I don't think that this function was moved.
I have a variety of investments in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, bond
funds, bullion coins, US Savings Bonds, even a private REIT. I
downgraded from Premier to Deluxe several years ago on one of the annual
releases. The only thing I saw different was the Morningstar ratings on
mutual funds. I also seem to remember some alerts about selling some
investments based on the tax ramifications.
If there were other features, I don't remember them. In any case, I
didn't see any benefit to any of them.
