: I have some US stocks in my portfolio and have set up an exchange rate file and enabled View/exchange rate adjusted to convert their price to Canadian dollars. The problem is that the conversion is not accurate. For example BEC was $40.79 US on June 13 and the exchange rate was $0.75 CD = 1$US. This data is in fund manager and on Yahoo. Fund manager shows the price as $55.76 CAD. However when I calculate the CAD$ price of BEC I get $54.35 CAD. I set the exchange rate manually in preferences, with the same result.
: Can you tell me how I can fix this discrepancy?
: I have FM 6.5
: Thank you

Hi Raymond,

Where are you viewing the prices? If you'd like to send me your portfolio
and these investments I can take a look, and try and figure out where
things went wrong.

Thanks,
Mark
