: I figured out the problem. I allowed it to create new investments and compared differences.
: It needed the CUSIP number. It completely ignores the stock symbol.
: All my other accounts were fine with my original setup (symbol but no CUSIP).
: I input the CUSIP in my Fidelity investments and they update now.

: Thanks, Joe

Excellent, thanks for the update Joe. To clarify how Fund Manager matches up investments with retrieved transactions, this snippet is from the online documentation:

"When Fund Manager retrieves transactions from your broker or mutual fund company a CUSIP is reported for each retrieved transaction. When Fund Manager matches up retrieved transactions with your existing investments it first looks for investments with a matching CUSIP. If a matching investment could not be found based on CUSIP, it next looks for a match based on the recorded symbol. Using the CUSIP to match your transactions up with your investments will be more reliable than using the symbol, as some broker and mutual fund companies do not always provide the symbol, although they do always provide a CUSIP."

Thanks,
Mark
