What if my fund or investment has no recognized ticker?

Where to find it: ACCOUNTS and INVESTMENTS → Edit Investments

You can enter a holding without an automatic price feed. Open the account’s Edit Investments screen, select the appropriate Add Investment button and choose its type. Give it a unique name within the account and leave the symbol blank.

Enter its value and valuation date from your statement, along with book value, allocation and expected returns. You will need to update the value yourself. This is useful for employer-plan funds whose codes are unavailable and for private investments without a price feed. For a private-debt or real-estate fund, enter the holding as an investment and review its expected-return components and allocation. A real-estate limited partnership belongs in investments rather than as a directly owned property in REAL ESTATE.

For a mutual or segregated fund, first check the exact Fundserv code on the statement or with the plan provider. A similarly named retail fund may be a different series with different fees. If you enter a segregated fund, the TIME MACHINE models the entered returns; it does not model the contract’s particular guarantees.

For supported physical metals such as gold and silver, use the dedicated Metal investment type instead. See Metal investment Help for the symbols, quantity units and CAD values.
