: I have some Canadian dollar denominated investments that Yahoo quotes in Canadian dollars. I wish to automatical convert the price of these investments to US dollars on a daily basis. I used the currency conversion tool to set C to ^xcd (the symbol for Canadian dollars on Yahoo). Yahoo quotes this FX as USD/Canadian Dollars. Which currently yields $.68. I think Fund Manager is expecting the reciprocal because instead of multiplying my investment times ^xcd to yield USD it is dividing. Yahoo's feed only downloads this FX in one form and I have not found a way to change this setting on Fund Mangaer. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello,
Yes, you can use the "Invert Prices When Updating" feature for
the exchange rate investment. See "Investment Properties/Other".

Thanks,
Mark
