling with Schwab BLD files where sometimes cash would come in with incorrect sign
    • Management fees were not importing as "reinvested" from TDA Institutional TRN files

November 8, 2012 versions 12.0:

  • Added 10 custom fields to investments so you can track, sort, sum, or perform other math on these fields.  Field labels and data type are specified by the user under "Options / Custom Investment Properties...".  Fields can be text, a number, or a date.  When the fields are a number or a date, a "combination method" is also selected.  Available combination methods include: none, sum, average, weighted average, min, or max.  Fields can be shown in a Custom report or in the Portfolio Editor.  Fields can be used in user-defined custom report fields.
  • Added a new optional "Portable/Cloud Mode" so that you can keep your data and preferences on a cloud drive, shared network drive, portable drive, or memory stick (sometimes called a "Jumpdrive").  When using this mode all your data and preferences are stored in the same folder as the program itself.  You can then run Fund Manager from this folder from any computer, and have your same data and preferences available no matter which computer is used to access the program.  See "Options / General Preferences... / Data / Portable/Cloud Mode".
  • Added options for performance based management fees.  Can use a combination of non-performance plus performance based fees.  Performance fee calculations support a High Water Mark (HWM) and optionally a hard or soft Hurdle Rate.  The Hurdle Rate can be a combination of a fixed percentage plus the rate of any selected benchmark rate investment.  Added more detail to the Management Fee report to view breakdown of performance and non-performance fees, as well as the High Water Mark.  (Advisor version only)
  • Added option to show totals on the Investment Transaction report.  See "Options / Report Preferences... / Investment Transactions" to select various levels of detail to be shown in report totals.
  • Added Transaction Specific Exchange Rate support.  Optionally specify a transaction specific exchange rate when recording a buy, sell, or distribution transaction in an investment not assigned to the default currency.  When specified, the transaction specific exchange rate will be used for converting that transaction to the default currency.  When not specified, the global exchange rates will be used instead.
  • New bulk email to clients feature.  Allows sending automatically a set of graphs/reports to clients by email.  See "File / Batch Print/Email...".  Also added a new "Email Options..." dialog available in either the batch mode or single email mode to allow customizing the subject and message body, including mail merge support.  Control of whether emails are previewed before being sent is also available.  (Advisor version only)
  • Added "All Transactions" as a new Data Type choice in the Data Register.  Renamed prior "Transactions (all)" to "Share Transactions".  The new "All Transactions" data type shows all Share Transactions (Buy/Sell/Transfers), all Distributions, and all Splits at the same time.  Useful to see everything at once.
  • New "Export Rebalance Trades" tool to export the trades necessary to rebalance a sub-portfolio to match a selected model sub-portfolio.  Rebalancing is done by % of security in the sub-portfolio.  Options to control the number of shares traded and a minimum % off target before a trade is created.  See "File / Export / Other / Rebalance Trades...".  (Advisor version only)
  • New "Model Portfolio" type of allocation target is available for the Rebalance Report.  When using a model sub-portfolio as an allocation target the Rebalance Report lists each symbol in the sub-portfolio, including information on how far off target that symbol's allocation is from the model sub-portfolio.  (Advisor version only)
  • New report filter option to either "Include Only Selected Item" or "Exclude Selected Item".  Previously report filters always worked by including the selected item only.  The new exclude filter option enables including everything except a particular symbol, investment type, asset type, investment goal, or currency.
  • Added a new optional "Data Protection" feature which ensures only 1 person can be running this copy of Fund Manager at a time.  If you have multiple users needing access to Fund Manager this data protection makes sure only 1 person at a time uses Fund Manager and your data.  Fund Manager is not truly "networkable", and only 1 person can be accessing your data at a time.  With this feature you can know that once you start Fund Manager nobody else will also be trying to access the same data at the same time, preventing possible data loss that could happen otherwise without this data protection.  Once you exit Fund Manager someone else can then start it from any other computer.  (See the Portable/Cloud Mode option for details.)  (Advisor version only)
  • New "File / File Operations / Set Data Location..." command to save all investments and portfolio file into a common folder.  Handles making sure all filenames are unique and all data saved into a single specified folder.  Helpful to use before transferring data to a new computer when you want to restore everything to a single folder on new computer.
