Vanguard Download Gets Lumped into One Account Buck Turgidson 12-20-2007

When I download transactions from Vanguard, they all go into one mutual fund
account, even though I have several Vanguard mutual funds. When I try and
set up online services for the other accounts, I get a message saying that
they're already registered at Vanguard.

Any idea how to rectify this situation, and keep the downloaded transactions
from going into one account?

Buck, Do you have multiple accounts, or just multiple mutual funds in a
single account. It sounds like the latter. If Vanguard considers you to
have a single account with multiple funds, then the download will want all
funds in a single account. You probably know the answer, but if not, check
a recent statement.

Yes, it's the latter. Does this mean I'm stuck? Thanks.

I don't understand why you would want separate accounts for each
fund, but if you're willing to give up Direct downloads, you
should be able to go to Vanguard's web site and initiate a
download from there, where you get the option to download each
fund to a separate Quicken account.

What Vanguard does is identify each fund with a fund number and an
Vanguard account number. All Vanguard funds with the same account
number go into the same Quicken account in Direct downloads. So to get
the downloads you want, you need a different account number for each
grouping. For example I have different account numbers for taxable,
IRA, and Roth accounts I have at Vanguard. If you open a new fund,
make sure they use the account number for the right grouping. I
bought a new IRA fund and they used my taxable account number as a
default instead of my IRA account number. It downloaded to the
"wrong" account in Quicken although Vanguard had it in the correct
group. They didn't understand when I called up to ask them to change
the account number but they did it anyway. Fixed the problem.