  • Added ability to import client information like name, address, phone, email, etc.  Import formats supported include tab delimited (*.TXT), comma delimited (*.CSV), and vCard files (*.VCF).  See "File / Import / Other / Client Info...".  (Advisor version only)
  • New command (Options / Investment Type...) to specify the order investment types are displayed in reports and graphs.  Used in reports when a report is set to subtotal or list by Investment Type.  Used in several graphs that plot per investment type.
  • Added new menu commands to the "More >>" menu in the Data Register.  Can now perform a wide variety of operations from within the Data Register for the selected investment or sub-portfolio.
  • Added support for multiple monitors when positioning dialog windows
  • New export command to save a graph's data points to a text file (CSV).  See "File / Export / Other / Graph Data Points..." from within any graph window.
  • Reduced memory required per investment.  Best case reduction is 35%, depending on amount of investment prices/transactions.  Improves overall memory requirement, and program speed.
  • Updated for Windows 8 compatibility
  • Added "Realized Gain/Loss" fields to Custom report.  Previously realized gain/loss values were only available in the Capital Gains report.  Added new Custom report fields:
    • Tax basis realized gain, Assigned Method (between)
    • Tax basis realized gain, FIFO (between)
    • Tax basis realized gain, AVG (between)
    • Tax basis realized gain, Specific Lot (between)
    • Tax basis realized gain, Assigned Method (inception)
    • Tax basis realized gain, FIFO (inception)
    • Tax basis realized gain, AVG (inception)
    • Tax basis realized gain, Specific Lot (inception)
  • Added Capital Gains report option "Combine Common Transactions by Investment" so all transactions of the same type (closing a long or short position) and holding period (short/medium/long) for a given investment will be combined onto a single report line.  When this option is on, the reported sell date can be a range, instead of a single date.
  • New command to generate a synthetic investment from a sub-portfolio.  Updates investment pricing with sub-portfolio market values.  Can either create a new investment, or update an existing investment.  Useful for creating a custom benchmark.  See "File / File Operations / Create Investment from Portfolio...".  (Professional or Advisor versions only)
  • Added "Notes" as a new Data Type choice in the Data Register to view/edit notes in the investment
  • When the selected Data Type displays multiple transaction types, the "New" button displays as "New >>" instead of "New..." and selecting the button brings up a menu to choose the desired new transaction type.
  • Added "Help / Report Calculation Log..." menu command to view log file showing details of how report data is calculated.  Adds helpful explanations when certain data cannot be calculated.
  • Added support for TIAA-CREF institutional interface.  Imports transactions, positions, prices, security info, and supports reconciling.  (Advisor version only)
  • Made the "Preview Importing Transaction", "Preview Importing Positions", "Reconcile" and "Bulk Reconcile" dialogs resizable
  • Put text showing "Total" in the Buy/Sell and New Investment dialogs, showing total of transaction including any commission fees, so it is easier to see typos, and know the total amount of the transaction
  • Added "Memo", "Tax Basis" and "Tax Gain" as available fields in the Open Lots report.  To enable, see "Options / Report Preferences... / Open Lots".
  • The "Copy" feature in the Data Register now also copies a tab delimited text version of the selected data to the clipboard, in addition to the existing binary format for use in pasting back into the Data Register.
  • Added option to select a default filename format for new investments.  Choose <Symbol>.dat or <Symbol>_<Acct #>.dat.  See the "New Investment Options" dialog.
  • New Investment Dialog improvement.  When you select a symbol from the drop-down and that symbol is in more than 1 asset type or investment goal a new drop-down option: <existing symbol info> is selected so the new investment will use the allocations assigned from the existing symbol.
  • Added "Web News..." command to the right mouse menu in the Portfolio Editor when a single investment is selected
  • Can now choose which fields to show in the management fee breakdown section of the Invoice report.  See "Report Preferences... / Invoice / Options...".  (Advisor version only)
  • Memorized reports are sorted by name at the bottom of the "Reports" menu and in the "Memorized Reports" dialog.  Previously memorized reports were listed by creation date.
  • Portfolio Performance report option to display the Yield for either the "Report Date Range" or "Period Owned Within Report Date Range".  Equivalent to Custom report fields ROI Yield (between) and ROI Yield (owned between).
  • Improved OFX multi-currency import support.  (Was previously only reading CURSYM. Now reads both CURDEF and CURSYM.)
  • Improved error message on a failed quote server to display log file of internet retrieve showing what prices were requested and updated for each used quote server
  • Significant speed improvements when importing transactions and positions, especially when importing transactions/positions for new investments in large portfolios
  • Added a "Preferences..." button to the Report Settings... dialog that opens associated report type's Report Preferences page
  • Added "Share Balance" and "Market Value" onto main Data Register window to easily see current balance/value for any selected investment and data type
  • Improved the transaction/position import process so the main user interface does not freeze up when importing a large set of data
  • Improved price/transaction module update feature to be more robust.  Now works when a standard user elevates to an admin user with a different account.
  • Significantly improved memory usage and creation speed of Investment Transaction report, especially for large portfolios
  • Added date format option to include leading zeroes in date, as in: 02/05/12 versus 2/5/12.  See "General Preferences... / Display".

  • Significantly improved speed of closing all investments and closing a portfolio file
  • Modified "% Change" field in the Portfolio Editor to display percent change in value for sub-portfolios.  Previously only showed % change in price for investments.
  • Added right mouse menu to "Position Preview" dialog for multiple item selecting, un-selecting, and viewing transaction details
  • Allocation targets for the Rebalance report are listed alphabetically in Report Settings dialog, instead of the order they were defined
  • Eliminated zero valued items from the pie chart legend.  Previously, when the display option "Sort Pie Slices by Value" was off, all items would be displayed in order, regardless of whether or not they had a non-zero value.
  • Improved date range settings for investment graphs.  On a "custom" date range if the specified ending date for that investment is the last price date and the same option is applied to all investments then all investments will be set to their own last price point, and thus "float".
  • Added ability to specify printer and page setup options from within the Batch Print/Email dialog.  See the "Report Printer..." and "Graph Printer..." buttons in the "Batch Print/Email Options" dialog.  (Advisor version only)
  • In all of the transaction and position import dialogs when importing for a specific account only, the account list is now sorted
  • When importing an OFX file or retrieving transactions with the "Record Matching Purchase/Distribution as Reinvestment" option on the memo is recorded as a concatenation of the Distribution and Purchase memos.  Previously it was only recorded with the Purchase memo.
  • In the Data Register the "Type" label for reinvestments was improved to add the distribution type, such as Dividend Reinvestment, instead of just Reinvestment
  • Improved Open Lots report so that when filtering by symbol a total in the Shares column will be displayed
  • Simplified user interface for the transaction retrieve and OFX file import wizards by moving less used options into a separate "Advanced Options..." dialog.
  • Changed trailing stop loss alert percentage resolution to 0.1 instead of 1
  • New manually entered price has a dialog that starts off empty instead of with last price info which usually must be changed
  • Spin-off wizard will only record an "Other" distribution in the parent when the market value is different than the cost basis in the child investment.  Previously if the market value was the same as the cost basis a zero valued "other" distribution would be recorded un-necessarily.
  • Changed double down arrow to "More >>" in Data Register to make the button more obvious
  • Changed the text of the "Cancel" button to "Skip" in the investment password prompt dialog to help eliminate confusion between this button and the "Cancel All" button.  Updated the online help topic for this dialog to explain the function of each button.
  • Fixed Sharpe Ratio calculation to prevent near zero standard deviation of returns (denominator) from allowing very large results
  • Added text to Graph and Report options dialogs that hide cash investments in graphs and zero share investments in reports that these options are controlled by "View / Hidden Investments/Portfolio" to help eliminate confusion
  • In the New Portfolio Wizard deleted the last page option to create a new top level portfolio file.  Helps to eliminate confusion when setting up accounts for the first time.
  • Fixed samples that ship with Fund Manager to have "View / Hidden Investments/Portfolios" turned off to prevent confusion.  This option is memorized in portfolios, so it would stay on after opening a sample portfolio and cause confusion when hiding sold investments.  Unless you remembered to turn this option off, hidden investments would be shown.
  • Added support for importing re-org fees from Scottrade institutional transaction files.  (Advisor version only)
  • Removed the "New Zealand Stock Exchange (MoneyOnline)", "Stockhouse.ca", "Yahoo - China", and "Yahoo - Hong Kong" quote servers, they are no longer available/working
